Why Delaying S/4HANA Migration Could Hurt Your Bottom Line
The cost of integrating AI, IoT and other modern technologies with legacy ERP systems often surpasses the cost of transitioning to a platform that was natively built for these capabilities.
SAP aims to be a standardized business software that integrates all business processes and enables data processing in real time. To do so, SAP has built out a business app portfolio alongside a technology platform to address the information processing needs of enterprises today. Most recently, it has woven in agentic and generative AI capabilities into its offerings, as well as supporting data-related capabilities.
The efficiencies of using SAP are many, and our research team has reviewed and rated SAP’s performance across a number of areas quite highly. However, the challenges and complexity of bringing together so many business processes are also heightened.

Enterprises that focus on improving collaboration inevitably face some employees who resist changes to the digital and physical components of the workplace. They dislike the idea of open workspaces and collaboration using video and chat. Overcoming resistance requires listening to employees throughout the transition and following a clear organization change management (OCM) plan.
S4/HANA can be beneficial when implemented right, but there are no easy enterprise-resource-planning (ERP) projects. Moving to S/4HANA holds special challenges because it often involves new ways of working.
In this report, learn how OCM programs can help you avoid or mitigate some of the most common challenges they face when converting to SAP S/4HANA, and why organizational change management increases the ROI in S/4HANA by reducing the time to value.
