S/4 - Time is running out - and so is the number of experienced SAP consultants!

Only around ten percent of the 150 DACH IT decision-makers surveyed have already completed the technical changeover, and only a further five percent are currently in the migration process.

The effects of this hesitant approach are drastic. From 2022, according to the Lünendonk study, there will be a veritable avalanche of projects, which will then lead to a project backlog.

Because the resources of corresponding service providers are already thin on the ground today. There is also a lack of consultants in the area of SAP security and compliance - although this area is not even considered in most migration strategies.

This often turns out to be a fatal mistake. Bodo Kahl, CEO Sast Solutions at Akquinet, also warns against neglecting these topics in conversion:

"Due to the growing threat situation from both inside and outside the company, I strongly advise incorporating a comprehensive security concept into the migration processes and the new software generation from the very beginning. In this way, responsible parties save both time and money and make the best possible use of the potential of S/4 Hana."
