Whitepaper | What‘s your path to SAP S/4HANA?
Is SAP S/4HANA on your horizon?
It is now common knowledge among customers that SAP is winding down support for legacy
versions in 2027 to bene昀椀t SAP S/4HANA®. 吀栀e deadline has already been extended a few times;
another extension just arrived moving the deadline from 2025 to 2027. 吀栀is may be a sign that
SAP recognizes how hesitant many customers are to take the plunge. Who can blame them?
Migration can potentially imply a very long, costly, and disruptive project.
If SAP S/4HANA is on your horizon, this white paper will make the case for the Selective Data
Transition Approach (SDT). 吀栀is approach is ideal for migrating the best of your legacy systems
to SAP S/4HANA with a minimum of business disruption and a maximum of business bene昀椀ts.
吀栀is paper provides an overview of the various methods of migrating legacy systems to
SAP S/4HANA, while outlining their pros and cons and comparing them to the SDT option.
In particular, we will describe the Natuvion approach to SDT that has been proven to reduce
the cost, disruption, and duration of the migration project.
Our proof point: Natuvion has been selected by SAP as one of only four global partners in
its Selective Data Transition Engagement (SDTE) initiative, which is described further down.
