The fast way to S/4 HANA

Targeted reduction of existing systems, simplification of system landscapes, elimination of legacy systems, and rapid migration of relevant data to a new S/4 system: The SAP Business Transformation Center offers a fast and standardized path to SAP S/4HANA.

But the question for companies is: Which transformation scenarios can be successfully implemented with this approach?

We help you make the right decision – and accompany you throughout your entire transformation journey.

SAP BTC is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

With the SAP Business Transformation Center, SAP offers a standardized, tool-supported approach for the transformation to S/4HANA: the “Lean Selective Data Transition.” SAP BTC is a newly developed, web-based software for providing a limited number of standardized transformation scenarios from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, including:

The goal is to selectively filter data and transfer it to an empty S/4HANA system. BTC is intentionally limited – it is only suitable for clearly defined scenarios.

Typical use cases for SAP Business Transformation Center

BTC is particularly suitable for clearly defined scenarios:
Selective data migration at company code level
Standardized transformation from SAP ECC to S/4HANA
Targeted reduction of legacy data in defined scenarios

Technology follows strategy: Your transformation roadmap

Every successful transformation begins with a clear strategic direction: technology follows strategy, not the other way around. We evaluate your transformation independently of individual tools and develop a robust basis for decision-making.

Our approach combines strategic analysis, a decision-making framework, and project methodology in a clearly structured process. The result: a well-structured, low-risk path that offers maximum decision certainty for your transformation.

Analysis of the initial situation

We identify system landscape, data structure, business processes, risks and dependencies, and create a sound basis for further transformation.

Definition of the target picture

We define business requirements, harmonization potentials and innovation goals, and align expectations between the business department and IT.

Evaluation of transformation options

We examine SAP BTC, Selective Data Transition (SDT), cbs Enterprise Transformer, System Conversion and Greenfield for their suitability and assess technical, strategic and functional requirements.

Project approach and implementation

We accompany all phases from assessment through strategy and design to implementation, and implement the appropriate approach using BTC, SDT or hybrid.

When standard isn't enough: Selective Data Transition with full flexibility

For many transformation scenarios, a standardized approach like BTC is insufficient. This is where our Selective Data Transition (SDT) comes in, supported by our proprietary software solution, cbs ET Enterprise Transformer.

The cbs standard software offers comprehensive support for all types of data transformations (harmonization, splitting, merging, deletion) regardless of source or target systems. It is highly customizable to meet specific customer requirements, enabling virtually any type of transformation. This allows us to create true end-to-end transformation, rather than a purely technical data migration.

Flexible selection and transformation of data
Harmonization of processes and structures
Merging or separating systems
Transformation across multiple systems
