The Window to Migrate Without Pressure Closes in 2027

Candent’s S/4HANA migration practice moves you from ECC to a clean, integrated S/4HANA core, assessed, planned, and converted without the program risk that derails most transitions.

Our Capabilities

Assessment Through Go-Live on a Single Delivery Team

Migration Readiness Assessment

A structured assessment of your ECC landscape, custom code volume, integration dependencies, and data quality, producing a realistic scope, timeline, and risk register before the program begins.

Custom Code and Clean Core Analysis

We identify which custom code to retire, which to rewrite in ABAP Cloud, and which to move to SAP BTP extensions, protecting your clean core from day one.

Greenfield, Brownfield, and Selective Data Transition

We design the conversion approach that fits your business: a new build on RISE or GROW with SAP, a system conversion from ECC, or a selective transition that moves only what needs to move.

Integration Re-Architecture

ECC integrations built on PI/PO or point-to-point middleware rarely survive a migration intact. We redesign the integration layer on SAP Integration Suite as part of the migration program, not as a phase two.

Data Migration and Cutover Planning

Data extraction, transformation, and load designed against your actual data quality. Cutover sequenced, rehearsed, and signed off before go-live week.

Autonomous Enterprise Readiness

S/4HANA is the foundation, not the destination. We design the migration to support agentic AI, process automation, and real-time decision-making from go-live forward, so the new system works for the business, not just the IT team.

Designed For

Three Migration Situations Candent Is Built For

ECC on a long-term roadmap with no program started

The 2027 deadline is closer than most project timelines allow. A readiness assessment now defines what a realistic program looks like and whether there is time to run it before extended maintenance costs arrive.

A migration that has stalled or been descoped

Programs that stopped at blueprint or hit go-live delays typically failed in integration design, data quality, or scope management. We assess what went wrong and structure the recovery.

A complex landscape that standard migration approaches don’t fit

Multi-entity, multi-country, or acquisition-heavy ECC environments require conversion approaches that account for the complexity, not templates built for simpler clients.

How We Work

We Assess Before We Scope

No migration program at Candent begins with a fixed timeline and a standard statement of work. The right approach depends on your custom code volume, integration footprint, data quality, and business change tolerance.

Candent begins with a structured readiness assessment

From assessment to go-live plan, the scope is agreed before the program begins.

Why Candent for S/4HANA Migration

A Migration Scope You Can Actually Build a Program Around

S/4HANA migrations fail for predictable reasons: integration design that starts too late, custom code that was not assessed honestly, data quality problems discovered during load, and cutover plans built for a clean system rather than the actual one. Candent’s practice is structured around those failure points.
The consultants on your migration are the same consultants assessing your landscape. That continuity matters when the complexity shows up mid-program.
