As an SAP ECC6 customer, the transition to S/4HANA is probably on your mind. With around ten migration projects (Greenfield and Brownfield) from SAP ECC6 to S/4HANA, including several on S/4HANA Private Cloud (RISE), we have today acquired solid experience and strong convictions.
Although essentially focused on the SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud (RISE) solution, during this webinar, we’ll be discussing the alternatives possible: S/4HANA On Premise, ECC6 RISE and S/4HANA Public Cloud. Regarding migration to S/4HANA, we will focus on Brownfield (conversion) projects.
