SAP S/4HANA.

The three migration paths — named plainly

What we deliver

• Fit-to-Standard workshops — adopting standard S/4HANA processes; we document decisions and minimize custom scope.
• Full-lifecycle implementation on SAP Activate — Discover → Prepare → Explore → Realize → Deploy → Run, senior-led.
• SAP Cloud ALM — where clients still run SAP Solution Manager, we manage the transition (SolMan mainstream maintenance ends 2027).
• RISE / GROW advisory and delivery — the decision with the reasoning, not just the answer.
• Clean-core advisory — side-by-side BTP extensions over in-stack modifications, so every upgrade and every Joule agent drops in cleanly.
• Data migration & cutover — extraction, cleansing, validation, reconciliation, with go-live dress rehearsals.

SAP Activate, phase by phase

• Discover — readiness assessment and the initial business case, before you commit budget.
• Prepare — project governance, team mobilization, and environment provisioning.
• Explore — Fit-to-Standard workshops, configuration decisions, and delta design for anything that genuinely needs to differ from the standard.
• Realize — build and configure, iterative testing, and data migration execution.
• Deploy — cutover planning and execution, go-live.
• Run — hypercare immediately post-go-live, then transition into ongoing Application Management.

Clean-core principles

• ABAP Cloud development model — new custom code written to the restricted, upgrade-stable API set rather than free-form ABAP against the core.
• BTP-side extensions — RAP-based apps and SAP Build used for anything that would otherwise become an in-stack modification.
• Side-by-side extensibility as the default pattern, keeping the core untouched and every future upgrade — and every future Joule agent — dropping in cleanly.

Data migration, in practice

• LTMOM and LTMC — SAP’s migration cockpit tooling for object modeling and migration execution.
• Migration objects scoped and sequenced against a data quality assessment done up front, not discovered during cutover.
• Mock migrations run repeatedly before go-live to work out load timing and defects.
• Cutover strategy — defined freeze periods and, where the business requires continuity, a parallel run before final switchover.

RISE vs GROW

• Private Edition (RISE) — CPEA-contracted, suited to existing SAP customers with an established data and process base; typical go-live in 6–18 months depending on scope.
• Public Edition (GROW) — greenfield, quarterly SAP-managed updates, and with SAP’s Accelerators, a realistic 8–12 week path to go-live for organizations that can adopt the standard.

Solution Manager to Cloud ALM

• The transition from SAP Solution Manager to SAP Cloud ALM is included in scope for every S/4HANA engagement — not sold as a separate project later.
