SAP S/4HANA Assessment Framework
The SAP S/4HANA assessment framework provides a structured approach for organizations to evaluate their readiness for migration, identify areas for improvement, and develop an SAP S/4HANA roadmap for successful implementation.
Recently Phoenix Business Consulting has been creating SAP S/4HANA Assessments for dozens of clients to help them navigate through the decision-making process of whether they should move to new products and planning for an SAP S/4HANA migration utilizing best practices.
- System Requirements: Before starting the SAP S/4HANA migration process, make sure your hardware and infrastructure meet the minimum requirements for S/4HANA. Also, ensure that all necessary prerequisites are met, including the upgrade of any add-ons or custom developments.
- Migration Approach: There are two main approaches for migration to S/4HANA, Greenfield and Brownfield. The Greenfield approach involves a new implementation, where a new instance of SAP S/4HANA is created from scratch. The Brownfield approach involves the conversion of an existing ECC system to S/4HANA. You can choose the approach that best suits your organization’s needs.
- Assess your system landscape: Before you start the migration process, it is important to assess your existing system landscape and identify any customizations or third-party add-ons that may need to be migrated or replaced. This will help you to plan your SAP S/4HANA migration strategy and ensure that your new system meets your organization’s needs.
- Plan your data migration: One of the biggest challenges in any cloud migration is ensuring that your data is accurately and completely transferred to the new system. It’s important to plan your data migration carefully, identifying which data to migrate and how to map it to the new system. You should also consider any data quality issues and plan for data cleansing and validation as part of the migration process.
- Prepare your team: A successful SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA Cloud migration requires a strong team with the right skills and experience. Make sure that your team members are trained on the new system and understand the migration process. You should also consider bringing in external SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA Cloud consultants or partners like Phoenix Business Consulting to provide additional expertise and support.
- Test and validate: Before you go live with your new system, it’s essential to test and validate it thoroughly. This includes testing both the functional and technical aspects of the system, as well as ensuring user acceptance testing (UAT).
