Aphelios Solutions specializes in executing smooth, risk-averse Brownfield conversions, leveraging proven methodologies like the System Conversion process.

We focus on migrating your current configuration, customizing enhancements, and historical data directly to the S/4HANA target architecture. This ensures immediate access to the modern Fiori user experience and the power of the in-memory HANA database, all while maintaining business continuity and protecting decades of valuable operational history.

  • Readiness Check & Custom Code Remediation

    We execute the SAP Readiness Check and the Simplification Item Check to precisely scope the project, followed by meticulous custom code analysis and remediation to ensure compatibility with the new S/4HANA data model.

  • Technical Conversion & Fiori Adoption

    We manage the complete technical conversion via the Software Update Manager (SUM), enabling the simplified data model and immediately activating the modern SAP Fiori User Experience across key business processes.

Strategic Migration and Technical Debt Reduction

Our Brownfield implementation services are designed to be more than just a technical upgrade; they are a strategic opportunity for process cleanup and technical debt reduction.
