S/4HANA Migration Completed – But What Happens to Your Legacy Data?
After migrating to S/4HANA, you face a critical challenge: What happens to your historical ERP data from legacy systems? These systems often contain valuable business data that must be retained for legal or operational reasons. At the same time, they generate high licensing and operational costs while tying up valuable IT resources.
Without a well-planned SAP system decommissioning strategy, legacy systems tend to stay active longer than necessary – a costly and inefficient scenario.
