SAP S/4 HANA Transformation 

Whether you are looking for an SAP S/4HANA Finance expert for a Greenfield, Brownfield, or Bluefield project, I hold SAP credentials and have successfully completed multiple SAP S/4HANA On-Premise and Private Cloud projects since 2015. These projects span various versions and industries, ranging from mid-sized to large organizations.

I was also part of Suncor Energy’s SAP S/4HANA project, which is recognized as one of the largest and most complex implementations in Canada.

SAP S/4 HANA Transformation Scenarios

Greenfield Approach

Greenfield AKA new implementation is like builting a net new house on a piece of land..Adopting this approach allows customers to start fresh, adopting a clean core from the beginning.                                                                                                                                                                                                        Ideal For :Organizations wanting a fresh start with S/4HANA: complete process redesign, adopting SAP best practices, and leaving behind legacy customizations and data.

 

 

 

Brownfield Approach 

Brownfield AKA system conversion is like upgrading /renovating your already existing house with new features,walls,etc

 

When choosing Brownfield approach it is important to know that this can be available for private edition and On-premise ,Public edition cannot be choosen.                                                                                                                                                                           Ideal For:Organizations wanting to keep existing ERP configuration, data, and processes, doing a technical upgrade to S/4HANA with minimal disruption.

Bluefield Approach 

Bluefield AKA Selective data transition is a combination of Greenfield and Brownfield Approaches. It is like taking your current house and moving only the best parts -your favorite rooms, valuable furniture, historical bricks into a new custom-built house. At the same time, you redesign the layout to suit your new lifestyle. You don’t start entirely from scratch, and you don’t keep everything – you choose what matters.                                                                                                                                                              Ideal for : Organizations wanting single S/4HANA instance with historical data & redesigned processes—balancing reuse and innovation.

 

 

SAP S/4HANA Central Finance AKA Sidecar Approach/ Finance-First Approach

SAP S/4HANA Central Finance is a deployment option that allows organizations to implement S/4HANA Finance centrally while continuing to operate their existing ERP systems (SAP or non-SAP) across the landscape. Instead of a full-scale system conversion, Central Finance enables selected financial data—such as general ledger postings, cost objects, and profit center data—to be replicated in real time or near real time into a central S/4HANA instance.

This approach is ideal for large enterprises with heterogeneous system landscapes, as it supports a phased digital transformation by centralizing finance processes (e.g., group reporting, central payments, or central receivables) without disrupting existing operations.

Ideal for : Organizations with multiple ERPs seeking quick, consolidated financial reporting & central processes before full migration to S/4 HANA.
