SAP S/4HANA Migration: Keys to a Successful Project

S/4HANA migration is no longer optional for most SAP organizations. Yet many projects go off track due to insufficient preparation on five key areas.

1. Scoping and governance

Executive sponsorship, clear scope and structured governance from day one are critical to program success.

2. Data preparation

Master data quality determines much of migration success. An upfront data audit is essential.

3. Change management

Users must be involved from the scoping phase, not only at project end.

4. Right migration scenario

Greenfield, brownfield or landscape transformation: the choice depends on your IT maturity and regulatory constraints.

5. Post go-live run budget

Support, enhancements and monitoring must be provisioned from the business case.
