Organisations that have built their businesses around a particular ERP system, generally need to follow the upgrade roadmap of their ERP provider.

  • The long march of S/4 Hana

    S/4 Hana, the ERP system built on SAP's in-memory, columnar database Hana has been on a long march through the enterprise since its launch in February 2013. In this e-guide, we discuss the pros and cons of upgrading to S/4 Hana, what the future has in store for the system and how its users are feeling about C/4 Hana integration.

  • What Path Should You Take to SAP S/4HANA?

    Transitioning to SAP S/4HANA is crucial for SAP users as maintaining ECC will become more expensive. This guide outlines migration options:

    • Greenfield: Starts anew with SAP S/4HANA, enabling process redesign but costly and time-consuming.
    • Selective Data Transfer: Migrates only necessary data, cutting costs and boosting performance.
    • Brownfield: Adapts the current system to SAP S/4HANA, reducing disruption but possibly hindering new features.

    This eGuide helps organizations select the most suitable migration path. Lemongrass offers support with assessments, migrations, and managed services.
