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.
