In the context of SAP S/4HANA, “brownfield” is used to describe a migration strategy where an existing SAP system is upgraded and moved into the new SAP S/4HANA platform. This means the current system has been running long enough that there are more than likely custom features or specific settings that should be preserved in the migration. This type of approach does value the system data, configurations, and customizations through a process that allows running business as usual post-migration to SAP S/4HANA, so that organizations can still take advantage of some of their existing SAP investments.
