Looking to transition to SAP S/4HANA but STUCK on how to start?
Migrating to S/4HANA is complex and time-consuming
There are many transformation considerations when moving to SAP S/4HANA. Most companies don’t have the skills to orchestrate this transition, which can lead to costly downtime. Organizations running older versions of SAP HANA need to upgrade to S/4HANA by 2027. Those who don’t will not realize the benefits of extensive product enhancements, integrated support, and bug fixes.
What happens if you don’t upgrade?
SAP S/4HANA provides comprehensive functionality enhancements and support. As a result, if you’re running Oracle, IBM DB2, or Microsoft SQL, and don’t upgrade to S/4HANA, you’ll need to migrate to a different ERP product or seek third party support.
Now is the time to prepare your move to SAP S4/HANA
This is not an overnight transformation. To achieve optimal results with minimal business impact, you need to get your data ready today.
Plan a seamless transition by considering these critical questions:
- Do you need to combine requirements from your business, IT, and other departments?
- Do you know what data is needed, or is data cleansing or data restructuring needed?
- Are there processes that need to be changed, adapted, or re-implemented entirely?
Carefully consider your unique business requirements to ensure a sensible, optimal, informed transition.

Cloud, On-Prem, or Hybrid – what’s the right one for my business?
One of the best benefits SAP delivers is a fully maintained integration that works with any platform. This allows you to continue leveraging the groundwork you have built over the years, including any employee portal applications, and to be able to efficiently deploy it ready to use and functionally complete. This in itself is a time-saver and offers immediate benefits to you.
There are varying degrees of licensing, infrastructure, maintenance, planning, testing, controlling, and implementation to consider. We will help you understand your options to deploy what’s best for you.
SAP S/4HANA On-Premise
This is an internal platform, based on the SAP S4/HANA in-memory database platform, located on your servers, and managed by your company. You manage and take control of your HANA database, applications, servers, networks, and other related systems.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Available to enterprises both in public and private clouds, this Software as a Service (SaaS) edition of S/4HANA, enables its users to leverage S/4HANA functionality without any need for hardware, a database, or internal IT staff. SAP will provide and handle almost everything, including applications, data, runtime, middleware, operating system, servers, storage, and networking. Grow your environment or application(s) without having to invest in additional hardware or infrastructure.
SAP Hybrid Deployment Benefits – combining the best of Cloud and On-Prem
Hybrid Configurations
Many enterprises choose this method to leverage and deploy different SAP enterprise software on either hybrid multi-clouds or a combination of on-premises/cloud data centers in a public cloud – this is especially helpful to industries needing to remain compliant with industry regulations.
Two-Tier ERP Deployment
Larger enterprises may want to consider this model, which is aimed at harmonizing operations and integrations between a company headquarters and subsidiaries, yet also allowing them to be independent or dependent
- Integrate with multiple vendors and sub-contractors to form your own supply chain network, reducing manual intervention through process automation and offering higher visibility
- Companies with different lines of business can introduce new innovations faster, without interference from an on-prem installation
Greenfield or Brownfield migration strategy?
Greenfield strategy refers to the migration technique where you start from scratch, including data, operating systems, applications, and then move to the new infrastructure. In a Brownfield approach, many functions from previous application(s) are retained, particularly those that are hard to recreate, helping to limit business disruption. We will help you determine which approach you should aim for by leading you through a process that will help you decide which decisions are best for you to make.
