The path to SAP S/4HANA is inevitable for much of the business fabric, but the conversation tends to focus almost exclusively on functionalities, modules and data. By doing so, many organizations are leaving a variable out of the equation that, if failed, has the potential to bring business to a halt. It is what experts call the foundational risk.
When approaching a transformation of this caliber, the question should not only be as we are going to migrate, but where our business will live for the next ten years. Does the same strategy that you used five years ago really work to support the demands of an intelligent ERP in real time?
The difference between migrate and transform
Red Hat has published the whitepaper «The intelligent foundation for digital transformation with SAP»a document that acts as a “reality check” for IT managers who are in the midst of planning or executing this change.
Far from being an instruction manual, this report sets out the structural dilemmas that differentiate a successful migration from one that becomes a drain on resources and overtime.
Why should you read it before taking the next step?
The document puts on the table uncomfortable but necessary questions about your technological preparation:
-
The illusion of stability: Are you assuming your current infrastructure will support the new frictionless workloads? The report analyzes why this assumption is often the main cause of unexpected post-migration declines.
-
The cost of complexity: As environments become more hybrid, management becomes fragmented. Discover at what point technological diversity stops being an advantage and becomes an unmanageable operational risk.
-
Preparation for the unknown: Day 1 of the migration is important, but day 2 is vital. This analysis will make you question whether your environment is ready to evolve or whether it will become obsolete as soon as it is implemented.

If you are leading your company’s technology strategy, you cannot afford to have blind spots. This whitepaper won’t give you SAP consulting, but it will give you something perhaps more valuable: the clarity on the foundation you need to make that consulting work.
Make sure your migration doesn’t have feet of clay.
