#### Wednesday 2nd December 2020 at 8:30 am – 3:30 pm (GMT)
UKISUG have created [The Digital Insights Symposium](https://sapusers.org/events/2814/digital-insights-symposium) virtual event (and virtual exhibition hall) to allow you to engage and network with SAP customers and experts alike, ensuring you make new connections, benefiting both you and your company you need to attend this event.
With the current climate, unfortunately, UKISUG Connect 2020 was not viable as the event that we all enjoy each year. We have been invited to present at the event, so encourage you to **[Register](https://sapusers.org/events/2814/digital-insights-symposium)** and we hope to see you there.
**[SAP Migration](https://www.centiq.co.uk/sap-transformation) Options and Conversions** – 9:30am Claire Richards, Solutions and Services Architect.
**This session focuses on real-world examples of the strategies that customers are taking in terms of migrations to S/4HANA and the Public Cloud to drive transformation, and specific customer success stories and lessons learned**
**Let’s start by thinking about what drives change?** Simplified this can be changes to your business processes, technical change, SAP functional change or a combination of all of these. The objective is to ensure that your SAP platform and its performance is not a barrier to change. One option is to do nothing, which will inevitably see the rise and rise of technical debt and a bigger barrier to change that requires greater effort to overcome. The objective is to achieve a flexible, responsive and modernised IT platform which meets current and future business needs.
Your **Journey to SAP** on Hyperscale and S/4HANA may have different starting positions and goals as well as considerations as well as to how success is best achieved. Given to extended SAP support for ECC, many customers are opting for a migration to Hyperscale and possibly Suite on HANA before considering and planning for an additional step to migrate to S/4HANA. For Business Warehouse (BW), there are three principle migration conversions based on in-place, remote and shell conversion but this can be delivered independently of ECC and other SAP applications helping Customers to define their Hyperscale best practices before integrating other SAP applications.
Along with these best practices, there are some general migration and conversion recommendations which simplify, accelerate and lower risks and costs. These will be explained within the session.
