From Simple Landscapes to System Mazes: SAP Migration at Every Scale

Each enterprise's approach to implementing an SAP migration is unique; for instance, a small company might focus mainly on time and simplicity, whereas a major corporation will face more complex data and integration issues to tackle alongside the need to maintain a high level of compliance. That means a careful migration plan is needed in such cases.

 

a)    Keeping the system as it was

 

Brownfield Migration means that the migration of an existing SAP system is done to a new version, keeping as much of the existing configuration, data, and workflows as possible through the change. This type of migration could be good for those companies that desire to limit disruption of business operations and achieve as little system change as possible through the system change.

 

b)    Beginning with nothing but your imagination

 

Goldfield Migration is a clean slate migration. One might imagine this as a perfect method for those organizations that want to take a fresh new look, get rid of the obsolete, and have the same workflows in the system at a standard level.

 

c)     Choosing what really matters

 

Bluefield Migration is a middle-of-the-road way of doing it; it permits selecting what is of value to keep and what needs to be redesigned or replaced if those elements don't serve any purpose now. In this way, the balance of change and continuity is achievable.

 

d)    Deciding the migration strategy based on the company size

 

In choosing a migration path from Visionsoft, the size of the company, complexity of the system, amount of data, budget, and degree of transformation to be achieved are among the key considerations. One small company may prefer a simple approach; on the contrary, big companies with branches worldwide will probably have a lot to plan, test, manage integrations, and coordinate with the stakeholders.
