Lean Selective Data Transition

The Game Changer in SAP S/4HANA Migration? Lean Selective Data Transition!

Are you familiar with SAP's offering for "Lean Selective Data Transition"?
The SAP Business Transformation Center offers customers who find neither the Greenfield approach (new implementation) nor the Brownfield approach (conversion) suitable for their SAP S/4HANA migration an easy and generally free middle path. In this approach, only master and transactional data are migrated to an SAP S/4HANA system (on-prem or private cloud).

The SAP Business Transformation Center is integrated into SAP Cloud Application Lifecycle Management (CALM). However, the data is migrated directly from the SAP source system to SAP S/4HANA. CALM only provides the analysis and administration apps.

Also of interest to anyone involved in SAP S/4HANA migration are the pre-implementation analyses (“Insights”) based on data from the Readiness Check. This means that analyses can be carried out independently of time and system constraints before any decisions are made.

Through the creation of a "Digital Blueprint," the basic scope (company code with all dependent organizational units and periods) as well as the specific objects to be migrated (including Z-tables!) are selected. Individual transformation objects can be adjusted at any time before migration (“in scope” / “out of scope”). Dashboards display the selected and non-selected data volumes in both absolute and relative numbers.

Key Points:
 

  • Free for all customers with CALM
  • Utilizes analysis data from the Readiness Check (upload zip file) – initial analysis and assessments are easy to perform
  • Allows selection of company codes and time slices
  • Migrates master and transactional data of selected company codes from an SAP ERP system directly into an SAP S/4HANA system (direct system connection, meaning secure and fast) – on-prem or private cloud
  • Considers all system dependencies (document flows, intercompany dependencies)
  • Can also migrate Z-objects (including Industry Solutions – whether the data remains usable is another question)
  • However, it is "lean" – not everything is possible yet, but it’s constantly being developed
