Wellesley Information Services (WIS), a leading market research and intelligence firm specializing in enterprise software technologies, including the largest independent membership site of global SAP users, SAPinsider (www.SAPinsiderOnline.com), released the results of a benchmark report titled "SAP S/4HANA: State of the Market." The SAPinsider survey generated more than 400 responses from 196 SAP customer companies between February and March 2019. Results revealed that a majority (70 percent) of respondents are moving in some way toward SAP S/4HANA, and the benchmark report takes an in-depth look into the data behind this finding, including how customers are approaching the move, the outcomes that customers are reporting, and the actions businesses can take to ensure a successful project.
With the release of the inaugural benchmark report, SAPinsider has rewritten the rules of research to provide actionable deliverables from its fact-based approach. SAPinsider applies a proprietary research methodology that evaluates the drivers, actions, requirements and technologies (DART) that dictate corporate behavior, as it relates to specific processes and projects, to provide actionable insights.
The "State of the Market" report provides key insights into where customers currently are on their SAP S/4HANA journey. The analysis includes the factors driving ERP strategies, distinctions between the plans of Leaders (early adopters), the Industry Average (in various stages of evaluating SAP S/4HANA), and Laggards (companies that have not yet made plans to move to SAP S/4HANA), and the outcomes that each is experiencing. From this analysis, the report delivers actionable insights for Leaders, the Industry Average, and Laggards, including steps to success for each.
“The results reveal that the time to move to SAP S/4HANA is now,” said report author Rizal Ahmed, Chief Research Officer at Wellesley Information Services. “The end of support for SAP ECC is coming, and the majority of leaders are reporting an average implementation time of 7-12 months. Even Laggards can set themselves on a path toward success by following the example of those who have already moved forward.”
The survey demographics of over 400 participants included CXOs, VPs and directors, managers, architects, analysts, developers and administrators and project managers from varying company sizes across a wide range of industries worldwide, including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East and Australia.
The independent study, conducted in partnership with SAP, was underwritten in part by Dell EMC, oXya, Panaya, SUSE and VMware.
