Built to Move – Why you can modernize SAP ECC today without building everything twice.

Ask most SAP teams still running ECC why they have not built new operational applications, and they will give a version of the same answer: they would only have to build it again on S/4HANA.

It is a reasonable objection. It is also the reason inspections are still done on paper, stock counts still go on clipboards, and approvals still sit in email while the migration business case works its way through committee.

This guide takes that assumption apart. It shows what actually lands in S/4HANA migration scope and what does not, where modernizing operational work pays off first, and how to build so that what gets created survives the move.

What's Inside:

• Why modernization stopped being a project with an end date and became a continuous capability
• Where operational work actually happens today, and the six process areas that make the best starting points
• What AI can and cannot do in an SAP environment right now, including the parts most vendors leave out
• The rebuild myth: which custom logic enters migration scope, and which stays out of it
• When side-by-side services are the right choice, and when SAP-native execution fits better
• How Saint-Gobain digitized planning and forecasting while still on ECC, cutting planning cycles from two weeks to two days
• A framework for choosing the first use case, and the three questions that decide whether it lasts

Written for CIOs, SAP architects, and transformation leads whose business runs on ECC and who cannot put operational improvement on hold until S/4HANA arrives.
