We develop your strategy together – as a roadmap to a digital future
The transition to SAP S/4HANA is far more than a purely IT-related project – it is a strategic milestone for mid-sized companies to modernize business processes, integrate new technologies, and secure long-term competitiveness.
For this transformation to succeed, a well-thought-out SAP strategy and a clear implementation plan tailored to your company are essential. This is exactly where .XPN comes in: From the very beginning, we support you in planning your individual roadmap, analyzing your existing system landscape, and jointly defining the optimal transformation path.
Transformation Approaches
Revolution or Smooth Transition?
The Right
Transformation Approach
Whether Brownfield (system conversion), Greenfield (new implementation), or Bluefield (selective data migration) – we show you which path best fits your requirements, objectives, and resources.
The Optimal
Operating Architecture
We also advise you on selecting the appropriate operating model: on-premise, public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid scenarios – each architecture has its strengths, and we help you identify the optimal combination for your needs.
Transformation with Experience
and Vision
With our deep SAP expertise, technological foresight, and holistic understanding of business processes, we guide you step by step through your S/4HANA transformation – structured, future-oriented, and delivering real added value for your company.
Transformation Approaches in Detail
The Brownfield approach represents the technical system conversion of an existing SAP ERP system to SAP S/4HANA. Data, processes, and customizations are largely retained – ideal for companies wishing to preserve their workflows and implement the transition quickly and resource-efficiently. Despite potential legacy components, the effort remains manageable and project complexity limited.
The Greenfield approach describes a complete new implementation of SAP S/4HANA without adopting existing systems. Processes and system architecture are redesigned from scratch – free of legacy constraints and based on best practices. Ideal for companies seeking to modernize their operations and build a future-ready, streamlined SAP landscape.
Der Bluefield-Ansatz kombiniert Brownfield- und Greenfield-Strategien für den Umstieg auf SAP S/4HANA. Das System wird technisch neu aufgesetzt, während ausgewählte Daten, Prozesse und Anpassungen gezielt übernommen werden. So lassen sich Altlasten vermeiden und bewährte Strukturen erhalten. Der Ansatz bietet hohe Flexibilität – ideal für Unternehmen mit komplexen Systemlandschaften oder internationalen Rollouts.
.XPN Readiness Check Workshop –
Your Path to Greater Efficiency
The SAP Readiness Check is an SAP analysis tool that supports companies in preparing for migration from SAP ERP (e.g., ECC 6.0) to SAP S/4HANA. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the current ERP system and indicates whether and how well the system is technically and functionally prepared for transformation.
The objective is to identify potential risks, required adjustments, and recommended measures at an early stage – forming the basis for sound project planning.
