SAP S/4HANA Migration, Implementation & Application Management Services

We drive to build SAP platforms that support long-term business performance. For 30 years, we’ve delivered high-profile, end-to-end SAP ECC and S/4HANA implementations for major organizations worldwide. With SAP ECC mainstream maintenance ending on December 31, 2027, the move to S/4HANA is becoming harder to put off.
Gartner reported that only 39%, or around 14,000, of approximately 35,000 SAP ECC customers had migrated to S/4HANA by the end of 2024. Gartner also projects that around 17,000 could still be on ECC by 2027. We help manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and enterprise organizations plan, implement, migrate, integrate, and support SAP environments through a structured delivery approach.

The Challenge

Common Challenges That Delay SAP Transformation Programs

A successful SAP transformation involves more than implementing new software. Migration planning, data quality, business process alignment, integration, testing, and post-go-live support all affect the outcome.
Horváth’s 2025 study of 200 SAP-using companies found that transformations take 30% longer than planned on average. More than 60% reported significant deviations in budget, schedule, and result quality, while 65% reported strong to very strong quality deficits.

01

The ECC Runway Is Shorter Than It Looks

With mainstream maintenance ending in 2027, organizations need time to assess their environment, choose a migration approach, prepare data and custom code, and manage business change. Large SAP programs can involve process redesign, testing, training, integrations, and cutover planning, leaving little room for avoidable delays.

02

Poor Data Quality Delays SAP Migration

Incomplete records, duplicates, inconsistent formats, outdated information, and legacy business rules can add significant work to migration. Horváth found that underestimated testing and data migration phases are among the reasons SAP transformations deviate from plan. The study also found that a quarter of completed programs heavily exceeded their budget, with another 40% strongly exceeding it.

03

Limited Support After Go-Live

Go-live is not the end of an SAP transformation. Issues often appear when real users begin working in the new environment. Without structured SAP Application Management Services, even smaller issues can affect business operations.
Horváth found that 65% of organizations reported strong to very strong quality deficits following transformation. A planned transition from implementation and hypercare into ongoing AMS gives teams a clearer path for resolving issues and maintaining system performance.

04

SAP Configuration Built for the Project, Not the Business

An SAP system can pass testing and still fall short in daily operations. This often happens when configuration decisions focus on project deadlines instead of long-term business requirements.
We map configuration decisions to real business processes and apply clean core principles by default, reducing the need for workarounds that can make SAP harder to maintain.
What We Deliver

SAP Transformation & Implementation Services

We cover SAP S/4HANA migration, implementation and configuration, data and code migration, integration, and ongoing application management. Each engagement is scoped around your business processes rather than a standard template.
Explore All Services

SAP S/4HANA Migration Services

End-to-end migration from SAP ECC using brownfield conversion, greenfield implementation, selective data transition, or Bluefield approaches. We select the model based on system complexity, business requirements, custom code, and timeline.

SAP Implementation and Configuration

S/4HANA implementation across SD, MM, FI, CO, QM, and PP, including FICO and accounts payable process design. Configuration is mapped to business requirements and documented before build begins.

SAP Data & Code Migration Services

We handle data extraction, cleansing, transformation, and validation across master data, transactional data, and open items. Our migration tooling also scans and classifies custom ABAP code so remediation can happen before cutover.

SAP Application Management Services

Ongoing support covering incident management, monitoring, configuration changes, minor enhancements, and performance optimisation. Defined SLAs and named support teams provide continuity from hypercare into long-term support.

SAP Integration & EDI Services

We integrate S/4HANA with CRM, WMS, EDI platforms, cloud applications, and other business systems using APIs, IDocs, and middleware. EDI trading partner setup and end-to-end testing are completed before go-live.

SAP Fiori, Business AI & Agentic Workflows

We configure SAP Fiori and develop custom applications where needed to improve user experience. We also help clients evaluate and implement SAP Joule and Business AI capabilities against real process data rather than demo environments.

Planning a Successful SAP S/4HANA Migration

Understanding SAP S/4HANA Migration

SAP S/4HANA migration involves moving from SAP ECC or another legacy ERP through system conversion or reimplementation, data and code migration, process redesign, integration changes, and user preparation. With the 2027 ECC maintenance deadline approaching, migration planning has become time-sensitive for organizations still running ECC.

Choosing the Right SAP Migration Approach

We assess whether brownfield, greenfield, selective data transition, or a Bluefield hybrid approach best fits your operational requirements, custom code footprint, future plans, and timeline.

Preparing Data and Code for SAP Migration

We review master data, transactions, historical records, integrations, and data quality alongside a full custom code assessment. This helps identify issues before migration and reduce cutover and post-go-live risk.

RISE and GROW with SAP

For organizations moving through RISE with SAP or GROW with SAP, we provide migration planning, implementation support, clean core advisory, integration, and governance, including guidance on which extensions should sit outside the SAP core.

Our Approach

Our SAP Implementation & Migration Process

Every engagement follows a phase-gated delivery model refined over 30 years and hundreds of go-lives. Each stage has defined outputs and sign-off before the next phase begins.

Assess Your SAP Environment

We review the SAP landscape, configuration, data quality, custom code, integrations, and business process gaps. The migration approach, scope, timeline, and data and code strategy are documented before build begins.

Define the SAP Solution & Migration Strategy

We confirm the migration approach and complete business process design, configuration specifications, clean core boundaries, and data migration mapping before development starts.

Configure SAP & Migrate Business Data

Configuration is built in controlled stages with business sign-off. Data extraction, cleansing, and validation run in parallel, while integrations are built and tested before UAT.

Test, Validate & Prepare for Go-Live

We conduct end-to-end integration and user acceptance testing across in-scope processes. Migration rehearsals, cutover planning, and the production runbook are completed before go-live.

Deploy SAP & Stabilize Operations

Production cutover is managed as a structured event with a formal go/no-go decision. Dedicated hypercare then supports issue resolution and system stabilisation.

Provide Ongoing SAP Application Support

Hypercare transitions into structured AMS covering incidents, monitoring, configuration changes, continuous improvement, and adoption of relevant Business AI capabilities.
