[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image source=”featured_image” img_size=”1130×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]SAP S/4HANA migration is a significant and important part of a business’s roadmap. As it drives digital transformation, opening up opportunities to optimize business processes by adopting new technologies.
Successful migrations require careful advance planning and consideration of an appropriate migration strategy. With COVID-19, companies can utilise this time to strategize and prepare for the migration. It can take months to years to complete the migration process, and leveraging the time we have is best recommended. As SAP will end its mainstream support and maintenance for the core SAP ERP system by 2027.
Due to this, many SAP customers were already at various stages of evaluating, planning or implementing SAP ECC migration to S/4HANA. Prior to the global business disturbance caused by COVID-19. Even though COVID is a setback but it is also an opportunity. Migration to S/4HANA is best done now as there is plenty of time to strategize the process and the availability of SAP experts. As it will start to scale down as the deadline approaches with every company moving to S/4HANA. As any ERP is a three layer architecture, and stopping the production inorder to implement the migration is nearly impossible during business time. With COVID-19 affecting the market demand, it might be a good time to pause your production when the business is not at its peak, and use the time for SAP S/4HANA implementation.
A proper migration strategy planned by a well-known SAP partner like LMTEQ would assure your journey to S/4HANA be smooth by eliminating risks during the transition. Implement the best strategy that fits your business’s roadmap without data inconsistency and integrity issues.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading stm_title_font_weight=”700″ text=”Why now is the time for SAP S/4HANA migration” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”no_stripe”]
Implementation with limited workforce
The COVID 19 pandemic has proved that there should be less reliance on human resources as the workforce can come to a drop at times like this. SAP S/4HANA migration during this time gives an opportunity for SAP customers to reduce the downtime during the level of customization and complexity during the migration as required.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”no_stripe”]
Endless Capabilities
The focus on enhancing digital capabilities, particularly automation. Data analytics and management will most likely be trending in a post COVID-19 world. The importance of up-to-the-minute enterprise data and analysis is an important part of management systems. S/4HANA offers quick learning and analysis to enable better performance and simplified user experience.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”no_stripe”]
Scarcity of SAP Resources
The shortage of qualified SAP resources may become even more acute, which significantly drives up costs for SAP ECC migration to S/4HANA. As the 2027 deadline approaches. The demand for SAP experts will peak within a short period of time. Leaving behind very few consultants to the rescue.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]
Financial Concerns
The capital investment in data migration to S/4HANA is significant. This cost is mitigated to some extent, however, by the following:[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1598385598831{padding-left: 30px !important;}”]
- S4/HANA Readiness check and adopting a test implementation that reduces the level of customization and complexity of the ERP solution should reduce migration cost.
- Using SAP S/4HANA cloud data migration which has the potential to reduce operating expenses and convert fixed costs of on-premise solutions to variable cloud pricing based on actual resource utilization.
- The advanced digital capabilities of S/4HANA may enable companies to achieve greater efficiencies and monetize their data.
- SAP offers credits for converting existing investments in legacy licenses to S/4HANA.
- SAP S/4HANA migration removes the future risk of unanticipated costs and liability associated with “indirect access” to SAP ERP software. As named user licenses are not required for S/4HANA.
