ACBaltica S/4HANA Conversion Factory
S/4HANA Conversion: benefit on the impressive features of the cutting-edge solution with no interruption to your business processes. ACBaltica offers partners and end clients a unified model of cooperation and can act as a subcontractor to a local partner.
Although SAP announced a shift to S/4HANA in 2015, about 70% of SAP customers still rely on SAP ECC, the previous generation ERP system that SAP will no longer support after 2027. And you can easily guess why: updating a running core business system is always a huge risk. But what if we say that there's a safe strategy to migrate from SAP ECC to S/4HANA without interrupting your running processes? You get all the benefits of the cutting-edge ERP system while preserving your well-known routines and custom developments and saving historical data – all within a limited time and budget!
Move to S/4HANA – without changing your processes
Now that you know the benefits of the latest SAP ERP solution, we have another great news: you can migrate to S/4HANA without changing or major interrupting your business flow. Choose Brownfield Conversion!
To avoid interruptions of the business flow, our team will copy the existing solution and historical data, migrate these to S/4HANA and thoroughly check if everything works correctly. We perform all tests in a so-called sandbox: no interactions with your actual solution before making sure everything works exactly as required. This approach allows us to reduce all possible risks. When we are ready, we update the prod version.
Good news: the downtime period caused by migration takes only about 3-5 hours and can be performed on weekdays or at night. If a 3 hours interruption to the business flow is not an option, we can reduce it to 5-20 minutes – with SAP Near-Zero Downtime technology.
Technically, Brownfield Conversion is migrating your business processes and historical data to the SAP HANA database. You retain your well-tested and proven business processes and gain a mix of new features that weren't available in SAP ECC. If you had any custom code in your previous ERP solution, no worries: Brownfield Conversion methodology allows you to adapt the customizations created for legacy ERP solutions to S/4HANA. The same goes for integrations: you retain all apps you worked with in your legacy ERP system. And remember that while migrating to S/4HANA, you can switch from on-premise to the cloud solution!
