SAP-Solution: R/2

For many years, the expert opinion was that there can be no alternatives to SAP because no other software provider masters similar business complexity. This statement is still true! But what if SAP's existing customers are themselves the alternative?
SAP has taken a wrong turn: Instead of consolidating menus, screen masks and processes, a ChatGPT-like voice input is to be put over the disastrous UI. Why does SAP always start solving problems from the wrong side?
The world of business and finance is on the move. The SAP community was sent on its way with Covid-19 several years ago without any planning and naturally without any knowledge of a future. When "digital transformation" was not yet a buzzword, the change had already begun: Professor Hasso Plattner was responsible for the start with his revolutionary concept of an in-memory computing database....
There are "rumors" that yet another SAP customizing has hit the wall. Unfortunately, these reports are all too often true! The culprit is quickly found: SAP.
Data is the new gold. But are data agility and legal stability even compatible? Few IT companies have thought about this. Data Migration Services has not only thought about it, but has found an almost perfect solution.
Hasso Plattner wants to lead his existing customers into the age of digital transformation. The ideas of what is innovative and what is digital diverge.
Legacy SAP system shutdowns are becoming more and more important as a result of the transition from the Business Suite to S/4. Data must be extracted from a legacy system but it is important that this data can be used as required. Specifically developed standard solutions offer numerous advantages.
S/4 will replace the Business Suite in the future. But S/4 is still very young. Nevertheless, companies should include the innovations in their planning now, define their long-term SAP roadmap and start taking the first steps. Can Business Suite on Hana be a helpful intermediate step?

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.
