## Audience

This blog is aimed primarily at Basis consultants who would be performing the BW migration. I do not explain the detailed steps for performing an upgrade as this can be found in the SAP documentation. Instead I highlight the unexpected issues and errors that came up during the migration of our system from BW 7.4 to BW/4HANA so that you might avoid some of these pitfalls or at least be prepared for them when you come to do your own migration.

Please fill out the details on the [enquiry form](https://centiq.co.uk/get-in-touch/) on the contact page to download Part 1: Steps from BW7.4 to BW7.5 Upgrade
