Picking the right path to SAP S/4HANA

Time is running out to move to SAP S/4HANA, but the current adoption rate doesn’t reflect that reality. Only 33% of SAP ECC users have purchased or subscribed to licenses that would indicate the start of a transition to SAP S/4HANA.

As a result, many SAP ECC users are facing a challenge. They must decide how they will move forward with their mission critical SAP software, and they must make those decisions quickly.

If you’re looking for the fastest and easiest way to get your organization to SAP S/4HANA success, download this e-book for your guide to the most effective paths.
