Digital training webinar: Navigating the SAP to S/4HANA Journey
Navigating the SAP to S/4HANA Journey: Building the Business Case, Roadmap, and Change Strategy for a Successful ECC6 Transformation
Introduction
Delivered by Project One’s SAP ECC to S/4HANA: Your Strategic Blueprint for the 2027 Deadline experts, this webinar will share practical insights, lessons learned, and key red flags to avoid. If you’re looking for clarity and confidence in navigating your S/4HANA journey, this is a session not to be missed.
Moving from SAP ECC6 to S/4HANA is one of the biggest transformations organisations will face in the coming years. With mainstream ECC6 support ending in 2027, the clock is ticking for action. This isn’t a simple “lift and shift” – it’s a full business transformation that requires the right business case, roadmap, systems integrator, and a clear change strategy.

Why attend?
We will deep dive into:
Preparing for S/4HANA transition and getting the business case right
Building the business case is often the hardest part of any ECC6 to S/4HANA programme. We will explore why the business case is more than numbers and how to frame measurable benefits, as well as how early stakeholder engagement and alignment to the wider digital strategy can make all the difference.
Shaping the roadmap from ECC6 to S/4HANA
An S/4HANA migration is not just about technology, it is about shaping the future of your business. This section looks at how to define outcomes first, not just systems, and how to set clarity around “Day One” readiness. We will also show why adopting a “fit to standard” approach can accelerate delivery and reduce complexity.
Maximising and optimising your SI support
Choosing and managing the right systems integrator (SI) can make or break your transformation. We will share the realities of SI selection, what to look for beyond the pitch, and how to manage the relationship once the SI is onboard, ensuring governance, knowledge transfer, and change management are embedded from the start.
ECC6 to S/4HANA Transformation – why effective change management matters
S/4HANA is not just a new system, it reshapes processes, mindsets, and culture. Without effective change management, adoption will stall, and benefits will be lost. Discover proven approaches that reduce resistance, accelerate adoption, and ensure the transformation delivers lasting value.
Key red flags to consider when moving from SAP ECC6 to S/4HANA
Too many organisations underestimate the scale of moving to S/4HANA. In this closing section we highlight the critical red flags that can derail programmes and how to mitigate these risks.
