What is the SAP Brownfield approach?
What is the SAP Brownfield approach?
The SAP Brownfield approach means that you migrate your existing SAP system to SAP S/4HANA without having to rebuild everything from scratch. Your data, processes, and custom code are preserved and technically adapted.
In short: You keep your old system, but update it to the latest standards in terms of technology and functionality.
What is the SAP Greenfield Approach?
The SAP Greenfield approach means that you build a new SAP S/4HANA system entirely from scratch. Old processes and data are not carried over—only what you really need.
In short: You'll start from scratch, using best practices and state-of-the-art SAP processes.
