Key Benefits of SAP S/4HANA Brownfield Implementation
Simplified Data Migration
The core data structure from the existing system remains intact. This approach reduces the need for data cleansing and transformation, simplifies the migration process, and ensures data accuracy and continuity.
Rapid ROI
The existing assets, data, and customisations help facilitate a faster transition, which leads to immediate access to SAP S/4HANA’s advanced features, enhancing operational performance and productivity.
System Familiarity
Since the Brownfield approach builds on the existing ECC landscape, users are likely already familiar with it. This leads to better user adoption, higher user acceptance, and a decrease in the level of training needed.
Reduced Risk Migration
The Brownfield approach minimises implementation risks by drawing on the company’s existing knowledge of the legacy ECC system. This familiarity enables a more proactive approach to potential risks.
