Have you been told otherwise?
If you fall for a temptingly simplistic story that’s mainly or only about “loading” data then you’ll wildly underestimate the effort of data migration. It happens every day. Getting it right begins with understanding the touchpoints of repeatable process.
I am not “all-in” on SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit.
Analysts warn that 83% of all data migration projects either fail or significantly exceed budgets. Like a poker table full of serious faces in a swanky casino, the stakes in data migration are sky high. Before going all-in on a single bet of such consequence, you’d better consider the big picture.
Yes, I understand that it’s the recommended tool for loading data into SAP S/4HANA, and has been for 5 years. And — for as many years — it’s been touted as the successor to Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW), which is no longer considered strategic. It’s not that SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit isn’t usable. After five years of steady revision, it’s achieved that mark, albeit with constraints. And it introduces important innovation, such as Direct Transfer, to transfer data directly from an SAP system. That’s all super-good news, but it’s insufficient information.
