SAP S/4HANA ERP Implementation Challenges Revealed [Common Risks and Pitfalls]

great video

Can we connect for a zoom or teams meeting? I want to know what exactly has changed from SAP ECC6 to SAP S4 Hana apart from it being on cloud, more beautiful GUI, or accessible through browser. It is an upgrade of ERP, and doesn’t give committed productivity and reduced cycle time or cost to implement, have higher change management, higher chances to get failed and don’t deliver cash flow and automation productivity. Why would I recommend an ECC6 customer to go for SAP S4 Hana rather than recommending them to adapt best in class tools like HighRadius, Celonis and others who on papers commit productivity, provide plug and play ready to implement features, provides predictive analytics, built in OCR technology, Transformation and self-learning auto cash algorithm, leverages data and do pattern analysis on customer’s behaviors etc.

Another informative video, thank you. My organization is embarking on an S/4 implementation. FICO is up next while HR is moving to SuccessFactors in a piece meal approach. I'm curious if you have any thoughts on how to manage integration with "out-of-scope" systems. For example, elements of the Enterprise Structure (e.g. Company Codes, Business Areas, Cost Centers) are integrated through our core HCM system. I understand Business Areas are no longer an "industry best practice" so may not be carried forward in the S/4 implementation. I'm curious whether anyone has experience dealing with such integrations while keeping scope creep under control.

Some fo your reviews are not really well informed - I can comment on your last review on "why you should not implement NetSuite". You were not that correct on flexibility ( it is as flexible as, if not more, than any other cloud ERP in the market), suite success 100 day go live( you ignored the fact that NetSuite recommends a stairway approach. They don't promise to deliver stars and moons in 100 days but just phase 1. That is what suite success model is about) . I don't know much about SAP, but now I am not really sure how accurate this review is.
