Selective migration to S/4 Hana

With SAP Hana in mind, it pays to be selective and distinguish between active, inactive and obsolete data. This way you optimize the system and save costs.

Selective migration to S/4 Hana

But how can I make an individual and selective switch to S/4 Hana? How do I select the data that I want to keep?

Three dimensions

This question is familiar from classic transformation projects, keyword: System Landscape Optimization. The relevant data is mapped using three dimensions:

  1. the organizational element in an SAP system, e.g. the company code
  2. the time dimension, e.g. only data from the past two years
  3. the status of the transaction date, e.g. an open order.

These three dimensions can be used to map all of a company's requirements, regardless of the target release.

In terms of an "end-to-end" solution for the data, we at Datavard recommend moving the remaining data to a more cost-effective storage medium, such as Hadoop, which can still be accessed from the SAP system.

Let our experts at Datavard put together your individual and selective migration strategy and find out about automated SAP data management, BW architecture and analytics of the future as well as system decommissioning & retirement.
