Time is running out for SAP S/4HANA migration
With the 2027 deadline fast approaching, enterprises face increasing pressure to complete the mandated enterprise migration to SAP S/4HANA; yet less than 40% have begun their transitions.2 This gap highlights the significant challenges of data modernization and may indicate that competing business priorities for IT resources and changing sociopolitical and economic dynamics are impacting SAP S/4HANA adoption rates.
SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are part of a complex system of interconnected applications powering everything from orders to supply chains, assembly lines, and shipments. The mission-critical nature of surrounding applications touched by an ERP system means downtime is not an option. Any change to the ERP core will have downstream effects to the applications powering vital business processes.
Typically, SAP environments feature numerous in-house customizations with robust disaster recovery systems. Enterprises often want to migrate these complex environments, not start over. SAP, however, advocates keeping a clean ERP core to reduce the number of customizations, causing companies to re-engineer their processes as well as their considerations for where to host their new SAP deployments.
