Aside from that, you might also consider the timing of such transition, so as to adjust your business needs. With that being said, here are some things to keep in mind as you consider moving to S/4HANA. 

Why Move To S/4HANA?

The transformation to S/4HANA has enabled many businesses to benefit the real innovation – giving the advantage to redesign business processes with next-generation operations and integrating IoT and machine learning that will power your business growth.

When Should You Move To S/4HANA?

As ECC will be out of date by 2027, businesses should start planning their migration as soon as possible. Because based on our experience, for a medium sized company, it takes several months of preparation and up to a year for implementation and further improvements.

Postponing your migration will also give you higher risk as there will be more data to be migrated, and consequently takes a longer time and will definitely be more expensive. Aside from that, with many companies globally starting their migration to S/4HANA, or as we call it the migration wave, there’s a chance that there will be a shortage of skilled consultants. Our advice is to start now and make sure you have access to the appropriate skills you need.
