However, the negative point is that the SAP ERP ECC version does not have the latest intelligent technologies. In order to remain competitive, it is time to switch to the modern SAP S4\/HANA version. In this article, we will look at how a transition to SAP S4\/HANA is structured<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Migrating data and processes to SAP S4\/HANA is easier said than done. After all, it is not just another IT project, but rather a fundamental system change. Therefore, the implementation of such a transition comes with several challenges. In addition, each company will have to decide when to move to the new S4\/HANA version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABAP code to be adapted, processes to be harmonised, functionalities that become obsolete, others appear, user training to be provided, so many activities that will have to be carried out by the different actors of the project.

Transition to SAP S4\/HANA: migration approaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the resources available, the business model, the processes already in place, the ERP used, different migration approaches can be adopted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
