What is SAP S/4HANA Implementation?
SAP S/4HANA is the current enterprise ERP solution provided by SAP. SAP S/4HANA Implementation covers the deployment and configuration of the solution. Currently deployment methods include system conversion (sometimes called a brownfield deployment), new implementation (greenfield deployment), and selective data transition.
Steps to a successful SAP S/4HANA implementation include evaluating tools, SAP Readiness Check for SAP S/4HANA, SAP Fiori, SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, data volume management, custom code conversion, landscape selection, infrastructure evaluation, security overview, and performance monitoring. It is also important to determine whether extensibility or customization will be used to make modifications to the solution to support organizational needs.

Key Considerations for SAPinsiders:
- How do you decide which of the different deployment models for SAP S/4HANA makes the most sense for your organization? SAP supports three different deployment models for SAP S/4HANA: a system conversion that takes the data and configuration from your existing SAP ECC system and moves them into SAP S/4HANA; a new implementation that brings no existing configuration information into the new system; and a selective data transition that brings configuration information from the existing system but allows data to be moved selectively into the new SAP S/4HANA implementation. This paneldiscusses the benefits of each of these approaches, so you can determine which is best for you.
- It’s important that you prepare your data for an SAP S/4HANA implementation. When moving to SAP S/4HANA, it’s important to understand your existing data landscape. Where is your data located? How much do you need to bring into SAP S/4HANA? How do you prepare your data for the move? How do you determine whether your data is actually clean? And how can you ensure that the move is successful. This event session walks you through the process of getting your data ready for an SAP S/4HANA implementation and provides best practices for making sure that the implementation goes smoothly.
- More than just doing the deployment, it is important to make sure that your organization has the right skills in place for your SAP S/4HANA implementation. What skills should you focus on as you prepare for the move to SAP S/4HANA? Are change management skills a necessity? What skills do you need to leverage SAP S/4HANA once it has been implemented? What are the best steps to prepare for the move to SAP S/4HANA? What does an organization need to do in the broader sense to prepare for an SAP S/4HANA implementation? This panel discussion covers these points to help you ensure that you are fully prepared for your next implementation.

How Roche Refocused the World’s Largest SAP S/4HANA Project with SAFe®Oct 22, 2025 — SAP S/4HANA deployments can stall or fail because of complexity, competing priorities, or a lack of alignment between business and IT. This makes it vital for every organization to understand how they should approach an SAP S/4HANA project from the start to provide the best possible opportunity for success. This includes understanding why large SAP S/4HANA projects can stall or lose momentum, how challenges can be avoided, and how leaders should recognize when it is time to pause and reset. Most important is having strategies that will help ensure business and IT teams are aligned during a complex, global transformation project.
Roche experienced these challenges when the company found that progress in their own SAP S/4HANA project had been minimal after the first year. Instead of pushing ahead, the leadership team paused, evaluated, and restarted with a new strategy powered by SAFe® practices. The change transformed a stalled project into a steady delivery across 95 countries and 260 affiliates, making it one of the largest and most successful SAP S/4HANA transitions worldwide.
Watch this session to hear how Roche was able to turn setbacks into success and the lessons that you can apply to your own SAP S/4HANA moves.
By watching this session, you will:
- Understand the factors that caused Roche’s original SAP S/4HANA project to stall and the decisions behind the reset.
- Identify the steps Roche took to refocus, simplify scope, and regain momentum.
- Apply Roche’s lessons to reduce risk and accelerate progress in your own SAP S/4HANA deployments.
- Outline leadership actions that strengthen alignment between business and IT during global ERP transformations.
