BTP: pragmatism versus roadmap
December 24, 2024
There is another way! We have worked intensively with SAP BTP and evaluated that BTP is far more autonomous than SAP officially represents with the S/4 roadmap. From a pragmatic point of view, BTP is also a good platform for ECC 6.0.

RISE, Cloud, and Exit
December 19, 2024
A typical RISE with SAP contract is an agreement to provide full disclosure to the ERP market leader. Following a RISE conversion, the SAP customer has almost only obligations and hardly any rights. Will the EU provide assistance with the implementation of the Data Service Act?
SAP HR at a Crossroads
December 12, 2024
Leading SAP customers such as Hilti, Unilever, and Maersk have selected Workday as their preferred HR solution. Medium-sized SAP customers are still hesitant to make the switch because they have to weigh the benefits of brand loyalty (SAP) against the potential for innovation (Workday).
Hybrid SAP BTP
December 5, 2024
The SAP Business Technology Platform serves as the central foundation for both current and future ERP solutions. ECC customers are already leveraging this platform for consolidation and customization. It is not feasible to implement S/4 without BTP, as Abap modifications will continue to exist.
SAP Virtualization, RISE, and GROW
November 28, 2024
SAP's objective with RISE and GROW is to provide new and current customers with a pathway to the public cloud. The offerings present a challenge due to their complexity, and many SAP customers would prefer to remain in an on-prem environment with virtualization.
