What to Expect:

The City of Char­lottesville has relied on SAP for more than two decades to sup­port its munic­i­pal gov­ern­ment and util­i­ty oper­a­tions. Fac­ing the approach­ing end of sup­port for SAP ECC, the city embarked on a year-long trans­for­ma­tion to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, pri­vate edi­tion, while work­ing with lim­it­ed inter­nal resources and pre­serv­ing its exist­ing process­es, his­tor­i­cal data, and chart of accounts.

Glen E. Pack, Finance Assis­tant Direc­tor for the City of Char­lottesville, will share the deci­sions, chal­lenges, and lessons that shaped the city’s journey. 

Leave this ses­sion with prac­ti­cal con­sid­er­a­tions for plan­ning an SAP S/4HANA trans­for­ma­tion, man­ag­ing costs and resources, prepar­ing users for change, and build­ing a sta­ble foun­da­tion for future modernization.

In this ASUG Com­mu­ni­ty Con­ver­sa­tion, we will:

• Under­stand how a small munic­i­pal gov­ern­ment eval­u­at­ed its options and select­ed SAP S/4HANA Cloud, pri­vate edition.
• Learn prac­ti­cal lessons from data migra­tion, SAP Fiori adop­tion, pub­lic-sec­tor finance, pay­roll, and util­i­ty-relat­ed requirements.
• Explore how Char­lottesville planned for long-term costs, inter­nal sup­port, and future SAP expan­sion while oper­at­ing with lim­it­ed resources.
