AnyDB to HANA for one SAP system
Sizing, rehearsal migrations, downtime tuning and a reconciled production cutover for an ECC, BW or other NetWeaver system currently on Oracle, DB2, SQL Server or MaxDB.
SAP migration
SAP HANA migration, with downtime measured in rehearsal.
Every road to S/4HANA runs through SAP HANA. We move SAP databases to HANA, upgrade older HANA systems, or rehost them to the cloud, in fixed-price sprints with rehearsed cutovers.
What is an SAP HANA migration?
An SAP HANA migration moves an SAP system's database from another platform, such as Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server or SAP MaxDB (often called "AnyDB"), to SAP HANA, SAP's in-memory database. It is a prerequisite for SAP S/4HANA, which runs only on HANA.
The term also covers upgrading HANA 1.0 systems to HANA 2.0, moving HANA from on-premise hardware to a cloud provider or RISE with SAP, and moving SAP BW onto HANA. A good HANA migration is sized before it starts, rehearsed until the downtime window is known, and reconciled before go-live.
HANA moves that fit a 30-day sprint
Illustrative examples, one system or landscape tier per sprint. Your scope is confirmed in the Migration Blueprint.
HANA 1.0 to HANA 2.0
Upgrade and revalidation of older HANA systems, ready for S/4HANA and supported again.
HANA to the cloud
Rehosting to certified infrastructure in Australian cloud regions, or preparation for RISE with SAP.
Data volume reduction
Archiving and housekeeping that shrink the database before the move, cutting the memory you pay for.
BW on HANA
SAP BW moved onto HANA as a step towards BW/4HANA or SAP Datasphere, with reports reconciled.
Size it before you move it
HANA keeps your data in memory, and memory drives the bill. The cheapest gigabyte is the one you archive before the move.
- Sizing from your real data, not a template
- Archiving and housekeeping candidates identified and agreed with data owners
- Downtime measured in rehearsals, then cut down before production
- Backups, high availability and monitoring in place before go-live
One SAP system to HANA in 30 days
Start with a five-day Migration Blueprint, from A$9,500 and credited in full against your sprint if you go ahead within 60 days, then a fixed-price 30-day sprint per system or landscape tier.
from A$50,000 per sprint
Do we have to move to SAP HANA before S/4HANA?
SAP S/4HANA runs only on SAP HANA, so every route to S/4HANA includes a HANA database. Many organisations move ECC to HANA first, which splits the later S/4HANA conversion into smaller steps. ECC on HANA is still covered by the 2027 maintenance dates, so treat it as a step, not a destination.
How much downtime does a HANA migration need?
It depends on database size, data volume and network throughput. We measure it in rehearsal migrations and optimise it before the production cutover, so you know the expected window before you book it.
Can we shrink the database before we move?
Usually, yes. Archiving and housekeeping before the move reduce the memory HANA needs, which lowers hardware or subscription costs for as long as you run the system.
Can HANA run in an Australian cloud region?
Yes. SAP HANA can run on certified infrastructure from the major cloud providers in Australian regions, or under RISE with SAP. We help you compare the options on cost, control and data residency.
