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.

Space image digital future predictions

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.
