OVER 50% of tech leaders are prioritizing two transformation initiatives: business process automation, standardization, or redesign, and transitioning to SAP S/4HANA. This is according to SAPinsider’s CIO 2023 Transformation Report Card and represents a considerable growth compared to last year, with 17 and 22 percentage point increases.
SAPinsider surveyed and interviewed 156 members of its member community between June and September 2023 to gather leadership and strategy insights from IT leaders involved in SAP transformation initiatives on the progress and performance of their 2023 transformation initiatives. The survey findings revealed that most companies have focused their SAP S/4HANA transformation efforts on processes such as accounts payable/receivable, material planning, quality control, data management, customer experience, order management, labor management, security/risk management, and warehouse management.
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 stood at 6.91, a slight dip from the previous year’s 7.14.
