Executive Summary
Phasing out SAP ECC 6.0 with a new SAP Business Suite running on SAP S/4HANA Cloud is worth the investment, but it requires a shift…not just in technology adaptation.
It’s time enterprises entrenched comfortably with SAP legacy technology see the writing on the wall!
Every business that plans to be future-ready must consider migrating to SAP S/4HANA and taking advantage of its opportunities. The RISE with SAP is a perfect solution for migrating from legacy SAP ECC systems.
AG's RISE with SAP solution supports the initiative for integrating SAP S/4HANA and functionalities of the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). Of course, that requires deep analysis to understand the complexities of every business and the pace at which a business can sustain change.
If you are considering adopting RISE with an SAP solution to kickstart the system upgrading process, consult our SAP experts.
Here is the roadmap for how AG can help you manage your SAP S/4HANA transformation journey.

Why Upgrade from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA?
Real-Time Insights
SAP S/4HANA operates on SAP's high-speed in-memory database (HANA), which allows for real-time data processing and advanced analytics. This enables businesses to make quicker, data-driven decisions and respond to market changes instantly.
Simplified Processes
SAP S/4HANA introduces a streamlined data model and a modern, user-friendly interface powered by SAP Fiori. This simplification reduces complexities, shortens process times, and enhances end-user productivity.
Enhanced Automation
SAP S/4HANA integrates AI and machine learning to automate routine tasks and optimise business processes. This allows employees to focus on strategic initiatives instead of repetitive tasks.
Flexibility with Cloud
Unlike SAP ECC, which is typically deployed on-premise, SAP S/4HANA offers cloud and hybrid deployment options. This flexibility allows businesses to choose a model that aligns with their business strategy and scalability needs.
AG’s Strategic Approach to SAP S/4HANA Migration
Guiding through the planning phase
- Decide whether to build a new SAP S/4HANA system or migrate their individual business units sequentially from legacy SAP ERP application to the new system as “a phased rollout”.
- Use the new capabilities of SAP products and plan to evolve through an innovative process.
Deploying a team for new SAP Business suite integration
- Constitute a team to analyse, configure, and implement the required changes.
- Devote time and manpower to identifying the specific requirements of business processes.
- Become thorough with what needs to be carried forward to adapt to new functionalities for a realistic estimate of upgrade costs.
Mapping existing system data and processes to a new setup
- Select cautiously what you perceive as important for the road ahead.
- Customise data and processes to your new SAP S/4HANA® system with SAP S/4HANA® Selective Data Transition.
Calculating the ERP ROI
- Evaluate system performance against all expectations and expansions beyond initial purchase.
- Consider the cost and the benefits to be incurred over a time frame.
Providing support through the implementation phase
- Upgrade with a SAP NetWeaver® technology platform and database migration, apart from redesigning functionality for change management.
- Upgrade with a single-step conversion for enterprises that have stayed up to date with enhanced functionalities through SAP Enhancement Packages (EhP), epecially EhP8.
