Who are you

System Conversion, New Implementation, or Selective Data Transition.

SAP names three routes to S/4HANA. Neptune’s role is different in each one, and in one of them it matters less.
Worth being clear about which you are in before you plan anything.

System Conversion

Brownfield
Convert the system you have, in place. History and configuration come with you.

Applications you build now convert with the system and keep running. Nothing built on ECC is thrown away.

Selective Data Transition

SDT
A middle route. Selected data and processes move into a new system.
You are already choosing what to carry across, and the application layer is normally something you keep rather than rebuild.

cards-v2-bg4
icon

New Implementation

Greenfield
A clean S/4HANA system, with selected data moved in.
A greenfield build is a deliberate reset, so apps built on ECC are a bridge for the years before cutover rather than a permanent asset.

Why wait to innovate?

S/4HANA Migration is Inevitable.
Innovation Does Not Have to Wait.

Neptune enables rapid app development that’s fully SAP-native, letting you modernize, extend, and mobilize SAP systems without disrupting your clean core. Build mission-critical business apps faster and more securely.​
