Methods to Migrate

SAP S/4HANA migration approaches

Organizations that move their ERP to S/4HANA can complete their migration process by choosing any of the four methods: Greenfield, brownfield, RISE with SAP, and landscape transformation.
1. Greenfield Migration
If you are migrating from a legacy, non-SAP ERP system or an older version of SAP like ECC, you can implement a fresh start using the Greenfield approach. In some cases, greenfield deployment helps implement an organization’s very first ERP. This type of wholesale move is the best way to get all of S/4HANA’s advantages, such as predictive analytics, AI modeling, process automation, and real-time reporting.
2. Brownfield Migration
If you are currently using an older version of SAP and want to migrate to SAP S/4HANA while continuing to retain some legacy components, Brownfield migration is the best approach to opt for. Brownfield takes a gradual, cost-effective, less-disruptive, and risk-averse approach to using S/4HANA capabilities.
3. RISE with SAP
RISE with SAP is a subscription-based, single offering that bundles the top SAP assets to provide customers with Business-Transformation-as-a-Service. RISE with SAP can transition your current ERP data and processes to the cloud with less risk and without compromise. This approach enables you to quickly get up and running on S/4HANA Cloud and its broader ecosystem.
4. Landscape Transformation
Landscape transformation allows you to integrate various SAP ERP systems into a shared SAP S/4HANA system and migrate selective parts of your business process to S/4HANA. This approach simplifies and harmonizes your business processes. Unified master data lowers operational costs. If you have many SAP and non-SAP ERP systems and want to consolidate everything into one global SAP S/4HANA system, Landscape Transformation is the most suited approach.
