IMPLEMENTATION APPROACHES
"I don't have
SAP today. I
might as well
implement the
newest
technology
platform."
GREENFIELD
"I have SAP
today. I don't
want to drag 20
years of best
practices into
future. We'll stay
inside-the-box
this time."
RE-
IMPLEMENT
"I've tired to stay
close to
standard over
the years. I
should be able
to upgrade and
migrate my
data pretty
easily."
STRAIGHT
MIGRATION
"I want to have
less in-the-box
when I get to
SAP S/4 HANA.
I'd like a new
model that
includes cloud
applications."
CONTRACT
TO CORE
"I think a new
deployment
model makes
sense. I'd like to
isolate major
processes and
move them at
different
timings."
FEDERATE
"I'm going to
first convert to
the SAP HANA
database and
maybe use the
new HCP
technology as
my first strp."
PLATFORM
FIRST
"I want to use
SAP HANA
technology to
address very
specific pain
points, and I can
use that
success to build
support."
