OVERVIEW
A greenfield implementation means building a new S/4HANA system from scratch rather than converting an existing one. It is the right choice when current processes no longer fit, when the old system is heavily customised or when you are moving from a non-SAP ERP.
Starting fresh lets you adopt SAP best practices, simplify processes, reduce custom code and start with clean data. The trade-off is that more business change is involved, and historical data is usually not migrated in full.
Webtel runs greenfield projects with SAP Activate and fit-to-standard workshops, so new processes are agreed quickly and grounded in what S/4HANA does well.
Webtel helps you make this decision based on facts. We look at your system, data, custom code, business priorities and budget, explain the options in plain language and give you a recommendation you can take to your board, together with a realistic plan.

FAQS
When processes need redesign, the old system is heavily customised or you are moving from a non-SAP ERP.
Usually it stays accessible in the old system or an archive, while open items and balances move to S/4HANA.
Not always. It involves more change, but less effort in fixing old code.
Mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC 6.0 ends after 2027, with optional extended maintenance available until the end of 2030. Many companies are planning their move now to avoid a rush.
It depends on the approach, the size of your system and the amount of custom code. We give you a realistic plan after an assessment.
Some elements can change, but the core choice should be made early. A good assessment reduces the risk of changing course mid-project.
