ERP transformations are often treated as a purely technical exercise. However, their success is decided elsewhere: in the deliberate decision about what is actually carried into the future.

Many organizations start with clear objectives: simplifying processes, harmonizing structures, and building a future-ready ERP landscape. Yet during the project, the focus often shifts. Technical feasibility, time pressure, and existing dependencies lead to significantly more being transferred than originally planned. Historical data, legacy elements, and accumulated complexity remain, just in a new system.

The result is a modern ERP landscape that still follows the logic of the past.

What you will gain

In this session, we explore why successful transformations do not start with migration, but with the ability to make consistent and well-founded decisions. We will show you:

• Why data-related decisions are a key lever for transformation success
• How to avoid migrating the “logic of the past” into new systems
• How Selective Data Transition (SDT) enables active transformation control instead of purely technical execution
• How to design an ERP landscape that authentically reflects your future organization

You will gain a clear understanding of how ERP transformations can be executed not only successfully from a technical perspective, but also correctly from a strategic one, enabling a more focused, controlled, and future-ready system landscape that forms the foundation for sustainable business transformation.
