Cloud readiness assessment

Large moves fail when hidden dependencies surface late. We map processes, integrations, and custom code. After we run process discovery, inventory interfaces, and assess data quality, we recommend a Public or Private cloud and produce a phased migration plan with risk controls and measurable checkpoints.

TCO and license optimization

Unclear license choices increase costs after go-live. We analyze existing licensing, forecast cloud consumption, and model TCO scenarios. We propose the RISE package and third-party contracts that reduce total cost and that align spend to operating-cycle milestones.

Integration & landscape rationalization

Fragmented landscapes break after a platform shift. We inventory interfaces, retire redundant connections, and retool remaining integrations for reliable messaging. We then deliver an integration map, standardized middleware patterns, and regression tests.

BTP & clean core architecture

Extensions that live inside the core complicate future updates. After designing an external extension architecture on SAP BTP, we migrate custom logic and interfaces to BTP services, define APIs, and document a clear separation, so the S/4HANA core remains upgradeable.

Accelerated S/4HANA migration (Brownfield / Bluefield / Greenfield)

Downtime and data loss are primary business fears. We select the SAP S/4HANA migration path that matches your landscape and prepare conversion scripts, test data slices, and run near-zero downtime cutovers where possible. We validate business processes before and after each cutover.

Data migration & quality assurance

Bad data multiplies post-migration work. Once we profile source data, define transformation rules, and automate cleansing, we run test extracts and reconciliation reports to ensure transactional parity and auditability after conversion.

BTP development and AI integration

Innovation must not compromise stability. We build external applications on SAP BTP and integrate vetted AI features, such as SAP Business AI, where they produce measurable outcomes. In addition, we deliver secure deployment pipelines, performance tests, and governance controls for AI models.

Change management and training

Users resist change when training is late or generic. After mapping role-specific process changes and producing task-based training, we run hands-on workshops, create job-aid libraries, and measure adoption through targeted KPIs.

Support and update management (AMS)

Quarterly SAP updates introduce risk without structured management. We offer post-go-live system management, scheduled update validation, and a controlled deployment pipeline. We also handle incident triage, patching, and continuous performance monitoring.

This approach is a technical conversion of your existing SAP system. It preserves your current business processes and customizations. The primary objective is platform modernization with minimal process disruption.

Best for organizations requiring a faster technical upgrade to S/4HANA.

When to choose:

Your core business processes are effective and do not require significant redesign.
You have a highly customized system that is too complex or costly to reimplement.
The strategic goal is to move to the new database and platform with the shortest project timeline.

The Brownfield path

Bluefield is a balanced transformation that implements a new, clean S/4HANA system, allowing you to redesign and standardize key processes. You then migrate only relevant historical data. This method discards technical debt while preserving essential business history.

Best for organizations seeking a controlled transformation.

When to choose:

You need to standardize and optimize specific business areas (like finance or logistics), but retain historical data.
You want to eliminate obsolete custom code and data from legacy modules.
Your goal is a "clean core" foundation without starting completely from scratch. This is our most frequently recommended approach for achieving a modern system state.

The Bluefield path

This is a new implementation. You build your S/4HANA Cloud system using SAP's latest standards and best practices. There is no migration of old configurations or business logic. Historical data is typically archived for reporting.

Best for organizations pursuing radical process innovation.

When to choose:

Your current processes are outdated, or you are launching a new business unit.
You want to fully adopt SAP's standard cloud model and Fiori user experience.
The strategic priority is maximum agility and innovation, not replicating the past.

The Greenfield path

A successful RISE with SAP journey begins with well-defined business objectives. We use Design Thinking workshops to understand your real needs and turn them into a concrete, actionable plan for S/4HANA Cloud. The format helps teams align on priorities, validate ideas early, and avoid building complexity that the cloud does not support.

Workshop format:

Duration: 1-2 days (available online or in person).
Team: Includes multidisciplinary specialists (business analyst, SAP consultant, UX designer, and technical expert).
Focus: Mapping current business operations and specifying the future capabilities required from your S/4HANA Cloud environment.

