In this blog series,“The most common pitfalls when moving from SAP to S/4HANA” – we will discuss the seven most common pitfalls and explain how software testing as a service can help. Each week we cover one pitfall and explain how it can be avoided using software testing as a service.

Part 3: Avoid incomplete migration of data

There are several steps you can take for a successful migration of data from SAP to S/4HANA:

1. Plan the migration carefully: Start by creating a detailed project plan that includes all steps of the migration process.

2. Clean up your data: Before you begin the migration, take the time to clean up your data by removing unnecessary or obsolete records. This reduces the risk of errors during the migration process.

3. Use tools and utilities: SAP offers a range of tools and utilities that can help you migrate data from SAP to S/4HANA. These include the SAP Data Migration Cockpit, the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit and the SAP S/4HANA Migration Object Modeler.

4. Test your migration: Once you have migrated your data, it is important to test it thoroughly to ensure that everything has been migrated correctly and that all business processes are working as expected.

5. Monitor and optimize performance: After the migration is complete, monitor the performance of your S/4HANA system and optimize it as needed to ensure that it runs smoothly and efficiently.

By following these steps, you can contribute to a successful migration of data from SAP to S/4HANA.
