Greenfield implementation
A clean build on SAP best-practice processes using SAP Activate — the right answer when the current configuration carries two decades of workarounds nobody wants to migrate.
SAP lifecycle
End-to-end SAP lifecycle, from greenfield to upgrade
Greenfield and brownfield SAP implementations, migrations, conversions and upgrades — delivered by an in-house bench rather than a hiring pipeline opened after you sign.
What you get
Outcomesyou can measure
- A single accountable team from kick-off through hypercare
- Clean-core-first design so your upgrade path stays open
- Evidence-backed estimates — not discovery-call guesswork
- Documentation and decision logs that survive the handover

What we deliver
Capabilities,one by one
Brownfield conversion
In-place technical conversion that preserves history, configuration and custom development. Lower disruption, shorter timeline, and the path most existing ECC customers take.
Selective data transition
The middle road — carry forward the configuration and data that still earn their place, leave the rest behind. Useful after a merger or carve-out.
EHP + S/4HANA upgrades
Routine support package stacks, enhancement packs and major release upgrades — scoped, risk-assessed and executed without disrupting the business.
Custom code remediation
Every custom object scanned with ABAP Test Cockpit and the Custom Code Migration app, then fixed, replaced with standard functionality, or retired outright.
Data migration & reconciliation
Extract, cleanse, map and load through the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit with reconciliation reports at every cycle, so finance can sign off on numbers rather than take them on trust.
How we deliver
6 phases,one accountable team
Each phase has a defined output, so you always know what you are getting before the next one starts.
Phase 01
Discover
Readiness Check, custom-code analysis, interface inventory, business-process review.
Phase 02
Prepare
Target architecture, sizing, landscape design and project governance model.
Phase 03
Explore
Fit-to-standard workshops. Every gap gets a decision — adopt, extend on BTP, or justify.
Phase 04
Realise
Configuration, remediation, extension build, integration and iterative data cycles.
Phase 05
Deploy
Cutover rehearsals, business sign-off, go-live with a documented rollback position.
Phase 06
Run
Hypercare with named consultants, planned handover to AMO or in-house team.
Why this is urgent now
SAP ends mainstream maintenance for SAP ERP Central Component on 31 December 2027. A typical S/4HANA programme runs 18–36 months once data, integrations and testing are accounted for — the window for a comfortable, well-governed project is already narrow.
The organisations that move early get better consultants at better rates and a calmer project.
FAQ
Common questions
Should we go greenfield or brownfield?
It depends on how much of your current configuration still reflects how the business actually works. We make that call on evidence from the readiness assessment, not on preference.
How long does an SAP S/4HANA migration take?
A focused brownfield conversion on a single-instance landscape can complete in six to nine months. A multi-country greenfield programme with heavy integration runs considerably longer — typically 14–24 months.
What's the difference between RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP?
RISE is SAP's bundled offer for existing SAP customers moving to S/4HANA Private Cloud or Public Cloud — includes the licence, hyperscaler infra, BTP credits and a managed transition service. GROW is the equivalent bundle for net-new SAP customers going straight to S/4HANA Public Cloud, optimised for faster time-to-value. We advise on which fits based on your estate, not SAP's incentive structure.
What happens to our custom ABAP in a brownfield conversion?
It gets assessed against SAP's simplification list and the HANA code-check tools. Code that's still relevant moves, flagged against clean-core principles for future refactor. Code that duplicated standard SAP (common in 15+-year-old landscapes) gets retired. The output is a quantified remediation list, not a ceremony.
Can you deliver selective data transition (SDT)?
Yes. SDT suits landscapes where you want S/4HANA but need to restructure company codes, controlling areas or chart of accounts at the same time. We partner with SAP's Data Migration Cockpit and third-party tools (DMLT, SNP) depending on volume and complexity.
Do you handle the 2027 ECC deadline?
Yes — a large share of our pipeline is enterprises planning their exit from ECC before mainstream maintenance ends December 2027 (or extended support ends December 2030). We start every engagement with a readiness assessment that frames the choice: convert, re-implement or stay on extended support.
