Source Data Lake Migration

SAP Workload Assessment

Our experts audit every SAP extraction layer, module dependency, data flow, and downstream reporting requirement in your environment. Each workload is classified by complexity, data volume, and business criticality, giving you a precise migration scope, effort estimate, and risk register before any work begins.

• Inventory of all SAP modules in scope (FICO, SD, MM, PP, IS-H, BW, S/4HANA, ECC)
• Extraction method assessment covering ODP, SLT, JDBC, and BAPI-based data flows
• Complexity scoring per workload (simple flat extracts vs. multi-join, hierarchy-heavy, or real-time CDC pipelines)
• Risk register flagging high-volume, compliance-sensitive, or business-critical SAP workloads for priority handling

SAP Data Extraction and Integration

Our engineers build production-grade SAP extraction pipelines using ODP, SLT, and JDBC connectors, covering full-load and incremental CDC patterns for S/4HANA, ECC, BW, and all major SAP application modules.

• ODP-based delta extraction configured for S/4HANA and BW operational data providers
• SLT replication setup for near-real-time CDC from ECC and S/4HANA into target platforms
• JDBC-based batch extraction for SAP modules where ODP or SLT is not available
• Extraction throughput validated against source system load limits to prevent SAP performance impact

SAP Target Architecture Design

We design a custom target architecture mapped to your SAP workloads, whether the destination is a cloud data warehouse, open-source lakehouse, or modern data platform. The architecture is fully documented and signed off before execution begins.

• Source-to-target mapping covering all SAP modules, extraction methods, and landing zones
• Data modeling for SAP-specific structures including slowly changing dimensions, hierarchies, and transactional tables
• Capacity and scaling plan based on current and projected SAP data volumes
• Sign-off document detailing exact tool versions, configurations, and integration points

SAP Module Re-Engineering

Our engineers re-engineer SAP-specific data structures, transformations, and business logic for the target platform, preserving FICO, SD, MM, PP, IS-H, and BW semantics without losing business context in translation.

• SAP-to-target schema mapping covering flat tables, hierarchies, and SCD Type 1 and Type 2 patterns
• FICO posting logic, SD order flow, MM material movements, and BW InfoObject structures rebuilt for the target layer
• Custom ABAP extraction logic replaced with open standards (ODP, SLT, or Kafka-based CDC)
• Transformation unit testing against SAP source data before integration testing begins

Phased Cutover and Parallel Run Management

Our team keeps your existing SAP extraction and reporting layer live until every new pipeline is validated against production data. Cutover executes only after automated reconciliation confirms full data parity.

• Pipeline-by-pipeline cutover sequencing based on SAP module risk and business priority
• Automated reconciliation reports comparing legacy SAP extract outputs and new pipeline outputs
• Documented and rehearsed rollback procedures for every cutover phase
• Sign-off checkpoints with stakeholders before each SAP module goes live on the new platform

Security and Compliance Configuration

We configure encryption, role-based access control, and audit logging aligned to SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS requirements across the full SAP data migration scope. Security is configured and documented as part of the project deliverable.

• Column-level masking and row-level filtering policies mapped to SAP data sensitivity classifications
• TLS encryption in transit and at rest across all extraction and landing zone components
• Full audit logging of data access, pipeline runs, and configuration changes for compliance reporting
• Compliance-relevant configuration documentation handed over alongside architecture diagrams

Performance Optimization and Tuning

Our engineers tune extraction throughput, transformation execution, and target platform query performance against your actual SAP workloads before final handover.

• SAP extraction rate tuning to maximise throughput without impacting live SAP operations
• Transformation execution plan tuning to eliminate bottlenecks on high-volume SAP domains
• Target platform query optimization benchmarked against existing SAP reporting baselines
• Monitoring dashboards configured for ongoing pipeline and platform visibility post-go-live

Team Enablement and Training

Hands-on training, operational runbooks, architecture diagrams, and administration playbooks are delivered directly to your internal team covering every tool and integration layer Ksolves builds.

• Role-based training tracks for data engineers, analysts, and platform administrators
• Runbooks covering common operational tasks, pipeline troubleshooting, and platform management
• Knowledge-transfer sessions with recorded walkthroughs for future reference
• Internal team sign-off confirming readiness to operate the migrated SAP platform independently

Post-Migration Managed Support

Our hypercare program includes under-4-hour P1 incident response, regular health reviews, full documentation handover, and a team enablement session so your engineers operate the platform independently.

• Hypercare window with under-4-hour P1 incident response SLA
• Periodic health reviews covering pipeline performance, platform cost, and compliance posture
• Full documentation handover including architecture diagrams, runbooks, and governance policies
• Optional managed operations model for ongoing pipeline changes and platform growth
