DSAG and IA4SP should call for moderation, because in an overheated pace there is also an incalculable risk.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, at Sapphire next May, Hasso Plattner, Bill McDermott and Bernd Leukert will again present simplistic answers designed to make us believe that a version change - SolMan, Hana or S\/4 - is a casual affair for the CIO.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wait is over.
