Know Your SAP Migration Journey (ECC and S/4HANA to RISE with SAP)

Know Your SAP Migration Journey (ECC and S/4HANA to RISE with SAP)

It’s not uncommon to hear about businesses shifting their operation to digital.?

Websites have replaced the storefront.?

Cloud technology has replaced the need for any on-premise solutions.

SAP, a leader in enterprise application software, has always remained at the forefront. And with RISE with SAP, they had answered the solution for enterprises looking for cloud solutions. It's a game-changing system that integrates many services, tools, and frameworks to facilitate a smooth and efficient migration to the cloud.? It combines SAP's powerful S/4HANA suite with a host of cloud services, allowing businesses to transform their operations and stay adaptive in the digital age.

One of the critical decisions businesses face during this transformation is choosing the right migration approach.?

The two primary strategies are -

  • The Greenfield approach, which involves starting from scratch
  • The Brownfield approach, which leverages existing systems and processes.?

Each approach has its unique benefits and challenges, making it essential for organizations to evaluate their specific needs and goals carefully.?

The Greenfield approach establishes the new system from the ground up. It involves implementing a completely new SAP S/4HANA system, allowing you to redesign and streamline your processes without any legacy constraints. This approach is ideal if you want to take full advantage of modern best practices and innovative features offered by SAP S/4HANA.?

  • You start with a clean slate.?
  • You can completely rethink and optimize your business processes.?
  • You can avoid any complications of outdated systems and customizations.?
  • You can implement the latest industry standards and SAP best practices.

As we are realigning, it may require additional time and resources, given that the organization is transitioning to a brand-new platform.

The Brownfield approach, on the other hand, is like renovating an existing house. It involves upgrading your current system to SAP S/4HANA while retaining your existing processes and customizations. This approach is suitable if you want to minimize disruption and leverage your existing investments in SAP software.

  • This approach is typically less expensive and quicker than a full Greenfield implementation.
  • You can continue using your existing processes and customizations with minimal changes.
  • You can start realizing the benefits of SAP S/4HANA more quickly.

While this approach can save time, it's essential to thoroughly scrutinize both the Masters and Transaction data to mitigate the risk of retaining inefficiencies or redundancies.

Choosing between Greenfield and Brownfield depends on several factors, including your current system state, business goals, budget, and timeline. Connect with us at AIS to help you make that choice.
