The global and independent platform for the SAP community.

German managers have a problem: They demand the impossible from their IT teams when it comes to data. This endangers the future of companies, as the example of the switch to S/4 Hana shows.
The road to S/4 Hana seems hard and unmanageable. A massive mountain of accumulated data and documents including business context in legacy systems is the reason. Should you start mining and transfer the mountain to S/4 Hana, too?
General Electric protects intellectual property in their fossil energy business unit with a unified strategy for data management and the decommissioning of legacy systems—and saves a lot of money.
Asahi, the Japanese brewery group, is shutting down 25 old systems in Central and Eastern Europe, thereby making a lasting reduction to its running costs for access to legacy data.

Working on the SAP basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. 

This gives the Competence Center strategic importance for existing SAP customers. Regardless of the S/4 Hana operating model, topics such as Automation, Monitoring, Security, Application Lifecycle Management and Data Management the basis for S/4 operations.

For the second time, E3 magazine is organizing a summit for the SAP community in Salzburg to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana groundwork.
