SAP ECC to S/4HANA Migration

SAP S/4HANA, one of the most preferred ERP platforms has immense potential in transforming your business into an intelligent enterprise. It drives accentuated, automated, and streamlined operations. S/4HANA drives innovation for strategic growth by integrating with modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Generative AI, Predictive Analytics, and many more.

The support for SAP ECC is being sunset by the end of 2027, making it imperative for users to migrate to S/4HANA, well before the mainstream support ends. 

Here's why you need to make the move now

Support, Patches and Updates

You will not get any official updates from SAP, which makes adding new features or troubleshooting complicated. There comes a need for depending on third-party service providers for maintenance of your ECC environment, which is unreliable, not officially endorsed, and comes with cost and quality implications. This makes migration to S/4HANA a better viable and stable option.

No Stop-Gap Approach

Our vast experience in ERP migrations strongly indicates that continuing to run on ECC with a plan of a stop-gap intervention whenever needed will be a major challenge that can be best avoided by a seamless migration to S/4HANA. This is what many of your competitors have already started on, and you need to have an essential standing in the competitive race.

Time for Innovation

The sooner you start a migration exercise well before the end of the support timeline, the more you have the advantage of optimizing your processes, making room for selective automation wherever needed, and having time to have a comprehensive change management process in place.

Generative AI

Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) is another innovative feature of SAP S/4HANA that simplifies user interaction with the system, with Natural Language Processing (NLP) capabilities that generate the output based on user prompts in natural language by using the SAP Copilot Joule.

Competitive Requirements

You get the advantage of having an option of cloud-based S/4HANA implementation, which has a definite cost and value-driven advantage. The need of current times is reduced data footprint, automated processes, focus on cybersecurity, lower TCO, and agile environments-which is best achieved through S/4HANA when compared to ECC.

Choosing Between Rise & Grow: Approaches For SAP ECC to S/4HANA Migration

GROW with SAP RISE with SAP
Ideal for Small and Medium businesses, with limited customization, faster deployment and standardized features, with transparent pricing.
Ideal for large enterprises, needing customization, and having room for extended deployment. RISE has an individual pricing model and gives the benefit of having flexible extension capabilities.

Why Migrate to S/4HANA

Faster Processing and Stability
ECC works on conventional data access and storage models, which have comparatively slower processing capabilities.
S/4HANA works on an in-memory database model, with parallel processing and columnar data access, making it comparatively faster to suit modern technology requirements. Its various implementation models are more robust and stable, providing a seamless platform for business continuity.
Flexible Deployments
ECC is limited to an on-premise deployment model.
S/4HANA can be deployed on-premise or on the cloud. It supports private and public cloud implementations while being cloud-agnostic.
Intuitive and Intelligent Analytics

SAP ECC has limited native analytical capabilities but supports integration with both SAP and third-party analytical tools. 

S/4HANA offers extensive analytical capabilities that include advanced features like Predictive Analytics, with a simplified usage model that leverages advanced technologies such as AI and ML, along with Big Data analytics. S/4HANA drives efficient decision-making with rich data insights that perfectly complement your business intelligence requirements.

SAP S/4HANA has a rich UI/UX for analytics, for simplified usage and enhanced user-experience.

Scalability

ECC requires upfront costs to scale up for dynamic storage and infrastructure requirements, which is cost-intensive.
S/4HANA comes with cost-effective scalability and flexibility, which are its most sought-after features. A cloud-based storage model allows you to easily ramp up to meet your emerging needs, with the flexibility of a pay-as-you-go pricing model.

Customization vs Standardization

The modular architecture of ECC leans towards customization to suit individual business requirements, which has associated time and effort constraints, and limited standardization.

S/4HANA is more aligned towards standardization of operational processes and has pre-built processes that work on a plug-and-play model, with an on-the-top ability to customize as per requirements.

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) helps build advanced process models that align with your operational needs, and provide process optimization and re-engineering capabilities. 

Reduced Data Footprint
SAP ECC has a more complex data model with multiple tables for different functions , leading to extended data footprint.
S/4HANA has “Simplified Data Model”, which uses fewer tables and highly compressed data, reducing redundancy and optimizing storage. For example ,a single table called ACDOCA (the Universal Journal), which includes asset accounting (AA), GL, ML, management accounting (MA), FI, and CO-PA. ACDOCA removes many aggregate and index tables, which greatly reduces your data footprint.
User Experience
ECC works on the SAP GUI (Graphical User Interface), which is comparatively limited in its visibility and scope of accessibility.
S/4HANA works on the new SAP Fiori, providing enhanced user experience, and the ability to work seamlessly on various devices with simplified App-building capabilities.
