According to the survey, over 90 percent of respondents believe that the digital transformation is having a major or very major impact on the IT department.<\/p><div id=\"great-3950553750\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en great-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6ZGXMPyM-nU\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"banner_26-04_29_1200x150\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>At the same time, only 31 percent of companies are far or very far along in the digital transformation process. Or, to put it another way: 69 percent are not very far along or have not yet begun their digital transformation. That clearly means: There is a need for action among DSAG members or SAP users!<\/p>\n<h3>Coherent platform concept<\/h3>\n<p>Modern and beneficial SAP solutions for digital transformation are available - including infrastructure components and technologies that have numerous innovations \"in their belly\" and effectively support digitalization.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, these are S\/4 Hana, SAP Cloud Platform (SCP) and SAP Leonardo. The Business Suite does play a certain role for SAP users as a result of the above-mentioned survey (44 percent). However, unlike S\/4 Hana (70 percent) in conjunction with the SCP (44 percent) and Leonardo (18 percent), it does not represent a coherent platform concept for digital transformation in the true sense of the word, but rather stands for a certain ERP status quo.<\/p>\n<h3>DevOps model<\/h3>\n<p>The following should also be noted: S\/4 Hana as a digital core, SCP as a development and integration platform and the Leonardo framework include a beneficial DevOps model that can be used in SAP landscapes for digitalization projects.<\/p>\n<p>S\/4 Hana for operations (for the OPS) and SCP and Leonardo as development environments for new apps and digital business processes (for the DEV) with the use of cloud technologies (Cloud Foundry\/PaaS or OpenStack or Container\/IaaS) and\/or operating concepts (hybrid or multi-cloud).<\/p>\n<h3>Technology consistency, uniform standards<\/h3>\n<p>As a close SAP partner and open source innovator, Suse ensures the necessary technological consistency or - as requested by DSAG - uniform standards. Regardless of whether on-premise, public cloud, SAP HEC or SCP.<\/p>\n<p>The management of Linux with the Suse Manager, for example, is platform-independent per se and also offers valuable added value in hybrid cloud scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the platform independence means that important functions such as Hana HA (High Availability) and DR (Disaster Recovery) are available to protect the digital core against failures. In addition to security guides for hardening the Linux platform and disk encryption or Suse Live Patching to minimize downtimes.<\/p>\n<h3>Bottom line:<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, too few DSAG members are still dealing with the topics of the future and the innovations in infrastructure or are not using them to meet the digital transformation in a future-proof manner.<\/p>\n<p>Suse helps to develop the innovation and future topics and cordially invites the DSAG community to participate in customized SAP workshop offers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/partners\/suse-linux-gmbh\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Digitalization: the technologies are here - why not use them?\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11380 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE.jpg\" alt=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/partners\/suse-linux-gmbh\/\" width=\"1000\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-100x11.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-480x54.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-640x72.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-720x81.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-960x108.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a certain amount of catching up to do for SAP users when it comes to digitization.
