CIOs have two main priorities: automation and standardization of business processes remain in the top spot. The second most popular response was unsurprisingly the move to SAP S/4HANA. The impending deadline is only getting closer as companies continue to assemble their business case and cobble together the resources and knowledge to get them there before 2027. This is according to SAPinsider’s CIO 2024 Transformation Report Card.
In the fourth year of our study, SAPinsider surveyed 105 executives and decision makers from September to November 2024 to better understand their major transformation projects and what makes or breaks success for them.
The results were compared with the previous year’s research on the same agenda. Respondents were asked to rate the progress or outcomes of their transformation projects on a scale of 1-10 (1 signifying not meeting expectations, and 10 representing exceeding expectations). The rating this year dropped to 6.61, compared to a mark of 6.91 from the previous year’s survey.
