SAP users are caught between the conflicting priorities of migration and innovation. Migration projects with lift-and-shift procedures often dominate at first, and innovation falls by the wayside. But there is a better way.
The digital transformation of many SAP customers focuses on the migration to S/4. In view of scarce resources, there is a need for efficient implementation of the migration and subsequent upgrades.
