SAP S/4HANA Selective Data Transition (SDT)

Your Smooth and Selective Migration to SAP S/4HANA

Selective Data Transition – in short SDT – is also known as SAP Landscape Transformation and helps you to reduce costs, it boosts your transparency, streamlines your ERP, and future-proofs your business. We show you how it works.

Selective Data Transition to SAP S/4HANA

SAP SDT: Making Your Move to SAP S/4HANA More Efficient

Many companies are still running SAP ERP ECC systems. That’s not only less efficient than relying on more up to date technology, but also maintenance will end in 2027. You are aware that you need to plan your data migration to SAP S/4HANA now – but the migration process presents itself as challenging and resource intensive.

With an SDT and help from our SAP Landscape Transformation experts, you can move to SAP S/4HANA smoothly and efficiently – with almost zero downtime until going live. Read on to learn more about Selective Data Transition or contact our experts to talk about your migration to SAP S/4HANA.

What Exactly Is SAP Selective Data Transition?

Instead of moving all your data to SAP S/4HANA, the SAP SDT approach offers you the possibility to accurately select the data sets your business needs and, furthermore, schedule the transitional process on a fixed date and timeline. By moving selectively, you can get rid of obsolete or corruptive data as well as inactive organization units – which allows a streamlined moving process for a phased go-live and provides you with a leaner ERP landscape in the future.

This so-called SAP Landscape Transformation also makes the consolidation of several ERP systems to one central SAP S/4HANA system easier and more efficient by identifying the most important data for moving based on valuable analysis insights.

SDT combines the benefits of a New Implementation (Greenfield) and a System Conversion (Brownfield) while minimizing their constraints like losing important information or moving all the data.

Benefits of SAP SDT at a Glance

Smooth Transition to SAP S/4HANA

The Selective Approach offers the option for a phased go-live, depending on your organizational structure and business plans. Thereby, risks or potential downtimes that might occur during a large-scale switch to SAP S/4HANA get minimized. Thus, Selective Data Transition allows you to keep up your daily work processes throughout the transition.

Streamlined Processes and Systems

SAP SDT gives you the opportunity to decide which specific data you want to migrate. Get rid of old organizational processes and inconsistent data sets while retaining only what is essential for your future requirements. Take the chance to restructure, update, and harmonize your business – for a streamlined moving process and leaner systems in the future.

Cost Reduction & Efficiency Boost

Merging various ERP systems (SAP or non-SAP systems) into one central SAP S/4HANA platform with the help of SDT reduces overall maintenance costs while boosting transparency and efficiency. This is also a great benefit, if you want to perform a business merger or carve-out.

On-Premise or Cloud-Based Hosting

Migrating to SAP S/4HANA with SDT gives you the choice to decide whether you would like to store and administer your data on-premise or in a private or hybrid cloud. If you choose the latter and decide for an SAP S/4HANA cloud solution, you can assign us for the maintenance of your cloud infrastructure with our broad portfolio of Managed Cloud Services – depending on how much effort you want to invest for the administration process.
