S/4HANA or RISE with SAP Which is the right choice for you?

December 31 2027 is the deadline for all SAP environments to adopt S/4HANA, as the old on premises ECC system becomes obsolete. The majority of SAP organizations have yet to make the move, but there’s no time to lose. Migration is a complex process which can take two to three years, from planning to licensing to rollout.

It’s well worth the effort. In addition to becoming compulsory for all SAP users, S/4HANA has multiple business advantages, including

An in memory database providing data and insights on demand Embedded AI and machine learning Options for hosting on prem, hybrid or in the cloud with a hyperscaler S/4HANA empowers you to move to the cloud and also retain significant control over your environment.

And the disadvantages? As a standalone, S/4HANA doesn’t provide the wide range of business transformation solutions and services that many organizations need, so they require additional subscriptions and contracts; this adds to complexity and cost.
