And now that the project is about to start, the question of HOW arises. Radical change with the greenfield approach, staying true to data and processes with the brownfield approach, or taking the middle ground with the bluefield approach? Of course, there is no universal answer here. To make the decision easier for you anyway, we have summarized all the important information on migration approaches in this series of articles. Today we start with the greenfield approach:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; line-height: 34.4px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">The term &#8220;greenfield&#8221; originally comes from the field of urban planning and construction. It refers to a pristine area that is free of previous development or structures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; line-height: 34.4px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">In the SAP environment, the term is used for an approach in which all processes and systems are completely rebuilt and configured according to standards and best practices. Old legacy systems, user data and configurations that cannot be updated are not transferred to SAP S\/4HANA.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-font-size:34px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"font-family:&quot;DIN Condensed Bold &quot;;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin:0;font-size:1em;\">Advantages of the Greenfield Migration<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\" style=\"--awb-font-size:20px;\"><p><span style=\"color: var(--awb-text-color); font-family: var(--awb-text-font-family); font-size: var(--awb-font-size); font-style: var(--awb-text-font-style); font-weight: var(--awb-text-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--awb-letter-spacing); text-align: var(--awb-content-alignment); text-transform: var(--awb-text-transform); background-color: var(--awb-bg-color-hover);\">The main advantage is that inefficient or faulty processes are not transferred to the new system. The new IT landscape can therefore be optimized and built to meet current business requirements. This improves the company&#8217;s innovative strength and agility. And this is vital for companies for several reasons. Only those who work in an agile and innovative way &#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: var(--awb-text-color); font-family: var(--awb-text-font-family); font-size: var(--awb-font-size); font-style: var(--awb-text-font-style); font-weight: var(--awb-text-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--awb-letter-spacing); text-align: var(--awb-content-alignment); text-transform: var(--awb-text-transform); background-color: var(--awb-bg-color-hover);\">can adapt to constantly changing customer requirements and ensure their satisfaction in the long term.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>become resilient to external influences.<\/li>\n<li>can permanently hold its own against competitors in the market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another advantage is that the risks of a greenfield migration are lower.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The implementation can be done in stages. This is particularly relevant if a company has several units that are to be integrated into the new system. These are then rolled out step by step and the achieved progress is secured. This minimizes the risks for disruption or failure.<\/li>\n<li>During a greenfield migration, the new system is set up in alongside the existing one. Before the go-live, it is tested extensively. And in the event of a failure, IT managers can initiate a rollback to the old system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And last but not least: Only with a greenfield migration it&#8217;s possible for companies to move to the cloud. <a href=\"https:\/\/dsag.de\/presse\/on-premise-kunden-von-innovationen-abgeschnitten\/?_gl=1*1bmzm8c*_up*MQ..*_ga*NDc3NjEyMzY4LjE2OTE1NjEzNjU.*_ga_FQLEMLZHKT*MTY5MTU2MTM2NC4xLjEuMTY5MTU2MTM4OS4zNS4wLjA.\">In a press conference at the end of July 2023, SAP CEO Christian Klein announced that in the future, innovations and further developments such as AI functions would only be made available in the cloud.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-font-size:32px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"font-family:&quot;DIN Condensed Bold &quot;;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin:0;font-size:1em;\">Disadvantages of the Greenfield Migration<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\" style=\"--awb-font-size:20px;--awb-text-font-family:&quot;DIN Alternate Bold&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p><span style=\"color: var(--awb-text-color); font-family: var(--awb-text-font-family); font-size: var(--awb-font-size); font-style: var(--awb-text-font-style); font-weight: var(--awb-text-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--awb-letter-spacing); text-align: var(--awb-content-alignment); text-transform: var(--awb-text-transform); background-color: var(--awb-bg-color-hover);\">During the project phase, higher costs may initially be incurred as processes are set up from scratch. If this is on the agenda anyway, this additional cost is clearly overcompensated, as follow-up investments are avoided. In addition, the added value materializes much earlier and improves the ROI. Gaining access to innovative technologies has the potential to achieve greater customer satisfaction and thus higher revenues, as well as to strengthen the resilience of the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: var(--awb-text-color); font-family: var(--awb-text-font-family); font-size: var(--awb-font-size); font-style: var(--awb-text-font-style); font-weight: var(--awb-text-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--awb-letter-spacing); text-align: var(--awb-content-alignment); text-transform: var(--awb-text-transform); background-color: var(--awb-bg-color-hover);\">Nevertheless it should be noted that data from previous processes and systems will not be transferred.

An approach that is unsuitable for your company can, in the worst case, cause exploding costs and even business interruptions. But if you do it right, a successful migration lays the foundation for greater resilience and innovative strength &#8211; and thus the future-readiness of your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":1874,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-consulting","category-innovation-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.0 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Migration to SAP S\/4HANA: Agility and Cloud Benefits with the Greenfield Approach<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The optimal migration approach for SAP S\/4HANA sets the foundation for business success.
