With the announcement of S/4HANA came the inherent consternation from current SAP ECC customers about 'why to upgrade', 'when to upgrade', and 'how to upgrade'.
As the pace of adoption has increased, three paths have clearly stood out:
Path to S/4HANA # 1:
Technical Migration to SAP S/4HANA
Scenario #1: You know you will be upgrading to S/4HANA, and you might already even have the licenses, but your focus is to minimize cost as well as business change and disruption. In this case, you will be looking for a technically focused upgrade, minimizing changes to required SAP simplifications and potentially a very limited adoption of Fiori. NIMBL supports this approach with our packaged Discovery and Landing services. Click the link below for more information on how NIMBL's tailored made process for a technical lift is accomplished.
Path to S/4HANA #2:
Upgrade with Functional Innovation
Scenario #2: You know you will be upgrading to S/4HANA and you know you want to adopt new Fiori applications and innovations that come with the latest release, but you aren't exactly sure which innovations would be best for business. NIMBL supports this approach with a customized Functional/Technical Assessment that employs SAP tools as well as conducts sessions with your business users to review SAP Best Practices and Fiori Lighthouse Apps to design a tailored solution and approach. From there, NIMBL employs an SAP Activate based methodology to complete the upgrade.
