Start with business constraints
Define what must remain stable, what must change and how much downtime or historical-data change the organisation can tolerate.

How to Choose an S/4HANA Migration Partner in the UK
What UK organisations should look for in an S/4HANA migration partner before committing to a migration path, delivery model or cutover date.
WHY IT MATTERS
The decision behind the question
The migration partner should do more than run a technical conversion. Brownfield, greenfield and selective transition change the risk profile for processes, historical data, custom code, integrations, roles, testing and downtime. A supplier that chooses the path before understanding those constraints may simply move risk into later phases.
PRACTICAL METHOD
How to work through it
Use the steps to move from assumption to evidence and then to a decision.
Demand one dependency view
Make the partner connect code, data, interfaces, security, testing and business readiness rather than manage them as isolated workstreams.
Rehearse before the final weekend
Use realistic volumes and business reconciliation in migration and cutover rehearsals.
Check the handover model
Know who owns defects, monitoring, reconciliations and design decisions once the programme moves into support.
WHAT WE EXAMINE
Evidence worth collecting
- How the partner decides between brownfield, greenfield and selective transition
- Custom-code, data and integration discovery before detailed planning
- Testing, reconciliation and cutover evidence rather than milestone reporting alone
- Ownership of hypercare and unresolved risk after go-live
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Useful outputs, not shelfware.
We keep deliverables tied to decisions, delivery and ownership. The exact format changes with the workstream; these are the outputs we would expect to leave behind.
