On the technical side, migration to SAP S/4HANA redefines data aggregation using the in-memory capabilities of the SAP HANA database. This allows for a reduction of data footprint because calculations for transactions are performed on the database layer instead of the traditional application layer on an ad hoc basis.
Before moving to S/4HANA, customers should plan their resources and educate their IT resources to bring them up to the required level, so that they can adopt early and assist business to adopt the changes. Business users who have been using ECC for decades will always find it challenging to change the processes established over time. Within the company's IT organization, IT people need subject knowledge to educate business, so business can adapt to new changes and leave their decade-old comfort of SAP transactions behind. In a nutshell, using the SAP-provided tool DMO of SUM, you can migrate directly from ECC (any EHP) to S/4HANA Enterprise Management. Strategic decisions on enabling S/4HANA innovations will need change management through adoption, while traditional capabilities or SAP Business Suite on HANA remain available as compatibility scope, leaving the extent of change management to be decided at the time of system conversion.
