How Learning Drives SAP S/4HANA Value

With the 2027 end of maintenance deadline approaching, all SAP organizations must start to make the move to SAP S/4HANA. These companies must begin with a crucial planning phase, understanding their needs, obstacles, and potential benefits of deploying the latest ERP.

It is critical for SAP organizations to fully explore the possibilities for their SAP S/4HANA implementations because the platform represents far more than a traditional ERP upgrade — it is a catalyst for digital transformation.

Reaching Your Full Potential

Understanding the full potential of SAP S/4HANA allows organizations to modernize business processes, enhance operational efficiency, and unlock real-time insights across finance, supply chain, HR, and customer experience functions. Without a clear view of what’s possible, companies risk underutilizing the system, falling back into outdated processes, and missing opportunities for innovation.

Companies often do not have the experience or resources to fully understand the options by themselves. Many companies rely on trusted partners like Capgemini to help guide them through the digital transformation process and build a roadmap that allows them to leverage the full power of SAP S/4HANA.

Learning Critical Lessons Live

One of the best opportunities for companies to gain key insights into the SAP S/4HANA transformation process is at the upcoming SAP Sapphire events in Orlando and Madrid. Many of the largest SAP partners will showcase success stories and technological advancements, demonstrating how businesses can maximize their SAP investments.

Capgemini is a leading sponsor of these events, and will deliver several hotly-anticipated sessions. In Orlando, Sapphire attendees can learn more about:

• Success stories from HydraForce and Westlake on how they were able to partner with Capgemini to efficiently and effectively leverage RISE with SAP to reduce costs and improve performance.
• How to better leverage SAP AI copilot Joule. The new Joule Studio offering allows users to create AI agents and tailor skills, helping businesses to streamline operations and drive growth.
• Global talent optimization through Capgemini’s usage of SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Fieldglass.

Additionally, Madrid attendees with be able to attend another RISE with SAP success story. This one will highlight Notura’s RISE transformation. Capgemini will also offer in-booth demos highlighting its AI capabilities and data dashboard.

What This Means for SAPinsiders

Learning is the first step in a successful SAP S/4HANA journey. Learning about S/4HANA’s capabilities such as embedded analytics, intelligent automation, and AI-driven decision support enables organizations to build smarter, more agile operations that can respond quickly to market shifts. It also ensures better alignment between technology investments and strategic goals like improving customer satisfaction, driving sustainability initiatives, and enhancing compliance.

Find lessons that help you learn your own way. Technology leaders must make the business case to their larger organizations that the technologies they want to use are worth the investment. They must be able to demonstrate value in whichever way is most effective. Learning through practical explanations, success stories, and hands-on demonstrations gives people the ability to highlight the value of AI and SAP S/4HANA.

Invest in your own success. SAP S/4HANA implementations involve significant cost and change management efforts. Properly understanding the platform’s possibilities helps organizations prioritize high-value initiatives, avoid costly rework, and ensure user adoption.
