100% of SAP’s core innovations and features are developed for S/4HANA

SAP no longer releases functional updates for ECC. All new automation, AI models, and predictive tools are built for S/4HANA, which keeps the system aligned with SAP’s product roadmap.

Up to 30% gains in operational efficiency

Companies reduce cycle times by replacing manual steps and custom scripts with S/4HANA’s standardized processes. Teams spend less time on reconciliations and rework.

A single source of truth instead of scattered datasets

S/4HANA keeps operational and financial data in one in-memory environment. Reporting becomes consistent. Planning becomes faster. Compliance checks become simpler.

Lower long-term ownership costs

Cloud deployment removes hardware upgrades and custom patching. Standard system components cut the number of support tasks that teams need to perform.

Integration that matches current IT requirements

S/4HANA offers APIs, event-based processing, and native links to SAP BTP services. This reduces integration effort and creates a cleaner foundation for new applications.

Security aligned with current regulations

Automatic security updates and role-based controls reduce the exposure caused by outdated ECC components. Audit features support internal and external compliance checks.

A user interface built around real roles

SAP Fiori gives employees task-based screens. Navigation becomes faster. Training needs to drop, especially for operational teams.

Stable performance during high-load operations

In-memory processing reduces bottlenecks. Financial close, planning cycles, and large transactional workloads run with fewer delays.

New implementation (Greenfield)

In this approach, the migration basically means a new implementation. You start with a fresh SAP S/4HANA system from scratch. This enables you to:

Easily rethink and standardize your business processes
Eliminate technical debt or leave inefficient legacy workflows behind
Readily adopt SAP S/4HANA best practices

However, going greenfield can also mean having to re-implement customizations and custom code, migrate data, and retrain users. All of which can mean more effort and resources.

System conversion (Brownfield)

The brownfield migration is also known as system conversion. Data, configurations, and customizations are transitioned from the legacy system to a new one. Some of the advantages include:

Minimal disruption of operations
Faster and less resource-intensive migration process
Retention of all historical data and context

The key risk is migrating old inefficiencies and outdated data into the new system. This can hamper your ability to optimize, innovate, and move forward.

Selective data transition (Bluefield)

Depending on your business case and the amount of custom modifications and code, a hybrid approach may offer the advantages of both green- and brownfield worlds. Using this approach, you will:

Retain only critical data, modules, and code
Decommission legacy data while optionally archiving it for legal purposes
Safely enhance your SAP S/4HANA system while paving the way to innovation

A hybrid approach can be very flexible in terms of which modules and data are migrated, when, and in what order. This allows you to prioritize business-critical areas, reduce the impact on the organization, and ensure future extensibility and upgrades.

SAP S/4HANA on-premises

This model gives companies full control over infrastructure, upgrade timing, and system extensions. It keeps all components inside the organization’s security perimeter.

Best fit: enterprises with strict regulatory requirements, specialized manufacturing processes, or integration landscapes that rely on low-latency internal networks.

S/4HANA Cloud, Private edition (RISE with SAP)

The private edition keeps the full S/4HANA feature set, but shifts the technical stack to SAP’s managed cloud. SAP handles operations, upgrades, and infrastructure. Customers keep flexibility in configuration and industry-specific processes.

Private edition is a core component of the RISE with SAP subscription.

Best fit: companies that want a cloud operating model without losing control over process design, custom code, or system extensions.

S/4HANA Cloud, Public edition (RISE/GROW with SAP)

Public edition runs on a standardized S/4HANA stack managed entirely by SAP. It uses predefined processes and rapid deployment tools with continuous updates.

Public edition is available through both RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP (depending on the commercial package).

Best fit: organizations that want lower ownership costs, fast rollout, and standardized processes that do not require heavy customization.

Evaluation and planning

Prior to starting the migration process, it's crucial to thoroughly assess your current ERP landscape. Our experts will work with you to analyze your current business goals, operations, dependencies, and modifications. They will craft a migration strategy optimized to your organization's requirements.

System preparation

Before a conversion and/or migration can begin, your ECC system needs to meet the essential requirements for transitioning to S/4HANA. From applying the necessary support packages and upgrades to resolving any technical requirements, our team will help ensure the migration is seamless.

