The 7 Hidden Data Migration Risks for S/4HANA
Most SAP S/4HANA migrations don’t fail at go-live.
They fail earlier—when hidden data risks go unnoticed until it’s too late.
This ebook highlights seven critical data migration risks that repeatedly delay S/4HANA programs, increase rework, and undermine business confidence. These risks are often missed because they sit between IT execution and business accountability.
Rather than focusing on tools or technical steps, the ebook explains where migrations break down in practice—and what leading programs do differently.

- How one-time cleansing creates repeat defects
- Where Business Partner conversion typically goes wrong
- Why custom objects become late-stage blockers
- Why record-count reconciliation is not enough
- How poor tool selection increases migration risk
- Why cutover rehearsals expose hidden data failures
Each risk includes:

- Data Governance and Migration Leads
- Finance and Business Stakeholders involved in S/4HANA sign-off
Why This Matters
S/4HANA does not tolerate ambiguity in data.
Programs that surface and address these risks early reduce delays, shorten stabilization, and protect executive confidence.
This ebook is designed to help teams identify risk before it surfaces at cutover—when options are limited and pressure is highest.
Download the ebook to understand the data risks most S/4HANA programs discover too late—and how to avoid them.
A controlled migration is not accidental.
