Course Summary

SAP S/4HANA is SAP’s next-generation business suite, designed to help you run simple in a digital and networked world.

As an SAP customer or potential customer for SAP S/4HANA, you may be wondering how to migrate your data to SAP S/4HANA. In this 2-week course, we’ll give you an introduction to data migration and where it fits in with respect to the different SAP S/4HANA transition scenarios: “New Implementation”, “System Conversion”, and “Landscape Transformation”. A deep-dive into the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit and the migration object modeler will upskill you in the latest toolset. Finally, we’ll show you how you can enhance your data migration, for example with data quality features.

In the first week, we'll give you an introduction to data migration and its challenges, as well as an overview of the various sources of information you should consult, depending on your current needs. The focus of week 1 is the detailed explanation and system demos of the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit.

In week 2, we'll show you how to enhance the data migration, for example with additional content or data quality features, as well as data extraction and preparation. We’ll also introduce the rapid data migration to SAP S/4HANA (on-premise solution). The focus of week 2 is on using the migration object modeler. The migration object modeler is part of the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit and is designed to easily integrate custom objects and enhancements.

The goal of this openSAP course is to enable you to run your own data migration to SAP S/4HANA, both on-premise and in the cloud.
