AX2012 to SAP S/4HANA Data Migration
Migrating legacy Dynamics AX 2012 data across 250+ dealers, studios, and hotels in 4 countries to a new SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud landscape, using a metadata-driven migration approach.
Business Context
As Plateau-1 of a broader Brownfield digital transformation, the manufacturer set out to replace its Dynamics AX 2012 systems with SAP ERP, targeting a Q2 2025 go-live. The critical enabler was migrating data cleanly from the legacy databases into the new SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud and its associated repositories.
Nextgenlytics ran the migration as a dedicated S/4HANA Public Cloud data-migration workstream, moving legacy sources for 250+ dealers, studios and hotels across 4 countries, while standing up a Modern Data Platform for analytics and an archival system for legacy records. We followed a metadata-driven migration approach throughout, improving accuracy and significantly reducing overall migration time.
Key Impact
- Migration of legacy data sources to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud
- 250+ dealers, studios & hotels migrated across 4 countries
- 20+ month transformation program delivered
- Data migration, quality, engineering & validation built in
Challenges
Migrating legacy Dynamics AX 2012 data cleanly across 250+ operating locations.
Coordinating a single migration programme across a 4-country footprint.
Standing up a Modern Data Platform and archival system alongside the core migration.
Maintaining accuracy and auditability through a metadata-driven engineering approach.
Our Solution
- Migrated legacy Dynamics AX 2012 data across 250+ dealers, studios, and hotels, delivered across a 4-country footprint as part of a single programme.
- Executed over a 20+ month transformation timeline alongside the Plateau-1 go-live.
- Migrated core transactional data to a new SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud landscape.
- Stood up a Modern Data Platform for analytical and reporting workloads, and built an archival system to retain legacy records for compliance.
- Applied metadata-driven mapping and ETL pipelines, with data quality checks, reconciliation, and validation ahead of go-live.

Key Results / Outcomes
"A migration of this scale, 250+ locations, 4 countries, could easily have taken twice as long. The metadata-driven approach Nextgenlytics used cut our reconciliation effort dramatically and kept us on track for go-live."
