Navigating the SAP S/4HANA Migration: Splisys Strategies for a Seamless Transition

Navigating the SAP S/4HANA Migration: Splisys Strategies for a Seamless Transition

In today’s rapidly evolving digital era, staying ahead of the curve isn’t optional; it’s essential. For industries like Oil and gas, Mining, Manufacturing, and Retail, the transition to SAP S/4HANA is not just a tech upgrade; it’s a strategic necessity. But let’s face it—migration isn’t a plug-and-play affair. It’s complex and critical, and if mishandled, it can be catastrophic.

At Splisys, we’ve made it our mission to simplify this complexity.

With over two decades of SAP implementation excellence and deep vertical expertise, Splisys has developed tried-and-tested strategies that make SAP S/4HANA migration smooth, secure, and scalable. Whether on-premises, cloud, or hybrid, we help organizations migrate with minimal disruption and maximum impact.

Why Organizations Are Moving to SAP S/4HANA—Now More Than Ever

The clock is ticking. With SAP ending ECC support by 2027, organizations worldwide are accelerating their transition to SAP S/4HANA. But the urgency shouldn’t cloud the strategy.

  • 89% of businesses see digital transformation as a key strategic priority (source: SAP).
  • Yet only 30% of migrations meet all-time, cost, and business expectations (source: McKinsey).

This is where a partner like Splisys makes a measurable difference.

Splisys’ SAP S/4HANA Migration Philosophy: Precision Over Assumption

We differentiate ourselves by delivering tailored solutions because one-size-fits-all doesn’t work in transformation. Splisys has crafted a phased, industry-sensitive migration framework anchored on deep business understanding, risk mitigation, and measurable ROI.

Here’s our 5-Pillar Migration Strategy that has helped enterprises modernize their SAP landscape with confidence:

1. Comprehensive System Assessment & Business Readiness Check

Before we touch a single line of code, we analyze your current SAP and non-SAP systems. Our diagnostic tools assess:

  • Code complexity and custom module
  • Existing data structures
  • Business process compatibility with S/4HANA
  • Integration touch points across the ecosystem

Real Metric: In a recent Oil & Gas migration case, Splisys identified and eliminated 32% redundant custom code, saving substantial monetary value in technical debt.

2. Industry-Aligned Roadmap Planning

We align your migration journey with specific industry challenges:

  • Oil & Gas: Real-time asset tracking, regulatory reporting
  • Manufacturing: Predictive maintenance, MRP integration
  • Retail: Omnichannel consistency, inventory transparency
  • Mining: Safety compliance, resource optimization

Case Insight: A retail client reduced downtime by 18% post-migration using embedded analytics and IoT integrations via SAP S/4HANA.

3. Select the Right Deployment Model (Cloud, On-Prem, Hybrid)

We guide your enterprise toward the best-fit deployment:

  • SAP Cloud Migration for agility and scalability
  • On-Premises for organizations with tight compliance requirements
  • Hybrid for flexibility across geographies or business units

Pro Tip: 73% of our clients chose SAP S/4HANA Cloud due to lower TCO and faster innovation cycles.

4. Custom Code Optimization & Data Cleansing

Custom developments can derail any migration if not handled with care. We perform:

  • Code remediation using SAP’s ATC (ABAP Test Cockpit)
  • Data archiving and cleansing for migration relevance
  • Real-time data modelling using SAP Fiori and Embedded Analytics

Impact: A leading manufacturing company achieved 40% faster reporting after removing obsolete master data from legacy systems.

5. User Enablement & Post-Go-Live Stabilization

Migration fails if users can’t adapt. We invest in:

  • Role-based training sessions
  • Go-live support (Hypercare phase)
  • Automated testing with SAP Test Automation Tools

Human Insight: 92% of end-users at a retail client rated the post-go-live experience “seamless and intuitive” due to our customized training modules.

Our Toolkit: Technology Meets Execution

We leverage tools like:

  • SAP Readiness Check
  • SAP Activate Methodology
  • SAP Solution Manager
  • Tricentis for automated testing
  • RISE with SAP advisory for holistic transformation

At Splisys, strategy meets execution through a robust framework supported by the right tools and a team that’s seen it all.
