Whether you’re creating a new SAP S/4HANA environment, upgrading existing systems, moving to a cloud-based SAP solution, grouping data from various source systems, or reorganizing it, you need a harmonized SAP data migration strategy. It doesn’t mean just transferring data to a new system; it also involves cleansing and transforming data, as well as aligning it with business requirements and a new system setup. All these factors make the data migration process in SAP one of the most challenging and risky stages of the whole transition or upgrade process.

At LeverX, we provide a full cycle of migration services for ECC to S/4HANA, RISE with SAP, and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). Our experts work with various data sources, encompassing SAP and non-SAP environments, Excel files, Salesforce, Oracle, and legacy systems.

Our Expertise in SAP Data Migration

Migration planning and strategy

Before initiating the migration, we define the project scope, evaluate data readiness, establish data mapping logic, and develop a transparent migration roadmap, considering possible risks.

Data profiling and cleansing

Our specialists validate the data targeted for migration, remove duplicates, standardize datasets, and define transformation logic to ensure data consistency, quality, and migration readiness.

Data extraction, transformation, and load (ETL)

To align your data with SAP structures, we securely extract it from all source systems, transform the data with migration tools, and validate and reconcile it to load into target SAP environments.

Migration from legacy systems to SAP S/4HANA

Whether we choose the Brownfield, Greenfield, or Bluefield approach to SAP S/4HANA migration, LeverX provides end-to-end support for a comprehensive and productive transformation.

Migration to RISE with SAP/SAP BTP

If you decide to move to the cloud, we assess your system readiness, align your data with the cloud landscape, and ensure full compliance with SAP’s standards for cloud architecture.

Test loads and go-live support

Our team performs dry runs, mock loads, cutover planning, and post-migration validation to ensure a migration works correctly before going into production.

Non-SAP system migrations

To ensure all valuable data is utilized, our professionals handle data migrations from Excel, Oracle, Salesforce, legacy databases, and other third-party sources, while ensuring compatibility with the SAP environment.

High-efficiency migration automation

We apply SAP and proprietary tools to eliminate errors, automate SAP data migration steps, and ensure timely project delivery.

Post-migration validation and optimization

At LeverX, we ensure stability in your new SAP environment. We verify data accuracy, optimize performance, and execute post-migration clean-up.

At LeverX, we created DataLark, a unique data management solution, to facilitate your data migrations to new SAP environments. DataLark helps validate, transform, and migrate data, automate ETL, and accelerate data migration and transformation. The platform can be used for on-premise, cloud, or hybrid deployment. Its intuitive drag-and-drop interface and low-code or no-code workflows ensure streamlined and transparent migrations.

Our SAP Data Migration Roadmap

We follow the full cycle of SAP data migration, which breaks down implementation projects into six essential stages. Throughout the process, we use a proprietary solution, DataLark, to ensure a smooth and error‑free migration process to your new SAP environment.

Defining objectives and scope: Specify the data to migrate (e.g., master data, open transactional data, optional archiving of historic data); set project goals (compliance, performance, reporting continuity, etc.)
Involving stakeholders and SMEs: Choose experts across departments to define data definitions, meaning, and business rules, which will prevent misalignment or incomplete mapping.
Defining governance and quality standards: Establish acceptable data quality levels, ownership, cleansing guidelines, reconciliation rules, and compliance.
Forming the basis: Catalog data sources, volumes, and formats; evaluate data quality issues.

Plan

Data cleansing and profiling: Detect duplicates, invalid entries, inconsistencies; standardize data formats.
Establish data mapping and transformation logic: Specify how each source field maps to the SAP target instance, including one-to-one copies, default values, conditional logic, cross-reference lookups, and data enrichment.
Planning for delta data: Define how to handle new transactional or master data created during the project, including setting cut-off points, scheduling extraction windows, and capturing incremental records before go-live.

Prepare

Mock loading: Load transformed and cleansed test data into a non-production environment.
Validating: Run validations such as mandatory field checks, correct formats, and configuration existence; identify and flag invalid records for remediation.
Reviewing and remediation: Business users review and correct or annotate invalid records.

Explore

Iterative mock loading: Repeat the ETL cycle to refine mappings, transformations, and fix logic based on validation feedback.
Data reconciliation and reporting: Compare source, transformed, and loaded SAP data to identify discrepancies and inconsistencies and ensure audit readiness.
Checking integrations: Verify downstream and upstream interfaces; ensure migrated data flows properly to external systems like CRM or warehouse modules.

Realize

Final extraction and cutover execution: Freeze legacy inputs, extract final delta data, transform, and load into SAP using DataLark.
Post-load validation: Validate live data load via reconciliation, functional testing, and user acceptance testing.
Documenting: Log transformation rules, validation results, exceptions, and remediation steps for governance and compliance.

Deploy

Data readiness check: Assure data integrity, completeness, and performance in the production SAP environment.
Ongoing monitoring: Implement continuous validation and audit mechanisms and automated checks to detect issues early.
User training: Inform users about data modeling, what has been migrated, ongoing migration governance, and future delta loads if scheduled.
Post-migration support: Monitor data integrity, address any issues that arise after go-live, and provide continuous support to ensure smooth business operations.

FAQ

What’s the difference between Greenfield, Brownfield, and Bluefield data migration approaches?

If you need an SAP S/4HANA system from scratch, it will be a Greenfield migration, where you transfer data from legacy and third-party systems.

If you want to upgrade your existing system while migrating customizations, configurations, and historical data, the Brownfield approach will be used.

Bluefield migration, in turn, combines the Greenfield and Brownfield approaches. It’s used to selectively migrate data, configurations, and customizations, which is essential when you want to optimize and modernize parts of your system without a complete rebuild.

Can you help assess data readiness before migration?

Yes. We conduct a detailed data readiness assessment early in the project, which includes profiling source systems, validating key fields, and checking dependencies to reduce risk and ensure a smooth transition into SAP. We use tools like DataLark and SAP Information Steward to support this process.

How do you ensure data quality after migration?

After the migration, we apply automated tools, such as DataLark and SAP Information Steward, to ensure the accuracy and completeness of your data.

What happens to legacy data that isn’t migrated?

If we don't move legacy data to the new SAP environment, it can be archived or stored in external systems for audit and reporting purposes. We help define retention strategies that ensure regulatory compliance while minimizing system load.
