THE THREE MOST FAQ ABOUT SAP S/4HANA
How can my company best prepare itself for a migration to S/4HANA?
How can my company best prepare itself for a migration to S/4HANA?
Set yourself detailed goals and ask yourself what you want to achieve with the implementation of S/4HANA. Do you want to optimize your company’s processes, to better organize, and if necessary to clean up the master data management or to push the digitalization of the company? A good resources planning, as well as an early organizational management is essential. The simplification and optimization of the company’s processes change also the workflow for your employees. That is why, it is recommended that you involve these steps on time in the implementation process.

When is the right time for a migration to S/4HANA?
When is the right time for a migration to S/4HANA?
The right time is now! Do not postpone a migration or implementation of S/4HANA. Then, depending on the complexity of your SAP environment or your company’s structure (more subsidiaries with the same SAP data) a migration to S/4HANA can take more than a year. Until 2025, everything must be completed and field-tested, because then SAP stops the support for the current SAP-ERP Systems, which means that there will be no more system and security updates. Seize the chance for further development, stay competitive or become a pioneer in the field of digitalization.
