With the release of S/4HANA, SAP also announced that it would phase out the support for older ERP versions of SAP ECC by 2027. For numerous SAP customers, this means a fundamental change of their core system. Although the migration to the promising SAP S/4HANA system offers some advantages (e.g., simplicity, user-friendliness, and security), many companies and decision-makers are concerned about the effort (e.g., time, money, and resources) that should not be underestimated. MIGNOW, together with SOA People, has found a way to accelerate S/4HANA migration and transformation projects, minimize labor-intensive processes and thereby save time, costs, and effort.

Erp4students has invited MIGNOW to be their guest for an interview, so that it can provide its large community the latest insights on S/4HANA migration. This interview is now also available here.

Dr. Tamas Szirtes (Group Innovation Director at SOA People) and Guilherme Joventino (Co-Founder & COO of MIGNOW) explained to us how this works for SMEs and large corporations.

erp4studants question 6.1: Old Structures are often "carried along" and it poses the risk that previous inefficiencies might be also taken over. In addition, a leter switch to que SAP S/4HANA Cloud seems to involve considerable effort. How does MIGNOW counteract these difficulties?
erp4studants question 7: A Greenfield approach stands for a completely new start with SAP S/4HANA on a Greenfield site. When do you recommend companies to choose this approach? Do you provide with MIGNOW the possibility of an Al-supported new implementation or wich alternatives can you offer next to Brownfield?
