Don’t treat your move to S/4HANA as a simple technical migration

Ensure your transition to S/4HANA is not viewed as a technical migration; otherwise, you risk missing out on potential benefits and may underestimate the total
project effort required.

After: Peak Performance

Congratulations, you made it!

Once you make it to the S/4HANA summit, the work to maintain and maximize your S/4HANA investment is just beginning. Here’s a field guide to the benefits of choosing the right tools for your transition to S/4HANA.

  • Adoption
  • Less disruption
  • Data quality

Adoption

Higher user adoption

40% of early adopters of S/4HANA identified “Need to train users on new systems” as the main challenge during the implementation. In contrast, only 20% of organizations at a “considering” stage, mentioned training as a potential challenge.

40 %

Main challenge:

Need to train users on new systems

Less disruption

Less business disruption

Using SAP-certified tools that can support the business during the migration process, but also for business as usual in the new architecture, helps reduce business disruption and enables teams to reap the benefits of the new system immediately.

90 %

Average time organizations save on maintaining Business Partners (BP transaction) in S/4HANA with Winshuttle.

Data quality

Better data quality

To take advantage of HANA’s real-time analytics for better decision making, it’s essential that your data is entered into SAP right the first time.

With Winshuttle, we were able to significantly improve our data quality during the migration to S/4HANA and, thus, our productivity.
