The clock is ticking. By 2027, SAP will end mainstream support for ECC, and Gartner reports that over 70% of businesses still using legacy systems risk falling behind if they don’t migrate to S/4HANA. The benefits of S/4HANA are clear: real-time insights, improved operational efficiency, and a scalable foundation for growth. But here’s the challenge—while the destination is promising, the path to get there often feels like uncharted territory.
For many businesses, migration is a source of endless uncertainty. What data should be migrated? What custom code needs to be adapted? How do you minimize downtime and control costs? The stakes are high, and the fear of delays, disruptions, and budget overruns looms large.
This is where S4WARD steps in. S4WARD isn’t just another migration tool; it’s a comprehensive solution designed to remove the uncertainty from your S/4HANA journey. Combining advanced automation, deep data insights, and expert guidance, S4WARD ensures your migration is efficient, predictable, and seamless.
How S4WARD Brings Clarity, Control, and Speed
Let’s start with the first hurdle: clarity. One of the biggest challenges in migration is understanding your system landscape—what’s critical, what’s redundant, and what needs remediation. S4WARD provides a FREE SAP S/4HANA Readiness Report, offering a comprehensive analysis of your custom objects and data. This isn’t just a diagnostic tool; it’s your migration blueprint. It helps you make informed decisions, ensuring you’re not migrating unnecessary clutter or missing vital components.
Next comes control. Budget overruns are a nightmare for any CXO, yet they’re all too common in SAP migration projects. S4WARD eliminates this risk with fixed bid pricing. From the outset, you’ll know exactly what your migration will cost and when it will be completed. No surprises, no hidden fees—just a clear, predictable process that keeps your project on track.
Finally, there’s speed. In a world where downtime can cost businesses up to $250,000 per hour, according to IDC, minimizing disruptions is non-negotiable. S4WARD leverages advanced automation to fast-track critical tasks like custom code remediation, data validation, and conflict resolution. The result? Faster migrations with higher accuracy and minimal business disruption.
Proven Results with S4WARD
The results speak for themselves. With S4WARD, businesses have reported an average 80% ROI within their first year post-migration. They’ve achieved 95% accuracy in data and code validation, drastically reducing post-migration errors and improving system reliability.
Take, for example, a global manufacturing client who faced the daunting task of migrating over 21,000 custom objects and resolving 43,000 conflicts. With S4WARD, what seemed like an overwhelming challenge became a streamlined process. Their migration was completed on time, within budget, and without any unplanned downtime.
Four Critical Focus Areas for CXOs
While S4WARD provides the tools and expertise to simplify migration, successful outcomes still depend on strategic decision-making at the top. As a CXO, here are four key areas to focus on during your migration journey:
1. Strategic Decision-Making
Prioritize high-impact custom objects and streamline or eliminate those that don’t add value.
2. Data Strategy
Migration isn’t about moving everything. It’s about moving the right data. Focus on high-value data to improve efficiency and reduce system bloat.
3. Deployment Options
Whether you choose on-prem, private cloud, or public cloud, your deployment strategy should align with your long-term goals. S4WARD provides flexibility for all options.
4. Risk Mitigation
Downtime, data corruption, and operational disruptions are real risks. S4WARD minimizes these risks through targeted validation and real-time monitoring, ensuring a smooth transition.
