SAP-Solution: Digitalisierungsstrategie

No monthly SAP news should be disregarded. The Short Facts are dedicated to smaller news items as well as seemingly more or less important statements from the community. This is the place for SAP-specific press releases that otherwise tend to be overlooked.

On February 11 and 12, 2020, DSAG invites you to the Technology Days in Mannheim with the aim of supporting SAP users in solving digitization tasks.

In 2025 at the latest, the time will have come: There will be no more maintenance provided for older SAP releases. Until then, SAP customers should already have migrated to S/4Hana. The corresponding announcement from Walldorf was made in 2015. Even in 2018, the number of companies who have already migrated is still in the single-digit percentage area, and the figure of existing SAP customers who successfully migrate to Hana with the provided standard conversion tools may be just as low. That’s because although they work excellently, they only have advantages for customers who have remained in the SAP standard.

There is no alternative to the S/4 switchover, but for many it is still a long way off. First of all, a roadmap is needed, geared to the perfect transformation point in time. It is also necessary to reconcile the conflicting expectations of business and IT.

Disruption through technology will displace four out of ten companies within the next few years. This is not a gloomy vision of the future, but a bitter reality. Waiting, persisting or ignoring are not options if you want to be competitive.

SAP environments have become increasingly complex over the years. The demands on maintenance are all the higher. One example is the increasingly complex patch processes.
