Upgrade Approaches
We’ll help you choose the best upgrade approach for your business.
S/4HANA Implementation
execution based on assessment roadmap
GREENFIELD
A greenfield implementation provides a clean slate to start with, allowing you to customize and engineer your system to best practices based on your current business model. You would not leverage the customization and configuration in your existing ECC system.
S/4HANA Selective Migration
execution based on assessment roadmap – migration of selective data and processes
BLUEFIELD
A bluefield implementation combines the approaches of brown- and greenfield implementations. It typically involves a selective migration of data and processes to a new SAP instance.
S/4HANA Technical Upgrade
execution based on assessment roadmap – could be purely technical or technical + process/functionality
BROWNFIELD
A brownfield implementation allows you to leverage the customization from your existing ECC system. This provides a minimal impact to your business processes while being able to leverage the technical advantages of S/4HANA.
