SAP Solution: ERP 6.0

SAP had originally planned to end mainstream maintenance for SAP Business Suite 7 (ERP/ECC 6.0) at the end of 2025. This deadline caused significant concern within the SAP community because it was considered unrealistic and potentially disastrous, especially given the severe shortage of qualified experts and consultants for the S/4 migration.
There is always room for improvement, and working with SAP software is always subject to a learning curve. Were the many modifications really necessary?
What analysts predict for the IT scene is tradition for the SAP community. Schizophrenic thinking is an ERP survival strategy for the existing SAP customer.
Things went very badly for SAP in 2015, and Supervisory Board Chairman Professor Hasso Plattner still had to justify his S/4 and Hana in the last days of the old year.
Cybernetics: The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. SAP seems to have recognized this wisdom for its own licensing model. Accordingly, it will be expensive. The "Professional User" is the goal.

Working on the SAP basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. 

This gives the Competence Center strategic importance for existing SAP customers. Regardless of the S/4 Hana operating model, topics such as Automation, Monitoring, Security, Application Lifecycle Management and Data Management the basis for S/4 operations.

For the second time, E3 magazine is organizing a summit for the SAP community in Salzburg to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana groundwork.
