SAP S/4HANA Migration
The Race to 2027 Has Commenced
The year 2027 marks the deadline for SAP users to finalize their transition to SAP S/4HANA. While it may appear distant, the process of obtaining business case approval, selecting an appropriate partner, completing the build, and going live leaves minimal room for contingency. Now is the opportune moment to contemplate the optimal approach for provisioning and managing your SAP S/4HANA infrastructure, as well as identifying the most suitable migration path.
Explore Your Alternatives
Certain businesses encounter obstacles preventing a straightforward migration to SAP S/4HANA, as their current infrastructure lacks the capacity to support both production and migration tasks simultaneously. Consequently, these clients opt to migrate their existing SAP systems as-is to a hyperscale Cloud as an initial step. Once there, they can leverage the Cloud’s limitless capacity to provision and expedite the migration process. However, whether you are new to SAP or seeking to streamline and enhance your existing SAP system, simply adopting a traditional “lift and shift” approach to migration and management is unlikely to yield significant improvements. This approach typically results in a similar SAP experience as before, characterized by high costs, limited agility, and minimal innovation. Your journey to SAP S/4HANA offers multiple pathways, and the key lies in identifying the most suitable solution for your business. Sapsense provides a range of options to ensure a seamless transition to the cloud, regardless of the route you choose.
Fresh Start with SAP S/4HANA Implementation
Some organizations seize the chance to initiate the development of their SAP systems from the ground up. However, whether you are new to SAP or aiming to streamline and enhance your existing SAP system, simply adopting a traditional lift and shift approach to migration and management is unlikely to yield significant improvements. This approach typically results in a similar SAP experience as before, characterized by high costs, limited agility, and minimal innovation. Opting for a Greenfield approach to migrating to SAP S/4HANA offers several benefits, including rapid and cost-effective provisioning of SAP S/4HANA infrastructure, affordable and responsive project support, and ongoing operations optimized for the Cloud.

Large System SAP S/4HANA Migration with Near-Zero Downtime
The migration of a very large SAP system to SAP S/4HANA represents several unique challenges, not least of which is managing the business disruption and downtime of such a migration. Sapsense’s Cloud Platform (LCP) has a unique migration pattern that migrates systems with minimum downtime. We analyze your existing database to recognize static data which we migrate ahead of the go-live window. Only dynamic data is migrated as part of any agreed downtime window resulting in near-zero downtime.
What is RISE with SAP
RISE with SAP is a compelling solution for modern Enterprises running SAP who want to convert their existing software licenses to a subscription model and leverage SAP for a complete managed service. The challenge to adopting RISE with SAP is that it is only designed as a platform for SAP S/4HANA. Typical SAP landscapes have a rich and tightly integrated environment of SAP, non-SAP and legacy SAP components that will never move to SAP S/4HANA yet are essential to the operation of the business. Â
Sapsense will convert and migrate an ERP system to RISE with SAP and build sister VPCs for non-RISE applications. Sapsense will also operate non-RISE applications and provide initial BTP integration mapping. This starts with a funded assessment to chart a rapid migration to RISE with SAP, categorize non-RISE applications, provide an integrated approach to migration, wrapped up with a supporting business case.
