cbs specialises in hybrid transformation paths for organisations transitioning from SAP ECC or complex, multi‑system landscapes to SAP S/4HANA. These transformation journeys are rarely one‑size‑fits‑all; they must balance the need for innovation with the reality of existing systems, data, and business continuity.
It's suitable for multi-country or multi-system landscapes
It allows customers having more flexibility than greenfield or brownfield.
It enables organisations that requires data continuity.
Organisations adopting the System Landscape Transformation (SLT) approach can modernise their SAP environment without interrupting day‑to‑day operations. SLT allows businesses to reshape and optimise their system landscape while keeping the organisation running.
A useful way to think about this is, renovating an office while employees continue working. You can redesign layouts, consolidate functions, separate processes, or relocate operations in phases without shutting the business down. This approach provides flexibility to restructure and modernise at scale while maintaining operational stability throughout the transformation.
Organisations adopting the Selective Data Transition (SDT) approach do not need to start from scratch. Instead, SDT allows businesses to move to SAP S/4HANA while selectively carrying forward what continues to deliver value. A helpful way to think about this is moving to a new house with only the items you need, rather than relocating everything.
For example, organisations may migrate recent and relevant historical data, such as the last few years of sales transactions, while securely archiving older data. This approach avoids a full system overhaul, reduces disruption to daily operations, and enables a smoother transition while maintaining business continuity.
Understanding the different hybrid approaches available is essential to selecting a path that minimises risk, preserves business value, and supports long‑term strategic goals. With deep experience across diverse transformation scenarios, cbs helps organisations navigate this complexity with clarity and confidence.
Whether it is consolidating disparate ERP systems into a single, unified platform, managing the complexity of carve-ins and carve-outs during mergers and acquisitions, or executing precise entity, plant, or company code migrations, cbs brings the technical depth and project discipline to get it done without disruption. Beyond the structural changes, we also drive process harmonisation across business units which replaces inconsistent, localised workflows with standardised operations that scale. The result is a cleaner, leaner data landscape that reflects how your business actually runs today.
