Exclusive SAP ECC to S/4 Promotion

Competitive pressures, mergers & acquisitions and SAP’s commitment to de-support ECC by 2025 are driving renewed investment in digital transformations.  For most existing SAP customers, an SAP ECC migration to S/4HANA will become a centerpiece of enabling these transformative initiatives. 

Assessing and understanding the various S/4 migration options, pros/cons, operational impacts, risks, benefits, costs, sequencing, timing and sourcing strategies requires immense diligence given the breadth of current SAP customer landscapes.

At UpperEdge, we know SAP customers are at various stages of their journey in assessing and making the migration to S/4. We also understand the criticality of having a well thought out approach for making the jump to S/4 and the importance of knowing how the market is evolving.

Optimize Your ECC to S/4HANA Journey

Journey to S/4HANA

Customer demands, mergers and acquisitions, and the competitive landscape across all industries are driving digital transformation initiatives.  For many organizations, an SAP ECC to S/4HANA migration is the centerpiece enabling these initiatives. 

Unfortunately, the experiences of past ERP projects present leaders of these next generation initiatives with a highly skeptical Board of Directors who want to understand why they should have confidence in the strategy, business case, and execution plan being presented to them.

Every day our team of dedicated SAP advisors, comprised of former transformation program and sourcing leaders, are supporting organizations making this journey.  We understand the ECC to S/4HANA journey and the actions you must take during the strategy development and sourcing execution phases in order to set a solid foundation for your program.
