WBSP928: Scale Growth by Learning from SAP S/4HANA Data Readiness, an Objective Panel Review

Modern SAP S/4HANA transformation programs increasingly emphasize the Clean Core strategy, which aims to minimize customizations, simplify upgrades, and improve long-term architectural flexibility. However, achieving a Clean Core is far more complex than simply adopting standardized cloud capabilities or migrating legacy data into a new platform. Many organizations must reconcile decades of custom developments, fragmented business processes, inconsistent master data, duplicate data structures, and deeply embedded integrations with SAP’s evolving architecture. As a result, data transformation becomes a critical engineering and governance challenge rather than a straightforward migration activity. Hidden structural inconsistencies, undocumented dependencies, and poor data quality often lead to repeated cleansing, mapping, and validation cycles, increasing implementation costs and delaying go-live timelines. Successful SAP S/4HANA modernization requires a disciplined approach to data architecture, process standardization, customization rationalization, and governance to ensure that organizations achieve the intended benefits of Clean Core without carrying legacy complexity into their new environment.
