Which three implementation approaches does SAP recommend choosing from for SAP S/4HANA Cloud?

The recommended implementation approaches for SAP S/4HANA Cloud encompass several strategies tailored to various business needs. Among them, "New implementation" stands out as an optimal choice for organizations that are either moving from a non-SAP system or starting fresh with SAP S/4HANA. This approach allows businesses to leverage the latest functionalities and best practices inherent in SAP S/4HANA Cloud right from the start.

A new implementation facilitates a clean slate, enabling organizations to align their business processes with modern, efficient standards without legacy constraints. It also encourages transformative thinking about how business processes should work in the cloud, allowing for innovation and improved efficiency.

While other approaches like system conversion and system landscape transformation serve their specific use cases—such as upgrading existing systems or consolidating landscapes—they may not always be appropriate for those who are new to SAP or seeking to completely overhaul their systems. Each option has particular implications, but the new implementation allows users to fully embrace the cloud environment effectively.
