class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The SAP S\/4HANA migration describes the \u00a0transition from SAP ECC to SAP S\/4HANA. SAP S\/4HANA is the latest generation of the SAP Business Suite and replaces its predecessor, SAP ERP 6.0 (also known as SAP ECC). Because of the fundamental changes in system architecture, new applications and functions, and the growing importance of the <a href=\"https:\/\/xiting.com\/en\/sap-knowledge\/sap-fiori\/launchpad\">Fiori Launchpad<\/a> as the central user interface, this is not a simple upgrade \u2013 it is an entirely new product.<\/p><p>In addition to the mandatory use of the SAP HANA in-memory database, the transition brings further new technical approaches. With its \u201cSingle Point of Entry\u201d concept, S\/4HANA \u00a0enables users to access all the applications and informations relevant to them and initiate business processes from a single location.<\/p><p>This simplifies access to various modules, transactions, and data within the SAP system. In S\/4HANA, this is reflected not only through the provision of new transactions but also through the <a href=\"https:\/\/xiting.com\/en\/sap-knowledge\/sap-fiori\/\">SAP Fiori<\/a> Launchpad as the central UI.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f668a22 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"f668a22\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"xtn-info\">\r\n<span class=\"xtn-info-label\">Info<\/span>\r\n<h3 class=\"xtn-info-title\">SAP Fiori Launchpad<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"xtn-info-p\">The SAP Fiori Launchpad provides a user-friendly interface organized around tiles and apps. Redundant and similar functions are consolidated here. The \"Principle of One\" that SAP pursues with S\/4HANA does not mean S\/4HANA is less powerful \u2013 quite the opposite: the system is leaner thanks to its reduced data model, which reduces the data footprint.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"xtn-info-p\">These key changes mean that existing <a href=\"https:\/\/xiting.com\/en\/sap-knowledge\/sap-authorizations-explained\/sap-authorization-concepts\/\">authorization concepts<\/a> cannot simply be transferred into SAP S\/4HANA 1:1. Instead, they need to be adapted to meet the new requirements and applications in S\/4HANA.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"xtn-info-p xtn-info-p-last\">Custom code migration to SAP S\/4HANA also plays an important role here: most organizations have made extensive customizations and extensions to their existing ERP systems through in-house developments tailored to their individual business processes. When switching to SAP S\/4HANA, these custom developments must be carefully reviewed and \u2013 where necessary \u2013 adjusted to be compatible with the new technical and functional requirements.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n  .xtn-info{\r\n    --xtn-red:#cd1316;\r\n    --xtn-ink:#1a1a1a;\r\n    --xtn-border:#ededed;\r\n    font-family:\"Open Sans\",-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",sans-serif;\r\n    background:#ffffff;\r\n    border:1px solid var(--xtn-border);\r\n    border-left:4px solid var(--xtn-red);\r\n    border-radius:14px;\r\n    padding:28px 30px;\r\n    box-shadow:0 8px 28px rgba(20,20,20,.05);\r\n    max-width:100%;\r\n    box-sizing:border-box;\r\n  }\r\n  .xtn-info *{box-sizing:border-box;}\r\n\r\n  .xtn-info-label{\r\n    display:block;\r\n    font-size:12px;\r\n    font-weight:700;\r\n    letter-spacing:.08em;\r\n    text-transform:uppercase;\r\n    color:var(--xtn-red);\r\n    margin-bottom:10px;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  .xtn-info-title{\r\n    font-size:19px;\r\n    line-height:1.3;\r\n    font-weight:700;\r\n    color:var(--xtn-ink);\r\n    margin:0 0 18px;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  .xtn-info-p{\r\n    font-size:15px;\r\n    line-height:1.7;\r\n    color:var(--xtn-ink);\r\n    margin:0 0 16px;\r\n  }\r\n  .xtn-info-p-last{margin-bottom:0;}\r\n\r\n  .xtn-info a{\r\n    color:var(--xtn-red);\r\n    text-decoration:none;\r\n  }\r\n  .xtn-info a:hover{\r\n    text-decoration:underline;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  @media (max-width:479px){\r\n    .xtn-info{padding:22px 22px;}\r\n    .xtn-info-title{font-size:17px;}\r\n    .xtn-info-p{font-size:14px;}\r\n  }\r\n<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2dae58b1 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2dae58b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">7 Benefits of Migrating to SAP S\/4HANA<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a99df2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"8a99df2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"xtn-article\">\r\n\r\n<p class=\"xtn-article-intro\">Migrating to SAP S\/4HANA offers organizations many advantages that go well beyond simply modernizing their IT landscape:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"xtn-article-numlist\">\r\n\r\n<li>\r\n<span class=\"xtn-article-num\">1<\/span>\r\n<div class=\"xtn-article-numbody\">\r\n<h4 class=\"xtn-article-numtitle\">SAP HANA Database and Reduced Data Latency<\/h4>\r\n<p class=\"xtn-article-numtext\">Unlike disk-based databases, an in-memory database holds all data in working memory, enabling fast data access and significantly reducing processing times.

