Survey - Switzerland/4 Hana?

Digitalization has arrived at Swiss companies - but how far has it progressed? The digital revolution has not yet fully taken hold, according to a large-scale study in which IT service provider GIA Informatik surveyed C-level executives from 900 Swiss organizations.

As many as two thirds of the managers surveyed testify that their own organization (67.7 percent) and the respective industry (66.7 percent) are strongly to very strongly affected by digitalization.

They believe that processes (92.1%) and products and services (76.3%) in particular are exposed to the influence of digitalization. Almost two thirds (62.2%) believe that their customers see the digital transformation as an opportunity.

S/4 Hana is not yet a major topic: only 10.5 percent use the Hana in-memory database. 18.4 percent are planning to introduce it. Most companies are not yet aware of the S/4 Business Suite: 81.6 percent do not use it and 15.8 percent are thinking about introducing it. Accordingly, there is great potential here.
