Data Chaos, Legacy IT and Rise

Due to very many and interesting offers from SAP, many existing customers no longer see the necessary solution. The data chaos in SAP and the legacy systems is evident. The problem: SAP currently no longer offers solutions, but only options, tools and concepts, such as how the data chaos can be resolved. Imagine taking your broken car to the repair shop in the hope that it will be fixed.

Instead, the workshop manager involves you in a conversation: Possibly you should buy a new car or switch to a motorcycle, also public transport is getting better and better, regarding your car a new paint job could also be applied and of course the engine would get a general overhaul if the seats were also covered with new leather. At the latest now your head buzzes and you take flight by bicycle. The suggestions were well meant! SAP also means well for its existing customers, but they don't need fireworks of innovations, they need an ERP roadmap to manage the data chaos and harmonize S/4 with legacy IT.

There is a lack of what existing SAP customers need: solutions to problems with their ERP and a strategy for the future after S/4. Yes, many roads lead to Rome, but if the forest is no longer perceived due to many trees, then the ERP provider has done a bad job. If after one and a half years only 2,000 SAP customers are using Rise and 60 percent of them are new customers, then SAP has a big problem with its ERP solution offering to existing customers.
