SAP S/4HANA migration: a step-by-step approach, at your pace
SAP’s next-generation business suite, SAP S/4HANA is much more than an IT tool. It has the potential to transform your organization’s entire business strategy. It enables real-time data-driven decision-making and unlocks the power of breakthroughs such as AI, machine-learning and IoT. Thanks to SAP HANA in-memory data technology, SAP S/4HANA offers unparalleled data processing and visualization capabilities.
Hesitating about making the move? Good news: you can migrate at your pace, and select the best approach for your business. Our experienced team is standing by to help.
Why move now?
SAP will no longer support its existing ERP business suite in 2027 – requiring users to move to the HANA in-memory platform. While migrating to SAP S/4HANA is inevitable for SAP customers, the potential costs, complexity and duration of a migration project may be daunting.
When it comes to the approach and pace of your migration, your business has options. Replatforming today – rather than at the last minute – offers even greater flexibility.
Reap the benefits of SAP S/4HANA
Even better, you’ll be able to harness all the advantages of a proven next-generation ERP system before your competitors do. Count on:
- gaining real-time business insights, for informed decision-making, optimized processes and better services.
- working in a faster, more agile way thanks to SAP S/4HANA’s simplified data model and the exceptionally intuitive SAP Fiori user experience.
- accelerating innovation, as the central HANA core combines traditional ERP with CRM, EWM, transportation management and more, and easily connects with ground-breaking cloud applications such as SAP CX, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Concur, SAP Fieldglass and SAP Ariba.
- harnessing the latest technologies, such as IoT, big data, blockchain, machine learning and beyond.
- simplifying and streamlining your combined move to the cloud (if using an on-premise platform).
Note that an increasing number of new SAP applications will only be available on SAP S/4HANA.
