Key challenges in your move to S/4HANA
SAP have committed to supporting ECC until 2027 under a standard support contract.
Consider starting your move to SAP S/4HANA sooner – or you might hit unexpected (and damaging) hurdles later.
We appreciate that migrating to S/4HANA is a big business decision and that you have concerns:
- The complexity of the migration
- The inherent risks involved
- The cost and effort required
At Delaware, we have completed over 120 S/4HANA assessments and migrations (and counting) so our step-by-step approach is proven to maximise the benefits to you whilst minimising (or eliminating) these potential pitfalls.
As your partner, we will work with you to plan and execute your business’s migration to S/4HANA, delivering you a platform that precisely meets your needs.
We offer three approaches
Greenfield
- Start in a new, clean, system
- Re-(new) design of business processes
- Initial data load
Bluefield
- Selective migration that includes partial load of historical data – (via partner SNP)
- Harmonisation and consolidation into an SAP system
- Potentially combined with system merger and/or drastic reorganisations
Brownfield
- Migrate the full system, with all historical data
- Merge of source system to target system
- Keep business processes wherever possible
- High reuse
