Migration & Transformation
What is Database Migration Option (DMO)?
A SUM option that combines the database migration to SAP HANA with the update or S/4HANA conversion in one run.
DMO avoids a separate heterogeneous system copy. Downtime-optimized variants reduce the window further. Benchmarking and tuning runs precede mock conversions.
