The digitization of the economy is fundamentally changing work processes and is not bypassing any industry or area of responsibility. This is by no means just a technological upheaval.

The demand for innovative solutions to tackle ever-evolving challenges and support smart processes and new business models in the era of digitalization is rising. To become more resilient and adaptive, 11,500 customers worldwide are leveraging SAP S/4 Hana.

Many SAP customers feel unsure of what to do concerning the migration to S/4 Hana - and rightly so.

Digital transformation has to be holistic, meaning it needs to encompass the entire value chain, every business department, and internal and external factors. SAP S/4 Hana can help with that.

Exceptional situations such as the current one show that digitization has not yet reached the necessary level of future security for many companies.

Digitalization poses new challenges. To avoid pitfalls, companies need a structured approach. This is also true for S/4 Hana implementations as digital core, and a business transformation roadmap is indispensable for any migration.

With S/4, SAP has positioned its ERP system as the core of digital enterprise transformation. Important for sustainable implementations is aligning them with corporate strategy and following a structured approach.
