After the launch of David Lees’ recent S/4HANA Adoption Model, this webinar offers a tailored focus on SAP customers in the US and UK. 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 that are facing maintenance issues
- How to address finite migration resource demand peaks and their budget implications
- Migration timelines and the difference between “started”, “live” and “completed” phases
- Maintaining ECC alongside S/4HANA due to data retention needs and integration complexities
