This chapter guided you through the critical migration strategies, road map definitions, and activities to complete an SAP S/4HANA migration. It defined the reasons and requirements to create a migration and technology road map for your organization.

We suggest considering the state of your current business processes definitions as a starting point and a critical success factor. In our experience, taking into consideration your strategic intent, operating models, processes, technology, value, and people are critical for the success of your SAP S/4HANA transformation. Digital transformation initiatives depend on all these factors, and they are equally important as the technology itself.

We also covered the SAP S/4HANA migration alternatives available that take into consideration the current state of your ecosystems. The SAP S/4HANA integration capabilities with SaaS products in the cloud and also your existing systems are key success factors. In this chapter, we covered the three SAP S/4HANA technical integration capabilities.
