Where do companies stand with their SAP S/4HANA migrations?
Approach: Which migration strategy do decision-makers choose?
The strengths of hybrid models – also known as the selective data transition approach – are becoming increasingly clear. In 2023, around a third of those surveyed in the PAC study describe the selective (hybrid) strategy as their preferred approach. For companies with revenues of EUR 1 billion or more, 45% are pursuing the selective or hybrid strategy (Research Services by Foundry 2022).
The greenfield approach is making a bit of a comeback: According to valantic (2023), 28% of the companies surveyed from the DACH region chose the greenfield approach, while the figure is as high as 44% in Europe as a whole (PAC 2023).
The various forms of the brownfield approach also remain an attractive option for some companies. Throughout Europe, a quarter of those surveyed opt for this approach (PAC 2023). In the German-speaking world, the trend is towards an extended brownfield approach that involves a more technical migration comprised of improvement and optimization initiatives.
