The SoftwareONE S/4HANA Pilot Program is primarily for SAP ECC customers who want to convert to S/4HANA on Hyperscaler, leveraging either Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS).

SoftwareONE’s SAP S/4HANA Pilot Program provides a real-world understanding of how the ECC application can be converted and how it would behave in the new S/4HANA application and Hyperscaler environment. The  S/4HANA Pilot Program provides answers to mission critical questions, including:

• What implementation/ migration approach is best suited for my organization?
• What parts of my SAP ECC system will be most impacted and to what degree?
• What impact will a move to S/4HANA make on my critical master data, reports, configuration, workflows, and transaction data?
• How will my customizations be impacted by a shift to S/4HANA?
• How will my peripheral SAP system applications and integration points be impacted?

• What training and change management will my organization need when moving to S/4HANA?
• What is the level of security measures and what level is available in the Hyperscaler Cloud?
• How will the user interface be impacted in regards to my processes, data, and overall system?
• To what level can I optimize my infrastructure costs when moving to Hyperscaler?

SoftwareONE’s applied approach to migration of SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA on Hyperscaler Cloud is based on best practices resulting in successful deployments. Our customer engagements have provided us with instrumental experience and insights to the challenges and limitations. These insights have influenced the path to the formulation of SoftwareONE’s SAP S/4HANA Pilot Program.

This innovative program is designed to address current challenges SAP customers face with their migration plans to S/4HANA while deciding when and to what extent to leverage the technology potential of Hyperscaler infrastructure providers and in particular the associated cloud economics benefits.

Customers who take advantage of the S/4HANA Pilot Program gain invaluable insight and experience with the S/4HANA application, platform technology, as well as with Hyperscaler providers. The knowledge attained throughout the process allows for advanced decision making and influences the overall strategy and roadmap when moving to S/4HANA.

Our customers appreciate the S/4HANA Pilot Program because it provides awareness and understanding on how their existing SAP ECC system would be impacted prior to embarking on an end-to-end S/4HANA migration on Hyperscaler. It gives the decision making criteria needed for a customer’s  roadmap on the journey to S/4HANA; and for some it even showcases whether a move to S/4HANA is necessary at all.
