Is a “Trickle Migration” the Right Approach for You?

🗺️ Phased is Feasible: Country-by-country SAP S/4HANA migration reduces disruption and addresses local requirements effectively.

🔗 Data Consistency Matters: Ensure robust integration between ECC and S/4HANA to avoid data discrepancies during phased rollouts.

📆 Templates Save Time: Creating a global template first prevents repeated customisations and keeps phased rollouts efficient.

🧩 Hybrid Strategies Work: Combining phased and big-bang approaches lets you tailor the migration to your business priorities.

🗣️ Stakeholders are Crucial: Continuous communication and strong governance help maintain momentum and minimise change fatigue throughout migrations.
