I am excited to announce the latest enhancement to our SAP Business Transformation Center: The integration of Lean Selective Data Transition with SAP CALM Project & Task Management. This powerful combination is designed to provide comprehensive transition guidance, ensuring a smooth and efficient migration from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA.
Why Lean Selective Data Transition?
The Lean Selective Data Transition scenario offers a unique approach to data migration, allowing organizations to leave behind outdated company code or fiscal year data, and focus on the most relevant information. This capability not only reduces the data scope but also enhances the efficiency and speed of the migration process. The transformation project implementation effort is reduced significantly, since data scoping, modeling as no-code automated setup of the migration implementation, and execution of the migration cycle can be centrally controlled in SAP Business Transformation Center and the end-to-end setup happens in minutes. Further information can be found here.
Integration with SAP CALM Project & Task Management
With the new integration, SAP Business Transformation Center - that is also running on SAP Cloud ALM -, is now fully connected to SAP Cloud ALMs Project & Task Management and part of the Integrated Toolchain. This feature allows the creation of an SAP Cloud ALM project with reference to an SAP Business Transformation Centers 'Transformation Project', containing all transformation project-related tasks. This guided procedure generates immense value in user experience by navigating through the entire end-to-end process with direct navigation to apps on SAP Cloud ALM using native SAP Cloud ALM Project & Task Management capabilities. The first version of the new app comes with guidance for the transition approach 'Selective Data Transition'. Stay tuned for upcoming further supported scenarios.
Key Features and Benefits
- Comprehensive Transition Guidance: The new app "Manage Transformation Projects" and the key element "Transformation Project" provide detailed guidance for selective data transition from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA.
- Enhanced User Experience: The integration offers a seamless navigation experience, guiding users through the entire process with direct links to relevant apps on SAP Cloud ALM.
- Customizable Tasks: Users can create manual tasks to extend the standard guided procedure with custom project-specific requirements, tailoring the transformation projects to their needs.
- Efficient Data Scope Reduction: The Lean Selective Data Transition scenario supports time-slice filtering, allowing organizations to selectively transition data based on specific key dates.
- Accelerated Project Execution: The integration with SAP Cloud ALM accelerates and simplifies the project through a work-breakdown structure for relevant tasks from system setup to final data migration.
The new app "Manage Transformation Projects"
The tile "Manage Transformation Projects" on the SAP Cloud ALM "Transformation can be used to create a Transformation Project:

In order to get the access, make sure you have assigned the respective roles "Transformation Project Administrator" to your user in the SAP Cloud ALM app "User Management":
New Roles for the new app "Manage Transformation Projects"
The creation of a Transformation Project is currently only possible for the scenario "Selective Data Transition SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA".
Creation of a new "Transformation Project"
The SAP Cloud ALM Project in Project & Task Management will be automatically generated with the task list for the scenario "Selective Data Transition SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA".

Thanks to bi-directional integration, you can navigate from there into the "Projects and Setup App" and also back into the "Transformation Project" again:

The "Selective Data Transition SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA" is split into 4 deliverables that contain the respective tasks:

From there it's possible to navigate into the "Tasks" app to verify all the tasks and also navigate into the tasks detail:
Task List of a "Transformation Project" for the Lean Selective Data Transition Scenario
From here users will find all the mandatory tasks in order to execute a Lean Selective Data Transition. From the tasks users find guidance and links to FAQs and the documentation and it's also possible to navigate directly to the related apps, like the "Manage Digital Blueprints" app, which is the app to execute the task "Create Digital Blueprint".
Direct Navigation from SAP Project & Task Management into other apps, such as SAP Business Transformation Center
Using the task list, users and customers are guided end to end through their transformation project journey.
Seamless Integration with Digital Blueprint
The Selective Data Transition scenario can be utilized using the Digital Blueprint in the app "Manage Digital Blueprints". The Transformation Project can be linked to the Digital Blueprint during creation. The Digital Blueprint provides a virtual representation of your source SAP ECC system, helping you define the migration and transformation scope with precision. The relevant time-slice filtering is then incorporated into the content of the transformation objects in the transformation model, ensuring a streamlined and efficient transition.
Conclusion
The integration of Lean Selective Data Transition with SAP Cloud ALMs Project & Task Management is a game-changer for organizations looking to migrate from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA. By leveraging this powerful toolchain, you can achieve a seamless and guided transition, reduce data scope, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Embrace the future of data migration with SAP Business Transformation Center and unlock the full potential of your digital transformation journey.
