OVERVIEW
Not every company fits neatly into greenfield or brownfield. Some want to keep certain configuration and history but redesign other areas, merge or split companies, or move in waves.
A selective data transition creates a new S/4HANA system, often from a shell copy of the existing configuration, and then moves selected data into it, such as chosen company codes, time periods or business units. It typically uses specialist tools and services from SAP or partners.
Webtel helps you assess whether this approach fits and plans the transition with the appropriate tools.
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.
