What is the SAP Brownfield Approach?
What is the SAP Brownfield Approach?
With the SAP Brownfield approach, you migrate your existing SAP system to SAP S/4HANA without rebuilding everything from scratch. Your data, processes, and custom code are kept and technically adapted.
In a nutshell: You keep your legacy system but bring it up to date technically and functionally.
What's the SAP Greenfield Approach?
The SAP Greenfield approach means you build a brand-new SAP S/4HANA system from the ground up. You don't carry over old processes or data – just what you truly need.
In a nutshell: You start fresh, leveraging best practices and the latest SAP processes.
