Migrating from an on-premises SAP ERP (ECC) 6 system to SAP S/4HANA in the cloud is a huge project. In my years as a NetApp SAP Solutions Architect, I have seen that planning the migration schedule and reducing downtime are critical for success. Many companies must complete the conversion during a weekend – often within 48 hours – to avoid disrupting their daily business operations. In this article, I share practical advice and personal insights on how to plan your migration schedule and minimize downtime. I will explain key techniques using SAP’s standard tools like SUM DMO and Near-Zero Downtime Maintenance (nZDM) along with NetApp SnapMirror for data replication. I will also compare how these methods work on AWS, Azure, and GCP in a way that is easy to understand.
