The next big thing isn’t always right for everyone, and change takes time. As SAP professionals, the next big thing for us is S/4HANA. Even though it’s incredibly powerful, the marketplace isn’t as excited to make these wholesale changes as fast as you might think.
I stumbled across an article from Computer Business Review that echoes these sentiments.
In the article, the author references a survey that was conducted at the UK & Ireland SAP User Group that asked 345 users about their implementation of S/4HANA. Only 12 percent responded that they were using S/4HANA, with an additional 58 percent indicating that they are planning on upgrading. The survey didn’t ask about the S/4HANA cloud version, but it’s clear that the percent of usage for that is even lower.
So while SAP is gung-ho about pushing everyone to the S/4HANA, for many companies, there are logistical, financial, and mind-set barriers that need to be overcome before they are ready for the latest and greatest technological advancements.
