S/4HANA Market and Trends

S/4HANA adoption has been slower than anticipated over past 2-3 years

Even the largest SAP customers are now starting to move

There is a major S/4HANA skills shortage on the horizon

BLUEFIELD™ opens the door to strategic planning and rapid delivery

Consulting firms and SAP are starting to back innovative approaches to accelerate adoption

The two common migration options are limited and there has been too much focus on 2025
