Many companies want to migrate to SAP S/4HANA but fear a disruptive, all-at-once transition. To address this concern, SAP offers Business Suite Packages, a way to migrate in smaller, manageable steps tailored to each organization.
This phased approach lets businesses transition gradually, starting with the most critical modules or processes and expanding progressively into a full S/4HANA landscape.

What is phased migration?
A phased or package-based migration allows companies to:
- Keep parts of their SAP ECC while launching S/4HANA in specific areas.
- Activate new functionalities without disrupting legacy processes.
- Manage risk, cost, and change load more effectively.
Key benefits:
- Risk reduction: gradual change means fewer critical errors.
- Flexibility: adapt to your company’s internal readiness.
- Higher adoption: teams adjust progressively.
- Budget control: investment is spread across phases.
