In part­ner­ship with Hitachi, this ASUG web­cast will deliv­er insights designed to sup­port your work with SAP technology.

We aim to demys­ti­fy and shed some light on how you can get more from your migra­tion to SAP S/4HANA in the cloud.There are three key top­ics to think about as you imple­ment and man­age your tran­si­tion to an SAP S/4HANA cloud envi­ron­ment (mul­ti-cloud/hy­brid) so your enter­prise is more agile and respon­sive to mar­ket needs.

1. Pic­ture Your Ide­al State and Then Nav­i­gate Back to Over­come Challenges

• Whether you are plan­ning to tran­si­tion entire­ly to the cloud — or take a hybrid approach and lever­age exist­ing or new on-premis­es infra­struc­ture for some appli­ca­tions while mov­ing oth­ers to the cloud — you need a robust plan.
• Keep any chal­lenges or con­cerns such as cost, per­for­mance, secu­ri­ty, pri­va­cy, com­pli­ance, and data resilien­cy in mind as you devise a plan and archi­tec­tur­al design around your portfolio.

2. Re-exam­ine Tal­ent and Resources that Facil­i­tate Your Tran­si­tion Plan

• Mov­ing to SAP S/4HANA in a hyper­scale cloud envi­ron­ment requires appli­ca­tion expe­ri­ence, user expe­ri­ence, and envi­ron­men­tal expertise.
• Build a team or choose a part­ner that spe­cial­izes in selec­tiv­i­ty. (Peo­ple who know the ins and outs of what an SAPS/4HANA cloud migra­tion entails; what to leave behind to ensure greater accu­ra­cy, few­er errors, or omissions;and how to achieve busi­ness val­ue in the new environment.)

3. Build Once, Deploy Anywhere,and Man­age Consistently

• Mov­ing from an on-premis­es envi­ron­ment to the cloud means for­feit­ing exist­ing invest­ments. How­ev­er, the move deliv­ers more sig­nif­i­cant ben­e­fits such as inno­va­tion and com­pet­i­tive advantages.
• There­fore, the orga­ni­za­tion needs to take a step back and think holis­ti­cal­ly to boost resilien­cy and performance.
