9.7    Summary

Adopting SAP S/4HANA is clearly complex and requires a thorough assessment to understand which transformation path is right for you. Multiple considerations need to be assessed to understand whether a greenfield or brownfield implementation is the right choice for your business. The adoption scenario needs to be aligned with your expected outcome and the benefits you’re looking to achieve with SAP S/4HANA. SAP S/4HANA is clearly the way forward if you want to continue to use SAP and benefit from the latest innovations. You can start performing some of the housekeeping activities straight away to reduce your overall project time lines and aim for a smooth transition to SAP S/4HANA.

In the next chapter, we will explain how SAP Activate can support each one of the SAP S/4HANA adoption scenarios. We will review the new SAP framework that supports SAP S/4HANA implementation projects and we will cover all aspects of the solution from agile methodology.
