- What is the motivation behind the migration, when is the ideal time, and what is the best way to get there?
The findings in a nutshell:
Motivation
While the end of support for the previous version is the decisive factor behind the move, SAP customers have other good reasons for the migration too. According to the meta study, modernization, innovation and transformation are becoming increasingly important – especially in terms of upgrading existing SAP landscapes and IT infrastructure. Companies can leverage their updated application landscape to increase cost flexibility and agility as well as drive digitalization. All in all, decision-makers see SAP S/4HANA as the foundation for innovation, automation and new technologies such as AI, robotics, big data and the Internet of things.
Timing
Considering the potential behind S/4HANA, the move is high on companies’ agendas. As of today, just over one in three SAP customers have already migrated all their important systems to the latest version, and more than a third are still planning to do so. According to the reviewed studies, implementing an alternative ERP solution is not an option for user companies, which means that the transition is simply a matter of time. In addition, the studies indicate that while on-premises remains the most popular operating model, the public cloud – and especially the private cloud – are gaining traction. After all, if change is inevitable, why not do it right?
Approach
In view of the highly individual situation and unique challenges that every company faces, the selective data migration approach offers enormous advantages. The hybrid approach provides maximum flexibility for SAP customers: They can decide which data and structures to include and which to discard in advance while also optimizing and modernizing their processes and structures. According to the studies, a third of those surveyed are already relying on this hybrid strategy, while almost half of large companies are pursuing this approach.
The meta study is part of the new SNP white paper ‘How to make your move to SAP S/4HANA® a success,’ which is available for download.
