My Personal key takeaways from this guide which hopefully can help many of you –
Making strategic choices with respect to deployment path to S/4HANA – Customers with the SAP ERP application havethe choice among system conversion ~ Brownfield Conversion, new implementation ~ Greenfield Conversion, and selective data transition. (Many of them do call this as Blue Field Conversion/Hybrid approach)
Cloud adoptions is key decisions when planning your digital transformation toward SAP S/4HANA Cloud product you would like to implement – SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition or SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition.
