But the fact is that Christian Klein is fighting with very blunt weapons and so the probability is very high that he will lose the battle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAP's Hana database is over ten years old, S\/4 is almost as old, and much of the Abap code in S\/4 is much older still. Ten years is an eternity in the fast-paced IT scene. E-3 author and DSAG working group spokesman Johannes Szalachy writes about this in detail in the upcoming E-3 February 2022 issue: Is the S\/4 Strategy 2022 Still Up to Date? <\/p><div id=\"great-4071973790\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6yfv7eho3Gc\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Fullsize\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fullsize\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What is frightening about this scenario is the fact that SAP is planning with Hana and S\/4 into 2030 and beyond. Even the best Abap modifications on the Business Technology Platform or in on-prem systems do not turn the old construct into a modern ERP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAP urgently needs a rejuvenation, a retread, an ERP relaunch. Unfortunately, the prerequisites for this are not in place, as the community can observe with the example of Signavio (process mining): In order to get the software up and running with existing customers, SAP has to fall back on its old partner Scheer, see E-3 Magazine December\/January 2022, page 24.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The current issue of Manager Magazin sees SAP CEO Christian Klein in a defensive battle against Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, Oracle, Snowflake, UiPath and Celonis.