Do you need to migrate your SAP authorizations to S\/4HANA, and you wanna know which project approaches exist and which one is the right one for you? In this video, we'll break down the three main s four handed transition approaches, Greenfield, Brownfield, and Bluefield, and explain how to figure out which one fits your company best. For new SAP customers, the greenfield approach is the only project method when moving from a non SAP system to implement SAP for the first time while aiming to establish a future proof and high performance authorization concept right from the start. Existing customers who want to migrate from SAP ERP to SAP S\/4HANA can also choose the greenfield scenario. In this case, it is referred to as a reimplementation. A reimplementation is used when customers face the problem of an outdated, highly inconsistent system or when they want to redefine their business processes. In such a reimplementation, you can choose a complete redesign project approach where the entire authorization concept is reworked. However, in parallel to the redesign, a migration project must be carried out to adapt the existing roles to the new requirements, which increases complexity. A major disadvantage of the greenfield approach is the high effort involved in transferring data, authorizations, and business processes. However, it is also the best way to fully leverage all the advantages of S\/4HANA from the start, completely in standard. The brownfield approach refers to the migration of an existing, well maintained, and standard compliant SAP ERP system to the new SAPS\/4HANA release. The advantage of this method is that it can be implemented faster since the existing system does not need to be completely rebuilt. Instead, the existing business processes, data, and configurations are largely retained. The downside, however, is that existing legacy issues, outdated processes, and inefficiencies are also carried over into the new system. In such cases, additional redesign work may be required, sometimes even more than with greenfield. The blue field approach is a hybrid method that combines the advantages of greenfield and brownfield. This approach is most often used for transitioning multiple legacy systems into one consolidated SAP S\/4 HANA system resulting in a full redesign of the current authorization concept. Here, only selected and particularly relevant data and processes are migrated. There is also the possibility to optimize certain business processes. In this way, the entire system does not need to be completely rebuilt or redesigned as in the greenfield approach, while at the same time avoiding unnecessary legacy issues that often come with a brownfield migration. At Xiting, we offer you a powerful solution within authorization management to significantly accelerate your migration to SAP S\/4HANA.

According to a survey by PwC and LeanIX, the 3 biggest migration challenges are:<\/p><ul><li>Complex legacy systems<\/li><li>High degree of customization<\/li><li>Unclean master data<\/li><\/ul><p>One of the most important decisions to make at the outset is choosing the right SAP S\/4HANA solution and the right migration method. Delays and unforeseen cost overruns are common risks in large IT projects \u2013 and the migration to SAP S\/4HANA is no exception.<\/p><p>Authorizations are a particular area of risk: because applications are consolidated and optimized in S\/4HANA \u2013 and with the possible use of the SAP <a href=\"https:\/\/xiting.com\/en\/sap-knowledge\/sap-fiori\/\">Fiori Launchpad<\/a> \u2013 \u00a0obsolete or deprecated applications in roles must be replaced with new ones (see the SAP Simplification List). This means your existing role concepts must be reconciled with the Simplification List, and your roles must \u00a0be built in compliance with SU24. No manual or modified <a href=\"https:\/\/xiting.com\/en\/sap-knowledge\/sap-authorizations-explained\/sap-authorization-objects\/\">authorization objects<\/a> may be included in roles. Checking for \u00a0compliance with SAP standard and making the necessary adjustments are therefore essential for a successful migration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
