A SAP HANA migration team is responsible for planning and executing a migration of SAP S4 to SAP HANA. This team typically consists of several roles, each with their own responsibilities:
Project Manager: The project manager is responsible for overall project management, including project planning, budgeting, resource allocation, and risk management. They also oversee the work of the other team members and ensure that the project is on track and meets its goals.
Technical Lead: The technical lead is responsible for the technical aspects of the migration, including data migration, system integration, and testing. They also work closely with the functional leads to ensure that the migration is done in a way that meets the organization's business requirements.
Functional Lead: The functional lead is responsible for the functional aspects of the migration, including configuring the new SAP S/4HANA system to meet the organization's business requirements. They also work closely with the technical lead to ensure that the migration is done in a way that meets the organization's technical requirements.
Data Analyst: The data analyst is responsible for analyzing the data that will be migrated from SAP S4 to SAP S/4HANA. They also work closely with the technical and functional leads to ensure that the data migration is done in a way that meets the organization's requirements.
Developers: Developers are responsible for creating and testing the new software and programs necessary for the migration. They work closely with the technical lead.
Testers: Testers are responsible for testing the new system and software to ensure that they are functioning correctly and meet the organization's requirements. They work closely with the technical lead.

Remote resources can be fully remote for the roles developers, testers, and analysts. These resources can be located anywhere in the world, and they can work remotely on the migration using collaboration tools. Certain resources have to be (partly) onsite and include the project manager, functional lead, and technical lead. These resources need to be onsite to ensure good communication and coordination with the rest of the organization. They also need to be onsite to ensure that the migration is done in a way that meets the organization's specific business and technical requirements. Additionally, onsite resources need to be present to resolve issues that may arise during the migration process, such as system downtime or data integrity issues. The generic difference is that remote resources work on specific tasks, such as coding or testing, while the onsite resources can focus on coordination and communication with the rest of the organization.
A SAP HANA migration team is responsible for planning and executing a migration of SAP S4 to SAP HANA. The team typically consists of several roles, each with their own responsibilities, including a project manager, technical lead, functional lead, data analyst, remote and onsite resources. The team can be a hybrid one and it allows organizations to access a larger pool of talent and expertise which makes it more likely to get the team staffed.
