Transition paths to SAP S/4HANAThree different approaches to move to SAP S/4HANA

https://blogs.sap.com/2017/07/06/how-to-find-my-path-to-sap-s4hana-understand-the-available-transition-options/


More than One step?

A company has no restrictions to move to SAP S/4HANA on-premise in a one-step procedure.

A company has business processes that already fit to the current requirements and long-term strategy.

New Implementation System Conversion


Take Over Custom Code?

Historical and Transactional Data?

A company has checked and is able to take over existing custom code.

A company wants to go live rather fast and adopt innovations at your speed at a later point of time and in a phased approach .

Best Practices Adoption?

Existing Business Processes Fit?

Convert First, Innovate Next?


A company seeks to fundamentally redesign its business processes, adopting the Best Practices.


A company wants to keep historical and transactional data reducing the effort to bring them to SAP S/4HANA.
