After the launch of David Lees’ recent S/4HANA Adoption Model, this webinar offers a tailored focus on Australia and New Zealand. We are convening a distinguished panel of SAP experts for a live discussion. Hosted by the model’s creator, David Lees, the event will explore topics such as:
- Considerations for “early adopter” S/4HANA customers facing maintenance issues in Australia and New Zealand.
- How to address finite migration resource demand peaks and their budget implications.
- Migration timelines and the difference between “started”, “live”, and “completed” phases are likely to be different.
- Maintaining ECC alongside S/4HANA due to data retention needs and integration complexities.
