    How It Works

    • 1. Connect Systems
    • 2. Select & Cleanse Data
    • 3. Map & Transform Data
    • 4. Validate & Test
    • 5. Monitor & Control

    1

    Connect Systems
    Seamlessly connect to a wide range of data sources — including legacy ERPs, spreadsheets, cloud platforms, and databases — using DataLark’s pre-built, configurable connectors. Integrate with SAP S/4HANA, either directly via native SAP interfaces (such as BAPIs, RFC, and OData) or indirectly through the SAP Migration Cockpit. You can either generate load-ready files compatible with the Migration Cockpit or push data directly into its underlying staging tables, ensuring flexibility across migration scenarios.

    2

    Select & Cleanse Data
    Define which master data, transactional records, and custom tables you want to migrate. Use DataLark’s data profiling tools to assess structure, quality, and dependencies. Detect inconsistencies automatically and apply cleansing rules to prepare reliable data for S/4HANA.

    3

    Map & Transform Data
    Map data fields between source systems and S/4HANA using DataLark’s visual drag-and-drop interface. Apply no-code transformation rules to align formats, standardize values, and structure your data according to S/4HANA requirements.

    4

    Validate & Test
    Leverage DataLark’s validation capabilities to ensure data accuracy, completeness, and integrity during the migration process. Simulate migration steps where applicable to catch and resolve potential issues in advance.

    5

    Monitor & Control
    Gain full visibility into migration progress, status, and performance through detailed logs. Track and audit every data transfer with comprehensive, customizable reports, or configure email notifications for real-time operational monitoring.

    FAQ

    • What is selective data transition, and how is it different from system conversion or greenfield migration?
      Selective data transition is a targeted migration strategy that allows you to move specific data sets and organizational units to SAP S/4HANA. Unlike system conversion (which migrates everything) or greenfield (which starts from scratch), selective migration gives you full control over what to keep, discard, or restructure.
    • What kinds of data can I selectively migrate with DataLark?

      With DataLark, you can migrate:

      • Master data (customers, vendors, materials, etc.)
      • Transactional data (sales orders, invoices, production records, etc.)
      • Custom tables and fields

      You choose what’s relevant based on your business and compliance requirements — DataLark takes care of the rest.

    • Can I migrate data from non-SAP systems into S/4HANA?
      Yes. This is one of the key advantages of using DataLark. The platform can connect to both SAP and non-SAP systems, allowing you to extract data from legacy ERPs, proprietary databases, cloud platforms, or flat files, then transform and map it to align with SAP S/4HANA’s structure. You can load clean, validated data into your S/4HANA system without disrupting business operations or relying on multiple third-party tools.
    • How long does a selective data migration typically take?
      Timelines vary depending on the scope of data and system complexity. Selective migration with DataLark is significantly faster than traditional full-system approaches. With automated transformation, validation, and data loading, DataLark reduces manual effort, lowers risk, and accelerates your transition to S/4HANA.
    • Does DataLark support previewing and validating data before final migration?
      DataLark supports simulation and dry-run capabilities in applicable scenarios, allowing you to preview results, validate transformations, and make adjustments before final cutover. This helps teams reduce risk and gain confidence throughout the migration process.
    • Can I perform a phased migration using DataLark?
      Yes. Phased, incremental migration is one of the key strengths of the selective approach with DataLark. You can migrate business units, regions, or data domains in stages, reducing risk and allowing your teams to adapt gradually. This also supports hybrid scenarios where parts of the business remain on legacy systems during the transition.
    • What kind of support and onboarding services does DataLark provide?
      With dedicated product support, you get responsive guidance tailored to your project context — including help with initial training, setup, troubleshooting, and technical questions. For more complex migration needs — such as scoping, data mapping, or cutover planning — additional consulting services are available through a separate engagement.
    • How does DataLark ensure data security during migration?

      DataLark applies strong security measures throughout the migration process to help protect your data and minimize risk. These include:

      • End-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest
      • Role-based access controls (RBAC) to manage user permissions
      • Detailed logs for traceability
      • Secure connectors designed in accordance with SAP integration best practices

      Whether deployed on-premise or in the cloud, DataLark helps ensure that your sensitive business data is handled securely and in accordance with your internal policies and regulatory expectations.
