The Clean Data Gap- A Hidden Risk in SAP Public Cloud Migration W

1. The Clean Data Gap: A Hidden Risk in SAP Public Cloud The Clean Data Gap: A Hidden Risk in SAP Public Cloud Migration Migration In today's fast-paced digital world, the push for modernization drives enterprises to embrace next-generation ERP systems like SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud. Through offerings like Grow with SAP and Rise with SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud, organizations can transform their operations with agility, scalability, and advanced analytics capabilities. However, as companies race toward digital transformation, one hidden risk continues to undermine the success of these transitions—unclean, disorganized data. The Hidden Threat in Cloud Migrations Migrating to the SAP Public Cloud is not just a tech upgrade—it's a strategic shift. Yet, many organizations carry over legacy systems, customizations, and most critically, low-quality data that wasn't cleaned, profiled, or governed properly. This data swamp leads to inefficiencies, system slowdowns, compliance risks, and failed analytics initiatives. The illusion of progress is a dangerous trap. Even with cutting-edge platforms like SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA Cloud, poor data quality leads to misleading reports, inaccurate KPIs, and broken business processes. The concept of a Clean Core, central to SAP's vision, becomes impossible to achieve if the data feeding the system is flawed.

2. Why Clean Data is Mission-Critical A clean core is not a feature—it's a foundational requirement. SAP's Clean Core strategy empowers businesses to: •Reduce system complexity •Minimize custom code •Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) •Innovate faster through modular architecture But without clean, standardized, and harmonized data, this strategy fails. That’s where JiVS IMP (Information Management Platform) by Data Migration International plays a vital role. JiVS IMP is purpose-built to support clean data migrations and enable organizations to uphold data integrity, governance, and compliance throughout their SAP S/4HANA transformation. How JiVS IMP Powers Data-Driven Success JiVS IMP is more than a migration tool—it’s a complete data management ecosystem that addresses every aspect of data quality, from profiling to archiving. 1.

This means faster systems, lower costs, and simpler landscapes. Real Results: What Businesses Are Seeing Organizations that integrate JiVS IMP into their SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud migration report: •Up to 90% less data volume migrated •Fully audit-compliant legacy data access •Shorter migration timelines •Reduced project complexity and risk •Lower operational costs in the SAP environment These benefits directly impact the bottom line and contribute to a seamless transition to SAP’s intelligent enterprise model. Why It Matters for Grow with SAP and Rise with SAP Grow with SAP and Rise with SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud are more than just service packages—they represent a shift to Composable Enterprise models. This requires high-quality, modular, interoperable components—and that begins with data. Without clean data, composability suffers. Inconsistent or fragmented data kills flexibility, slows adaptation to change, and breaks automation flows. A composable enterprise needs clean, reliable data to function like a well-oiled machine.

4. SAP HANA Cloud: The Backbone for Real-Time Insights SAP HANA Cloud solutions provide the agility, speed, and scalability enterprises need in a digital world—but their true power lies in enabling real-time data integration and processing. When paired with clean data, SAP HANA Cloud: •Drives advanced analytics and AI •Provides accurate, real-time dashboards •Ensures reliable forecasting and planning •Enhances cross-functional collaboration The message is clear: a high-performance cloud solution like SAP HANA Cloud requires equally high-performance data. Key Takeaways for ERP Professionals If you're considering an SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud journey, don’t overlook the hidden risk of poor data quality. Here’s what ERP leaders must know: •Legacy systems and unclean data create technical debt. •Fragmented data undermines innovation and decision-making. •JiVS IMP provides a proven pathway to high-quality migration and governance. •Clean Coreisn’t optional—it’s critical for SAP Public Cloud success. Final Thoughts: Your Path to a Clean, Agile Core Migrating to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud is a strategic move, but it must be grounded in clean, accurate, and governed data.
