You can migrate to SAP S/4HANA using the standard migration paths. For those already running SAP ERP 6.0, a system conversion is the correct method.
SAP S/4HANA is the next generation of the SAP Business Suite enterprise software from SAP. Based on the SAP HANA in-memory platform, SAP developers have carefully tailored the solution to meet the needs and challenges of the digital economy. Not only can companies optimize existing processes, but they can now also realize new processes to assert their advantage in the digital competition.
By employing SAP S/4HANA as the digital core of their IT architectures, enterprises can firmly focus on digital processes, where business scenarios are effectively implemented and powerfully marketed. As such, SAP S/4HANA is more than just a successor to SAP Business Suite, it represents a completely new product line.
The migration to SAP S/4HANA is therefore not a one-off project such as an upgrade or database migration. Instead, it involves the entire IT system landscape. Enterprises should always plan the transformation in terms of their optimum future SAP target architecture. This makes life much simpler for users: Thanks to the holistic nature of the transformation, it allows often complex and heterogeneous IT system landscapes to be eliminated (unlike a pure migration to SAP HANA), laying the foundations for simpler, more streamlined processes.
