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


  • A new implementation of SAP S/4HANA, also known as a ‘Greenfield’ Implementation, enables complete re-engineering and process simplification. The Greenfield approach lets organizations predefine migration objects and best practices. It lowers Time-to-Value and TCO and facilitates faster adoption of innovation.

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.

SAP S/4 HANA Project Brown field Implementation Approach

  • 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:
  • Optimize the Custom Code
  • Upgrade to EHP
  • Implement SAP Business Suite on HANA
  • Prepare to migrate to SAP S/4HANA

The template rollout approach allows customers with multi-site SAP installations to efficiently manage their business processes across geographical distances – from initial template definition to template implementation and template optimization.


  • A global template contains basic information about the standard operation or process that will be used by all business units and entities, regardless of geographical location. In order to ensure that all business units meet an organization’s global standards, a global template is required. An organization needs to define what should be standardized globally and what will be allowed on a local level to cater to the unique needs of each business unit.
