Replay the Live Launch Event

See how IT-Conductor SUMMon takes the guesswork out of SAP upgrades. In this recorded session, Linh Nguyen walks through the real challenges SAP teams face, including scattered logs, errors without context, and poor coordination. He then demonstrates how SUMMon delivers visibility and control at every phase.

Whether you perform upgrades, manage projects, or oversee compliance, this session shows how SUMMon can simplify execution and reduce risk. Learn how to shift from reactive upgrades to a structured process, while gaining the speed and assurance that come from managing everything in one platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are several tools for migrating data from legacy SAP systems, each suited to specific environments and migration types. SAP offers tools like Migration Cockpit, SUM with DMO, and SLT for data transfer and real-time replication, while third-party automation platforms enhance visibility and reduce manual errors.

When selecting a migration tool, consider system size, complexity, database type, cloud provider, and automation needs. A unified orchestration approach ensures data integrity, performance, and compliance throughout the migration.

IT-Conductor simplifies SAP migrations end-to-end, whether on-premise to cloud or cloud-to-cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP). With real-time visibility, automated tracking, and agentless SAP-native automation, it keeps every phase on track and minimizes manual work.

Upgrading to SAP S/4HANA presents several technical challenges that go beyond a simple version update. Legacy custom code often depends on deprecated functions and tables, requiring remediation through tools like the ABAP Test Cockpit or Custom Code Migration App to align with S/4HANA’s simplified data model. Data migration also introduces risk, such as large datasets that must be cleansed, validated, and harmonized to prevent inconsistencies in master data or transactional records once moved to the HANA in-memory database. Integration adds another layer of complexity, as hybrid landscapes with third-party systems can experience interface disruptions or synchronization issues if middleware configurations (such as SAP PI/PO or CPI) aren’t properly managed.

Even with modern migration tools like SUM DMO and Near-Zero Downtime options, unplanned outages can still occur during cutover, affecting business continuity. Post-upgrade, performance tuning becomes critical to leverage HANA’s in-memory capabilities effectively through proper sizing, SQL optimization, and index adjustments. Security and compliance must also be revisited —authorization models and GRC rules often require reconfiguration to maintain control and segregation of duties. Without rigorous testing, automated validation, and user enablement, these technical risks can lead to costly downtime or performance degradation after go-live.

Minimizing downtime during an SAP upgrade or migration requires careful planning, real-time visibility, and automation to prevent delays or human errors. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through IT-Conductor SUMMon, a solution designed to streamline and orchestrate complex SAP upgrade and migration projects.

With SUMMon, you can receive real-time status updates across all systems, eliminating the need to manually review logs and giving your team the visibility to act quickly. SAP upgrades often involve thousands of phases, leaving teams disoriented halfway through the process. SUMMon solves this by providing live progress tracking at every step, ensuring your projects stay on track from start to finish.

You can monitor UAT and cutover progress, prevent bottlenecks, and use structured, exportable workbooks and logs automatically generated for each phase, removing the need for manual documentation. Collaboration is also built in, where multiple teams can leave comments directly on the platform, keeping communication centralized. Also, by setting alerts for critical phases, you’ll be notified immediately when issues arise, allowing you to respond before they impact your timeline. This level of orchestration and visibility helps significantly reduce downtime and keeps your SAP upgrade or migration running smoothly from planning to go-live.

Validating SAP data integrity and system health typically involves verifying that configuration data, master data, and transactional records have been accurately transferred without corruption or loss. System checks should also confirm database consistency, performance benchmarks, and connectivity between application layers.

IT-Conductor streamlines post-migration validation by continuously monitoring system health, performance KPIs, and integration points across SAP and non-SAP components. It provides real-time visibility into database performance, background jobs, and interface activity. Automated health checks and dashboards can also be configured to detect anomalies early, while providing auditable evidence of data accuracy and system stability.

Tracking progress during an SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) run can be challenging, especially when managing multiple systems or landscapes simultaneously. Each SUM process involves hundreds to thousands of phases, and without centralized visibility, teams often rely on manual log reviews or frequent status checks across systems, slowing down response times and increasing the risk of missed issues.

IT-Conductor SUMMon solves this challenge by providing real-time, end-to-end visibility across all active upgrade projects from a single, unified dashboard. It continuously monitors each SUM phase, displaying live progress indicators, elapsed times, and error notifications. Teams can receive instant alerts when failures occur and add contextual comments within the platform to coordinate faster resolutions.

By eliminating manual log reviews and automating phase tracking, SUMMon ensures that upgrade timelines stay on schedule, and stakeholders—from Basis teams to project managers—have the insights they need to act quickly and confidently throughout the entire upgrade cycle.
