Choosing between system conversion or
a new implementation plan


Brownfield, greenfield, or something else? Start here to learn which implementation plan, system migration or
deployment option is right for your organization.

New Implementation (Greenfield)

This approach is best for customers looking to take advantage of SAP S/4HANA to re-engineer their processes and return to standard functionality and industry best practices. Start with a fresh implementation of SAP S/4HANA and migrate data from your legacy ERP deployments


System Conversion (Brownfield)

Typically the fastest option, a brownfield approach converts any SAP ECC 6.x system running on any database to SAP S/4HANA, preserving your existing configuration, customizations, and historical data. This approach allows a rapid technical conversion, adding innovations gradually for users.


Hybrid approach

For organizations combining many ERP sysems into SAP S/4HANA, the hybrid approach combines what you need from a system conversion and new implementation using Nephostack SAP partner solutions and services. This allows you to transform your ERP landscape by geography or company code.
