Brown Field Implementation

Innovate business processes faster to become a best-run business and optimize IT operations.

System conversion, also known as the ‘Brownfield’ approach, enables migration to SAP S/4HANA without re-implementation and without disruption to existing business processes. At the same time, it enables revaluation of customization and existing process flows.
The Brownfield preference trend also makes sense considering the implications of a Greenfield migration on testing.

A Brownfield conversion presents a risk-free opportunity to cost-effectively combine the SAP landscape rebuild with an overall consolidation and harmonization of all SAP-related business processes.
A system conversion is preferable to new implementation as it can be broken into several distinct phases – enabling companies to keep a clear view on the project scope and to continuously optimize their project management.
For example, consider the steps below which is depicted in the picture below:
