⇨ The more informed customers are about their environments before the start of the project, the more likely they are to be successful. This can be as simple as a custom code evaluation, but embracing the entirety of the project and the organizational change it can bring is essential
⇨ Involving business teams in the transformation process is vital to the success of initiatives beyond the deployment phase. Failure to do so may result in failure to see technology adopted post-implementation
Organizations need to prioritize innovation. Improving agility, ensuring resilience, and unlocking data-driven analytics across business operations are not only essentials for success and growth, but also prerequisites. However, most organizations approach their transformation projects traditionally, where either the project scope is narrow or a single target approach is adopted. For example, infrastructure renewals or applying sustainability goals. In fact, what they should be prioritizing is the bigger picture. Although traditional approaches often stem from budgetary constraints or a pressing need to replace legacy infrastructure, the failure to envision the bigger picture often derails successful transformations.
Partners play a key role in SAP projects. They manage a range of tasks including business case formulation and strategy development to data cleansing, updating custom code, managing change, project management, knowledge sharing and education, and solution deployment. As more customers look to complete their transformation projects before the end of 2027 deadline, finding the right partner for a project is crucial, especially given the limited availability of partners with experience in deploying SAP S/4HANA and RISE with SAP.
