But the future lies in the cloud. With SAP S/4HANA Cloud, you transition to a modern, intelligent platform packed with real-time insights and AI. Ready to make the move? Or would you rather explore the possibilities first? We help you create a tailored S/4HANA migration roadmap. ## Prepare your S/4HANA migration The move from SAP ECC to S/4HANA is more than a technical upgrade. It’s an opportunity to modernize your processes, accelerate innovation, and respond flexibly to change. But how do you approach that S/4HANA migration? Discover [5 essential steps](https://www.flexso.com/en/insights-blog/sap_ecc_cloud) to smartly and thoughtfully prepare your move to the cloud, from choosing the right migration path to optimizing your master data and licenses. ![Flexso x Kaneka: Transforming business with SAP S/4HANA](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TrEVKmcJCAE/hqdefault.jpg) Ready to watch?

How we implement SAP S/4HANA depends on your current setup, business needs, and available resources. The transition can happen at your own pace, in a phased approach or all at once. Possible paths include: - **Step-by-step conversion (brownfield):** Migrate systems and processes one-to-one from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, and later to the cloud. - **Hybrid migration:** Keep what works (processes, code, data), renew what’s needed, and gradually evolve to SAP S/4HANA Cloud. - **Fresh start (greenfield):** Build a completely new system based on S/4HANA Cloud from scratch.
