Yes, SAP S/4HANA is a cutting-edge ERP that offers significant benefits, including real-time data processing, improved analytics, enhanced UX, and scalability. However, these advantages mean little without the confidence in a smooth migration process.
From data loss and disrupted workflows to unacceptable downtimes and performance issues, many things can go wrong in a large-scale S/4HANA migration. Our job is to guide you every step of the way to ensure a successful transition.

In a greenfield approach, the migration involves a completely new implementation. Starting with a fresh SAP S/4HANA system from scratch allows you to:
However, opting for a greenfield approach can also require re-implementing customizations and custom code, migrating data, and re-training users. This can demand more effort and resources.
The brownfield migration, also known as system conversion, involves transitioning data, configurations, and customizations from the legacy system to a new one. Some of the advantages include:
The downside is that you may carry over legacy inefficiencies and outdated data, which can hinder your ability to optimize, innovate, and advance.
Depending on your business case and the extent of custom modifications and code, a hybrid approach may provide the benefits of both greenfield and brownfield methods:
A hybrid approach offers flexibility in deciding which modules and data are migrated, and in what order. This allows you to prioritize business-critical areas, minimize the impact on the organization, and ensure future extensibility and upgrades.
Before beginning the migration process, it’s crucial to thoroughly assess your current ERP landscape. Our experts will collaborate with you to analyze your business goals, operations, dependencies, and modifications. This assessment will help us craft a migration strategy tailored to your organization’s specific needs.
Before a conversion or migration can begin, your ECC system must meet the essential requirements for transitioning to S/4HANA. This includes applying necessary support packages and upgrades, as well as resolving any technical issues. Our team will assist in ensuring that the migration process is seamless.
Data migration is a crucial component of most migration projects. Our team will handle the extraction, transformation, normalization, and loading of data into your new S/4HANA system. We will discard irrelevant data and efficiently archive important legacy information for future reference. Additionally, we will conduct thorough testing and validation to ensure that no critical data is lost or inadvertently altered during the process.
Custom ABAP code in your current system must be evaluated for compatibility with S/4HANA. Business-critical code can be enhanced or adjusted to meet S/4HANA requirements, while technical debt and legacy code can be discarded to expedite the migration. Our QA staff will conduct thorough testing to ensure that all custom code functions correctly after the transition.
We understand that user adoption is a critical success factor. Cloudmantra experts can provide user training initiatives and comprehensive documentation to streamline the transition process and enhance user engagement and adoption.
Once your new S/4HANA system is live, our job is not necessarily done. In addition to addressing any outstanding issues, Cloudmantra experts can monitor the system's performance, gather end-user feedback, and provide on-demand professional services related to S/4HANA to further support your business.