Key results for RISE:

Clean Core foundation. Teams identify unnecessary custom logic before the project begins. This reduces cost, lowers risk, and ensures your future system follows clean and supportable S/4HANA Cloud architecture.
Process modeling clarity. You define precise functional requirements that are supported by visual process models. This gives your migration or new implementation a stable blueprint and prevents scope expansion later.
A reliable transformation roadmap. This concludes with a documented plan that outlines priorities, dependencies, and limitations. You gain a transparent, step-by-step guide for advancing your RISE with SAP initiative with confidence.

Current landscape analysis: Review processes, integrations, custom code, and data quality.
Risk and compliance check: Identify dependencies, bottlenecks, and regulatory requirements.
Migration plan: Define cloud readiness, timelines, milestones, and risk mitigation measures.

Discover & Prepare

Process alignment: Map gaps between existing workflows and standard SAP functionality.
Clean Core setup: Identify extensions to move to BTP or retire, preserving S/4HANA core stability.
Integration and data planning: Rationalize interfaces and define data migration approach.

Explore & Plan

Migration execution: Follow Brownfield, Bluefield, or Fit-to-Standard path based on landscape.
Data and interface adaptation: Transform data, adjust integrations, and test custom code.
Near-zero downtime go-live: Minimize business disruption with controlled cutover and verification.

Move & Deploy

Managed Services: Handle updates, incident resolution, performance monitoring, and system tuning.
Team enablement: Deliver role-based training and documentation for process adoption.
Controlled innovation: Deploy BTP and AI features to improve operational outcomes securely.

Run & Innovate

Ongoing collaboration: Adjust processes, integrations, and extensions based on business needs.
SAP updates adoption: Apply new capabilities while preserving system stability.
Business value focus: Ensure every change produces measurable operational improvements.

“A great partner that goes the extra mile to accommodate the customer/company”

A great partner that goes the extra mile to accommodate the customer/company. They can accomplish what is needed to move their business forward. No question is too much for LeverX. They’ve been a great resource for any area of SAP. What I like about LeverX is that I don’t think there is any question that is too much for them. We bounced a lot of things off them that might not appear in their wheelhouse, but a lot of times they have answers just because of their experience and knowledge. We found them to be a great resource to bounce things off and get ideas even if they might not be specific to PLM. When you are out of time and have limited resources, LeverX has your solution. LeverX is a big bang for your buck that will bring in a lot of knowledge at one time to check off all the boxes.

FAQ

How long does a RISE with SAP migration project take?

The duration varies depending on the chosen path and the complexity of the landscape (integrations, data volume, and amount of custom code).

Typical timelines: Brownfield and Bluefield projects usually take between 9 and 18 months.

Factors affecting the timeline: The higher the degree of landscape rationalization and data cleansing before the migration, the faster and smoother the transition will be.

How do you prevent business disruption during a RISE migration from SAP ECC?

We stage the transition. Our approach uses comprehensive Mock Cutovers and User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Critical processes like order management are validated in the new environment before the final switch. The goal is near-zero downtime, not total system blackout.

How does a RISE migration to Private Cloud differ technically from Public Cloud?

The migration mechanics for standard configuration data are similar, but the main differences are in custom code and data handling.

Private Cloud: Custom ABAP code can remain in the ERP kernel with minimal adjustments. Data migration can use direct conversion or staging tables, similar to on-premises.

Public Cloud (SaaS): Traditional ABAP modifications generally cannot be migrated; custom functionality must be re-implemented as cloud-compatible extensions on SAP BTP. Data migration follows standardized tools and templates designed for multi-tenant environments.

Impact: These differences affect project design, as Public Cloud requires re-architecting customizations and stricter migration planning, while Private Cloud allows more continuity from on-premises systems.

What are the most common hidden costs in a RISE migration project?

Costs emerge from data remediation, integration refactoring, and post-go-live stabilization. Unclean legacy data requires extensive cleansing. Custom integrations often need complete rebuilding for cloud APIs. The first 90 days after launch typically demand intensive support beyond standard project scope.
