What is SAP S/4HANA Greenfield Implementation?

It allows organisations to redesign processes, adopt SAP best practices, and take advantage of the latest innovations in cloud ERP, including Business AI, automation, and real-time analytics.

What is Greenfield vs Brownfield in SAP S/4HANA Implementation?

Greenfield Implementation: A new installation of SAP S/4HANA, where businesses design processes from scratch, implement standard SAP best practices, and migrate only relevant data. It's best suited for companies seeking modernisation and process optimisation.
Brownfield Implementation: A system conversion from an existing SAP ECC (or other ERP) to SAP S/4HANA. It preserves historical data, customisations, and configurations, making it ideal for organisations that want to protect past investments while upgrading to the new ERP system.

👉 In short, Greenfield = new start, while Brownfield = upgrade/conversion.
