S/4HANA: Plattform für die Zukunft oder nächstes teures ERP-System? | Westphal & Sanden

Many companies celebrate the SAP S/4HANA go-live as the culmination of their transformation. However, this is precisely when the decisive phase of the process begins. After the go-live, it becomes clear whether S/4HANA will become the platform for the future or simply remain another expensive ERP system. What questions should decision-makers ask themselves and answer? What tasks lie ahead for CIOs after the S/4HANA migration? The two SAP Community Insiders discuss SAP and IT architecture, Clean Core, cost calculations, operating models, operational processes, and automation options. The crucial question after the S/4HANA migration is not: Is the system running? But rather: Is our architecture ready for continuous change, data-driven decisions, and AI-supported business processes? Westphal & Sanden are: Sebastian Westphal: Former DSAG Chief Technology Officer and Head of Digitalization, Processes, and Systems at Deutsche Bahn AG. Helge Sanden: Founder of the IT online magazine and, after the sale, trend scout, keynote speaker, and moderator in the SAP community. PS: They also have a prediction for who will win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
