The right cloud for S/4HANA
Most SAP users intend to migrate to S/4HANA, but less than 30% have started the process. The project is time-sensitive, given that mainstream support for older SAP software will end in 2027. Failing to migrate could leave mission-critical ERP environments vulnerable to emerging security threats. Why, then, are so many holding off?
Cloud is a factor, according to enterprise SAP user surveys. Many enterprises have a cloud strategy that involves moving workloads to the public cloud, where they can use simple managed solutions, scale infrastructure easily, and benefit from consumption-based billing. However, the vast majority do not prefer public cloud for SAP; they believe a public cloud
S/4HANA deployment may not meet requirements around data sovereignty, ability to use software licenses they already own, business continuity, training and support, and other needs.
According to a survey of 2,000 SAP customers, around half believe moving their SAP landscape is difficult.3 SAP environments are often large and complex, featuring a high degree of customization plus carefully architected disaster recovery systems. Enterprises want to migrate their existing environments in all its complexity, not start over.
