SAP S/4HANA is a cutting-edge ERP that brings significant benefits in terms of real-time data processing, improved analytics, better UX, and scalability. But that doesn’t matter, if you don't have the confidence that the migration will be smooth.

From losing data and workflows, to unacceptable downtimes, to performance issues — lots of things can go wrong during a large-scale S/4HANA migration. It's our job to guide you every step of the way to a successful transition.

Expensive support, custom patches, and outdated hardware.

Migration to SAP S/4HANA lowers IT costs thanks to cloud deployment and automation.

Growth is slow due to rigid systems

SAP S/4HANA’s modular design scales with your business.

Poor visibility and disconnected processes

With SAP S/4HANA, you can leverage real-time, unified data for better decision-making.

Manual processes and inefficiencies

Automation functionalities of SAP S/4HANA streamline workflows and boost productivity.

Outdated protection and compliance gaps

SAP S/4HANA offers enterprise-grade security and automatic updates.

Can’t integrate with modern tech

Migration to SAP S/4HANA makes your system ready for AI, IoT, cloud, and other innovative technologies.

Clunky interfaces slow employees down

SAP Fiori’s modern UI improves efficiency.

Frequent downtime disrupts business

The migration to SAP S/4HANA ensures reliable performance with minimal disruptions.

Stuck in outdated processes

SAP S/4HANA is a future-ready solution that brings innovations into your business processes and helps you grow.

System conversion

In a greenfield approach, the migration basically means a new implementation. Starting with a fresh SAP S/4HANA system from scratch 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 re-train users. All of which can mean more effort and resources.

New implementation

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 downside is, you may be carrying over a lot of legacy inefficiencies and outdated data, hampering your ability to optimize, innovate, and move forward.

Selective data transition

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:

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.

Support you can count on

We don’t just migrate and leave. Our team is with you every step of the way — before, during, and after the transition — so everything runs smoothly.

Easy for your team to use

A new system should make work easier, not harder. With SAP Fiori’s user-friendly design and our training support, your employees can adapt quickly and work more efficiently.

Ongoing optimization for long-term success

Migration isn’t the finish line — it’s just the beginning. We help you continuously fine-tune and optimize your system, so your business keeps running at peak performance.

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 made — to 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 ultimate data management platform developed by LeverX.

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' 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.
