Beaucoup de nos clients ont opté pour des implémentations S/4HANA, et plusieurs ont déployé S/4HANA avec succès dans le passé. Par ailleurs, notre expertise ne se limite pas à cela ; nous assistons de nombreux clients avec d’autres éditeurs de logiciels, en les guidant dans leur transformation digitale. Une tendance récurrente que nous observons, en particulier avec les implémentations S/4HANA, est qu’un nombre croissant d’entre elles rencontrent des difficultés. Certaines échouent même, sont retardées ou complètement annulées. Lorsque nous évaluons notre base de clients et la gamme de technologies que nous aidons à déployer, ce sont les implémentations S/4HANA qui ressortent comme les plus problématiques. En comparaison avec Oracle, Microsoft D365, NetSuite, Workday, Epicor, et d’autres technologies, S/4HANA a la plus grande incidence de problèmes parmi notre clientèle. En effet, nous avons été témoins de plus d’annulations de mises en œuvre de S/4HANA que de tout autre déploiement technologique.
SaaS, Private Cloud, and Public Cloud Software: What are the Differences, Pros, and Cons?

When formulating a digital strategy, a paramount decision is the type of technology the organization will deploy. As the majority of software vendors are transitioning to the cloud, the pertinent question is not about moving to the cloud, but rather which cloud solution best aligns with the organization’s needs. Within the cloud domain, there are two primary options: Software as a Service (SaaS) and private cloud solutions. It’s vital to understand the distinctions between these two, ascertain which is optimal for the organization, and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each. This discussion will delve into these considerations.

This discussion aims to address the factors you should consider and evaluate when choosing potential third-party ERP experts.

Es stellt sich die Frage: Warum ist das so? Und welche Maßnahmen kann man ergreifen, um einen ähnlichen Ausgang zu verhindern? Dieses Thema steht heute im Mittelpunkt der Diskussion.Viele unserer Kunden haben sich für S/4HANA-Implementierungen entschieden, und einige haben S/4HANA in der Vergangenheit erfolgreich eingesetzt. Darüber hinaus unterstützen wir zahlreiche Kunden mit anderen Softwareanbietern und begleiten sie bei ihrer digitalen Transformation. Ein wiederkehrender Trend, den wir insbesondere bei S/4HANA-Implementierungen beobachten, ist, dass immer mehr Menschen auf Hindernisse stoßen. Einige scheitern sogar daran, werden verschoben oder ganz eingestellt. Wenn wir unseren Kundenstamm und die Palette der Technologien, bei deren Einführung wir helfen, bewerten, sind es die S/4HANA-Implementierungen, die als die problematischsten herausstechen. Im Vergleich zu Oracle, Microsoft D365, NetSuite, Workday, Epicor, und anderen Technologien, verursacht S/4HANA die meisten Probleme bei unseren Kunden. In der Tat haben wir mehr Einstellungen von S/4HANA-Implementierungen erlebt als von jeder anderen Technologie-Implementierung.

How to Define a Future State Operating Model in Digital Transformations and ERP Implementations

When embarking on a digital transformation, establishing an operating model for a future state vision of your organization is vital. This foundational blueprint is analogous to constructing a house. Just as one would not initiate building a house without a comprehensive architectural blueprint, organizations should not start digital transformations without a clear vision. Regrettably, many organizations impulsively begin implementations, erroneously hoping that technology alone will guide their evolution. Instead, the most successful organizations delineate a clear vision and operating model. This model offers direction during the implementation, ensuring adherence to the intended path and realization of the anticipated business value from the digital transformation.
