West Trax benchmarks indicate that the majority of

production systems are currently at Maturity Level 3 or

lower.

The West Trax Maturity Model illustrates significant

decision points and life-cycle events for your SAP system.

Senior executives are aware of competitive business

imperatives driving migration to much publicised digital

transformation projects .

ROI, costs, resources, risks involved in migrating to higher

Maturity Levels are often unquantified.

It is essential to know exactly where you are starting from

before you start planning where you want to get to.

Do nothing is probably not a good option!
