The global and independent platform for the SAP community.

Is the SAP community willing to change?

Our current survey on the status quo of S/4 Hana migration in German companies shows that a slight majority of participants are aiming for or have installed an on-premises version of S/4 as their target platform.

This is the result of a preliminary evaluation of the ongoing online survey from PAC and E-3 Magazine.

Accordingly, less than one in eight would dare to switch to a public cloud version. According to the initial analysis, a remarkably high proportion are considering installing an alternative platform instead of S/4 Hana. The latter snapshot is particularly surprising because the German SAP community is actually considered to be very loyal to SAP and not very willing to switch. What is your opinion?

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.
