SAP program managers and data migration leads planning S/4HANA transitions

Decision supported

Choosing governed SAP data migration software that integrates with SAP change and quality evidence

Decision context

SAP data migration for S/4HANA modernization requires rigorous governance to manage complex dependencies, data quality, and compliance risks. Adranum’s software ingests authorized SAP readiness, data-quality, and connector evidence to provide a comprehensive view of migration scope and readiness. This approach reduces surprises by highlighting unsupported inputs and coverage gaps early in the process.

Unlike traditional data migration tools that focus solely on data extraction and load, Adranum integrates migration within the broader SAP change lifecycle. It maps observed and inferred dependencies between data objects, code, and processes, enabling informed keep, replace, remediate, or retire decisions that align with SAP modernization goals.

Adranum’s data migration capabilities generate reviewable proposals for data transformations and code adjustments, packaged with impacted tests and reconciliation evidence. Customer operators retain control of raw service data and credentials within their infrastructure, while Adranum returns bounded commands and aggregate outcomes, ensuring security and compliance throughout migration execution.

Integration of SAP Readiness and Data Quality Evidence

Adranum ingests multiple sources of SAP evidence such as readiness checks, ATC results, ABAP and DDIC analyses, and data quality reports. This multi-dimensional input enables a precise understanding of migration scope and risk areas.

By correlating data quality issues with process and code dependencies, Adranum identifies migration bottlenecks and unsupported data inputs that require remediation before cutover.

This evidence-driven approach supports continuous improvement by tracking historical changes and simulating immutable migration scenarios to validate outcomes before execution.

Analyze ABAP and DDIC dependencies
Incorporate data quality and connector evidence
Identify unsupported inputs and coverage gaps
Simulate migration scenarios for risk assessment

Dependency Mapping and Impact Analysis

Adranum automatically maps observed and inferred dependencies across SAP data objects, ABAP code, and business processes. This mapping is essential to understand the impact of migrating or retiring data elements.

The software supports decision-making by categorizing dependencies into keep, replace, remediate, or retire, enabling targeted migration strategies that preserve system integrity.

Impact analysis extends to test artifacts, ensuring that generated migration packages include relevant test cases for validation and reconciliation post-migration.

Categorize dependencies by migration decision
Generate impacted test packages
Support targeted remediation strategies
Preserve process and data integrity

Reviewable Data Transformation Proposals

Migration proposals generated by Adranum include detailed data transformation and code change suggestions that are reviewable by SAP architects and data owners.

These proposals remain editable until customer-controlled compilation and runtime validations succeed, ensuring that migration changes meet quality and compliance standards.

The approach prevents premature production deployment by clearly marking generated code as proposals until all checks pass.

Generate detailed transformation proposals
Enable architectural and data owner reviews
Support iterative refinement and validation
Prevent premature deployment
Ensure compliance with SAP standards

Secure Execution and Evidence Collection

Adranum’s architecture allows customer operators to keep raw service data, source code, and credentials within their own infrastructure, reducing data exposure risks.

Only bounded commands, hashes, aggregate outcomes, and reconciliation evidence are returned to Adranum, maintaining strict data governance and auditability.

This design supports exact-state recovery, cutover coordination, and continuity management critical for complex SAP data migrations.

Customer-controlled raw data and credentials
Return bounded commands and aggregate outcomes
Record reconciliation and recovery evidence
Coordinate cutover and continuity
Enhance auditability and compliance

Process Variant and Bottleneck Analysis

Adranum captures observed process variants and bottlenecks during migration simulations, providing insights for continuous process improvement.

Immutable simulations allow teams to validate migration scenarios without altering production data, reducing risk.

Historical improvement tracking documents changes over time, supporting governance and audit requirements.

What the workflow must cover

Multi-source Evidence Ingestion. Adranum ingests SAP readiness, ATC, ABAP, DDIC, data quality, and connector evidence to build a comprehensive migration scope and risk profile.
Dependency Mapping and Decision Support. Automatically maps dependencies and supports keep/replace/remediate/retire decisions to guide targeted migration strategies.
Reviewable Code and Data Proposals. Generates detailed, editable migration proposals that require customer validation before deployment.
Secure Data Governance Architecture. Keeps raw data and credentials within customer infrastructure while returning only bounded commands and aggregate outcomes.
Cutover and Continuity Coordination. Manages cutover, reconciliation, continuity, and exact-state recovery to ensure smooth migration transitions.
Process Variant Analysis and Simulation. Analyzes process variants and bottlenecks with immutable simulations to validate migration scenarios and support continuous improvement.

Implementation workflow

Start with a bounded customer scenario and explicit acceptance criteria. Preserve native SAP permissions and accountable review while the software creates a repeatable evidence chain.

Ingest authorized SAP readiness, ATC, ABAP, DDIC, data quality, and connector evidence from customer systems.
Automatically map observed and inferred dependencies among data objects, code, and processes relevant to migration.
Generate initial keep/replace/remediate/retire decisions and create reviewable data transformation and code proposals.
Conduct iterative reviews with SAP architects and data owners to refine migration proposals and validate impacted tests.
Package approved migration changes into content-addressed implementation bundles with associated test cases.
Coordinate cutover activities, reconciliation, and exact-state recovery with customer operators maintaining data governance.
Execute migration commands within customer infrastructure, collecting and returning bounded outcomes and reconciliation evidence.

Evidence to require

A transformation claim should resolve to observable artifacts, decisions, and execution receipts. Ask for the following evidence in a representative evaluation:

SAP readiness check reports
ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) analysis results
ABAP and DDIC dependency graphs
Data quality assessment reports
Connector interface logs and metadata
Generated migration proposal documents
Content-addressed implementation packages
Impacted test case lists and execution receipts
Cutover coordination logs
Reconciliation and exact-state recovery evidence

Boundaries and non-claims

Adranum separates analysis, proposal, human review, package creation, customer-local validation, and production execution. A later state never rewrites the evidence that supported an earlier decision.

Does not replace SAP licensing or Basis administration responsibilities.
Generated migration proposals require customer compilation and runtime validation before deployment.
Does not substitute for specialist testing tools in all scenarios.
Unsupported or missing inputs remain visible and require manual remediation.

Public comparison sources

Competitor statements are limited to current public materials. Verify them during procurement because products and packaging change.
