given transformation

• 18 months +

1C: Bluefield

transformation

(recommended)

• Only migrate data that is required

• (historical and Target impacts)

• Only migrate customisations that are

• required

• Near Zero Downtime at cutover

• Minimal change management required

• Can be used regardless of current

• state/version

• Initial project provides minimal

finance transformation.

• Subsequent projects required to

fully utilise S/4 capability

• 5 months

seemingly does the impossible of

taking the old SAP system and

of our old system, ensuring that
