The SAP S/4HANA Selective Data Transition is an advanced approach designed to provide businesses with a flexible and secure route for transitioning from legacy SAP ERP systems to SAP S/4HANA. Unlike traditional methods such as New Implementation or System Conversion, this approach allows organisations to selectively transfer essential historical data whilst redesigning processes to align with new business models.

The Selective Data Transition is ideal for companies that need to retain critical data but are seeking to restructure or harmonise business processes. This method reduces downtime and business disruption by enabling phased migrations, such as regional or department-based go-lives, thereby minimising operational risks.

Additionally, the table-based transition approach facilitates a high-speed, selective transfer of data, offering the ability to exclude outdated or obsolete organisational information. Tailored to each organisation’s specific requirements, the Selective Data Transition utilises a global network of SAP experts, ensuring high standards of execution, quality control, and alignment with industry best practices.

This whitepaper provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the process, benefits, and decision criteria for choosing Selective Data Transition, ensuring a smooth and efficient journey to SAP S/4HANA.
