Deduplicate, cleanse, and govern master data so it moves clean and stays that way.
Keep reporting alive through the migration and modernize it on a governed foundation.
Material, vendor, and BOM master data cleansed for S/4HANA. Unit-of-measure normalization, plant-level deduplication, and reconciliation from ECC to a clean core.
Carrier, location, and shipment master data made migration-ready. Conflicting codes resolved and inventory positions reconciled before cutover.
Asset, work-order, and BW reporting continuity through the move. Regulated reporting kept alive on a governed foundation as the data migrates.
Finance and supply-chain master data made audit-ready for S/4HANA, with the first close on time and lineage a regulator can follow.
Customer, vendor, and GL master data governed for a defensible migration. Reconciliation evidence your steering committee and auditors can rely on.
The clean, governed data layer your S/4HANA core depends on.
Certify and enforce master data definitions so they stay clean post-migration.
It is our data and analytics practice applied to SAP ECC to S/4HANA migrations. Six certified consultants who average 12+ years each, focused on the layer that decides whether a migration works: readiness, data quality, migration, and reporting.
The S/4HANA platform works. Migrations stall on poor master data, duplicates, broken custom code, and reporting that goes dark when the data moves. 77% of companies call data their hardest part of the move, and most find out at cutover.
Sometimes, for companies that do not need a global-scale program. More often we own the data and analytics workstream alongside one, which is usually what keeps the wider program on schedule.
Mainstream maintenance ends in December 2027, extendable to 2030 at a premium. Start early so you choose your path and partner instead of the calendar choosing for you.

Public or private cloud. The data has to fit the new model, and custom code has to be remediated.
Build a clean core and move only active data. The most data-intensive path of the four.
Buys time past 2027. It defers the move, it does not retire the data debt.
of organizations have completed a full transition to S/4HANA, with dirty, undocumented legacy data named a top inhibitor.
of teams hit data-integration problems during the move, the most common execution failure.
hit IT skills and talent gaps during the move, the second most common execution failure.
The big integrators are strong on the platform and thin on the data, which is the expensive gap. Here is how the two approaches differ where it matters.
Platform build and configuration, with data treated as a downstream workstream.
Six certified consultants averaging 12+ years, on the data itself.
Senior partners in the room, junior staff on the data once the deal is signed.
Measured up front and turned into a board-ready plan before cutover.
Often discovered at the trial conversion, when it is expensive to fix.
Proof by object and by value that the data landed complete and correct.
Reconciliation varies, and gaps surface in the first financial close.
We own the data and analytics workstream, with or without your integrator.
We do not publish a flat rate because no two SAP estates are the same. These are the factors that move the scope and the effort, so you can see where your program sits before we talk numbers.
How many customer, vendor, material, and finance objects you carry, and how many domains need cleansing before the move.
A single ECC instance is one thing. Multiple instances, bolt-ons, and non-SAP feeds multiply the reconciliation work.
Heavily customized systems carry more code written against the old data structures, which has to be assessed and remediated.
The share of records that fail matching, completeness, or conformance checks sets how much cleansing the load needs.
The number of BW, Crystal, Tableau, and Power BI reports that must stay live or be rebuilt on the new core.
Regulated industries need compliance-grade audit trails and lineage, which adds controls and documentation.
Every engagement starts with the 30-Day Truth Audit, so the scope is measured before any number is discussed.
You are moving from SAP ECC to S/4HANA and data is the risk, not the platform.
Your migration is stalling, or you have not committed a date yet.
You want a senior data team on the move, with or without your system integrator.
Your data problem is not SAP-specific: see Data Foundation or Data Governance.
You only need reporting modernized on the new core: see SAP Reporting & Analytics Modernization.
You only need master data cleansed: see SAP Data Quality & Governance.
30-Day Truth Audit. An evidence-based read on where your data stands, no obligation.
Blueprint & Readiness Assessment. Four weeks, three veterans, a board-ready plan and a Migration Risk Dashboard.
Data Rescue Pod. A senior squad that cleans the data and fixes the code when a migration is stalling.
The SAP migration practice that starts where the others stop:
ECC support ends December 2027. We are the senior team that gets your data ready, moves it cleanly, and keeps your reporting alive, so the migration actually lands. Don't move the mess. Clean it first.
Thinklytics' SAP practice is the migration team that starts where others stop: your data. ECC support ends in December 2027. We are the senior team that gets your data ready, moves it cleanly, and keeps your reporting alive through the cutover, so the S/4HANA migration actually lands instead of carrying the old mess forward.
Most S/4HANA programs do not break on SAP. They break on data.
The big integrators are good at the platform and thin on the data, which is the expensive gap. Thinklytics has fixed the data layer since 2018. Our SAP practice brings six certified veterans to the readiness, cleansing, migration, and reporting work that decides the outcome.
Most companies move to S/4HANA through RISE with SAP. Some run a Selective Data Transition to a clean core. Some leave SAP for Dynamics or Oracle. Some hold on ECC with third-party support. Every one of those paths still has to extract, clean, and map the same legacy data. That is the work we own.
Recent industry research tells the same story we see in the field. The platform is rarely the problem. Talent and data are what decide whether a migration lands.

The migration risk concentrates wherever master data is high-volume, regulated, or spread across plants and systems. These are the segments where our readiness, cleansing, and reporting work pays back first.
