Smart Paths to S/4HANA: Lean Selective Data Transition for SAP Partners

SAP partners are facing a major transformation window as thousands of SAP ECC customers prepare for their move to S/4HANA. Traditional Greenfield and Brownfield approaches often force customers into a difficult choice: rebuild from scratch and lose years of SAP investment, or convert existing systems while carrying forward legacy complexity.
This whitepaper explores how Lean Selective Data Transition, LSDT, creates a practical middle path for SAP partners and their customers. It explains how partners can support S/4HANA transformation with greater flexibility, reduced delivery risk, and stronger value retention, without building expensive internal LSDT capabilities from the ground up.
It also outlines how Globpar’s white-label LSDT Conversion Factory helps SAP partners expand their S/4HANA service offerings, improve project scoping, and deliver complex migration programs under their own brand.