Data migration

Data migration is a pivotal part of most migration projects. Our team will extract, transform, and/or normalize, and load the data into your new S/4HANA system. Irrelevant data can be discarded, while important legacy information can be efficiently archived for later reference. We will also thoroughly test and validate the system to ensure no critical data fell through the cracks or was inadvertently altered in the process.

To migrate and integrate business-critical data more quickly, securely, and cost-effectively, we use DataLark. The platform helps businesses streamline data migration, data maintenance, data quality, and integration processes.

datalark

You can automate all ETL operations and orchestrate data across all your systems with DataLark's customizable plugins and vast network of connectors to drive better business decisions. You can easily simplify the following processes with DataLark’s drag-and-drop interface and pipeline logic creation via low-code/no-code techniques:

Data migration, integration, transformation, and validation from SAP and non-SAP sources
SAP S/4HANA (private or public) data migration from legacy systems
WMS, MES, E-commerce, HR, and other system roll-outs
Data import from files, DBMS, applications, cloud services, and message queues
On-premises, cloud, or hybrid SAP deployment

Custom code adjustments

Custom ABAP code within your current system needs to be evaluated to make sure it's compatible with S/4HANA. Business-critical code can be enhanced or adjusted to align with S/4HANA requirements, while technical debt and legacy code can be discarded to speed up the migration. Our QA staff will perform meticulous testing to ensure all custom code works post-transition.

User training

We understand user adoption is an important success factor. LeverX experts can offer both user training initiatives and comprehensive documentation to streamline the transition process and boost user adoption and engagement.

Post-migration support

Once your new S/4HANA system successfully goes live, our job is not necessarily done. Besides tackling any outstanding issues, LeverX's experts can monitor the system's performance, collect end-user feedback, and offer professional on-demand services around S/4HANA to further help your business.

Keep running while moving

Systems change, but your operations don’t have to. Teams keep working during migration.

Cut costs, not corners

Migration can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. We remove unnecessary work and focus on value.

Effortless security

Old systems create gaps. S/4HANA gives enterprise-grade security and built-in compliance checks.

Ready for what comes next

AI, automation, and cloud services are coming. S/4HANA gives you a platform that can scale with them.

Start delivering sooner

Long migrations delay growth. Our approach gets your system to go-live faster, so benefits arrive sooner.

A plan that fits

No two companies are the same. We design a migration path that matches your processes, priorities, and timeline.

Partners at every step

We don’t leave after go-live. We support your team before, during, and after the transition.

Simple for your team

Complex systems shouldn’t slow people down. SAP Fiori and targeted training help employees adapt quickly.

Optimized for the long run

Migration is a start, not a finish. We help you refine processes and maintain peak performance over time.

“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 fast can a migration actually move?

Migration speed depends on your system complexity and business priorities. Typical Greenfield implementations usually take several months, while Brownfield conversions are generally faster. LeverX structures projects in staged phases to reduce risk. With DataLark’s pre-configured mapping templates, data migration steps can be shortened by several weeks. Operations continue while the system is upgraded.

How quickly will I see results after moving to S/4HANA?

You will realize benefits as soon as your teams start using the system effectively. Manual tasks are reduced, freeing staff for more valuable work. Reporting becomes faster and more accurate. Decisions rely on real-time, unified data rather than scattered spreadsheets.

What if my legacy system is highly customized?

We assess all custom code, extensions, and integrations in detail. LeverX uses SAP Readiness Check and custom code analyzers to categorize objects. Essential logic is moved to SAP BTP as side-by-side extensions, following the Clean Core principle. Redundant or outdated code is removed. Workflows are aligned with S/4HANA standards to retain critical functionality while simplifying future upgrades.

How do you keep the business running during migration?

Downtime is minimized through careful planning and phased migration. Data validations are automated with DataLark before cutover. LeverX applies the Near Zero Downtime (NZDT) technique, which allows system updates while users continue working in the legacy environment. Timing is coordinated around business-critical operations to ensure continuity.
