SAP S/4HANA Migration

With SAP support for ECC ending in 2027, S/4HANA cannot be ignored. It’s the biggest decision facing SAP customers – a complete contractual and technical transformation that can take years, so waiting isn’t an option.

It’s essential that your organization has a plan in place for S/4HANA. We can help make the process easier.

SAP S/4HANA migration specialists

S/4HANA represents SAP's advanced application suite for the future. It serves as an enhanced and updated version of the traditional ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) business suite.

As well as a full technical reconfiguration there are also major changes in licensing, as SAP consider S/4HANA to be a completely different product and not a legal successor to ERP.

This presents a valuable opportunity for your organization. Our consultants can assist you in efficiently migrating your licenses, enabling you to leverage previous investments for new ventures in a commercially beneficial manner.

In addition, we can help you answer many of your pressing questions:
- What are the implications of migrating to S/4HANA cloud?
- How can you transform your contract into S/4HANA?
- How can you identify historical T&Cs that need to be brought over to S/4HANA?
- What are the implications of the new S/4HANA contractual T&Cs?
- How much will S/4HANA cost your organization?
- When should you perform the contractual migration?

S/4HANA Preparation

Preparation is key to successful S/4HANA migration.

We’ll determine your Effective License Position (ELP) by looking at your current licenses and contracts.

Following that, we’ll dive into your planned roadmap – is it S/4HANA, S/4HANA cloud, or moving onto alternative software?

By predicting your usage over the next 3-5 years, we can identify the most commercially advantageous time for you to migrate. Following this, we’ll prepare your license model, translating it from ERP to S/4HANA. This will give you an indication of how much the contract will cost, timings et cetera.

RISE with SAP

RISE with SAP is a programme offered by SAP which is designed to help customers migrate from ERP to S/4HANA cloud.

This is useful for some organizations, and less so for others. We’ll help you identify whether or not RISE is the right approach for you, or whether you should handle your migration independently.

If you’ve received a RISE offer and don’t know whether it’s any good, talk to our team – we’re here to advise and get you the best deal possible.

Third-Party Support

You may have been considering terminating your support agreement with SAP and moving it over to a third party provider.

Many such providers claim that they can produce 50% cost savings over SAP’s support. We recommend that you carefully weigh up your options. We’ll identify whether third-party support is an appropriate solution, and will outline the implications of switching.

Consider how SAP will react if you withdraw your support contract from them. We will help you communicate this message to SAP, providing guidance on how to negotiate with SAP about support.

Before you switch, we can help you to organize your SAP landscape so that there’s no unexpected consequences.
