Successful migration from SAP EWM SCM to EWM S/4HANA: A guide for companies

Successful migration from SAP EWM SCM to EWM S/4HANA: A guide for companies

The necessity of change

The discontinuation of SAP ERP 6.0 and the resulting need to migrate to SAP S/4HANA presents companies with a significant challenge. Especially in the area of intralogistics, where SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) plays a central role, companies must now act quickly in order not to lose touch. However, switching from SAP EWM SCM to EWM S/4HANA is more than just a technical upgrade – it offers the opportunity to optimise processes, increase efficiency and move to a future-proof platform.

The switch to SAP EWM S/4HANA: opportunities and challenges

Migrating to SAP S/4HANA is a critical step that enables companies to leverage advanced technologies such as real-time reporting, integrated analytics and optimised workflows. SAP EWM on S/4HANA offers enhanced functionality that goes beyond the traditional capabilities of SAP EWM SCM. Companies benefit from improved scalability and flexibility, enabling them to respond to rapidly changing market requirements.

However, the changeover also brings challenges. Migration requires thorough planning and precise execution in order to minimise risks such as system downtime, data loss and user acceptance issues. This is where the proven LogiPlus migration methodology comes in.

Core components of the LogiPlus migration methodology:

Analysis of the existing SAP EWM environment

The first step in any migration project is a detailed analysis of the current system landscape. LogiPlus identifies potential challenges and develops a customised roadmap that covers all relevant aspects of the migration.

Holistic approach

The LogiPlus methodology covers all phases of the migration process – from data migration and system integration to process customisation and user training. This ensures a seamless and efficient transition.

Practical solutions

By integrating case studies and real-life examples, LogiPlus shows how other companies have successfully overcome similar challenges. These practical insights are particularly valuable for companies preparing for their own migration.

Risk and change management

The LogiPlus methodology also includes strategies to minimize risks such as system downtime and data integrity issues. In addition, great emphasis is placed on change management to ensure a high level of user acceptance.

Best practices and lessons learned

In any migration project, best practices and lessons learned from previous projects are crucial for success. LogiPlus has accompanied a large number of migrations in recent years and has gathered important insights that have now been incorporated into the current methodology. The focus here is particularly on

  • Minimisation of downtimes: Precise planning and step-by-step implementation can reduce downtime to a minimum so that ongoing operations remain largely undisturbed.
  • Ensuring data integrity: The secure migration of data is a critical success factor. LogiPlus uses advanced tools and methods to ensure the integrity of data throughout the migration process.
  • User acceptance: A successful migration depends not only on the technology, but also on user acceptance. Through targeted training and change management strategies, LogiPlus ensures that employees can use the new processes quickly and effectively.

Why migration is worthwhile

The switch from SAP EWM SCM to EWM S/4HANA is more than a necessity – it is an opportunity to optimise your own processes and future-proof your company. With the support of LogiPlus, companies can successfully master this transition and take full advantage of the numerous benefits of SAP S/4HANA.
