7个考虑将SAP ECC迁移至S/4HANA的原因

Core Insights - The report highlights seven key deficiencies of SAP ECC that hinder organizations from realizing their full potential and emphasizes the importance of migrating to SAP S/4HANA for digital transformation [2][20]. Group 1: Limitations of SAP ECC - Limited scalability and flexibility of SAP ECC compared to modern ERP systems like SAP S/4HANA Cloud, making it difficult for organizations to adapt to market demands [4]. - SAP ECC is based on outdated technology, which may not support the latest innovations and features available in modern ERP systems, potentially causing organizations to fall behind competitors [5]. - The reporting and analytical capabilities of SAP ECC are less powerful and user-friendly than those of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, leading to slower decision-making and lack of real-time insights into business operations [9]. Group 2: Financial Implications - Organizations running SAP ECC may face higher system maintenance and update costs, especially as technology becomes more outdated, while cloud-based solutions like SAP S/4HANA Cloud typically have lower maintenance costs and offer automatic updates [12]. - Migrating from legacy systems to cloud-based ERP solutions can save companies up to 40% in maintenance costs [13]. Group 3: Integration and Customization Challenges - SAP ECC may struggle to integrate seamlessly with modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced analytics tools, limiting organizations' ability to leverage these technologies for competitive advantage [15]. - Many organizations using SAP ECC rely on custom code to meet unique business needs, which can become difficult to maintain over time and may not be compatible with new systems or updates, leading to increased costs and reduced efficiency [15][16]. Group 4: Future Considerations - As SAP focuses on new products like SAP S/4HANA, organizations using SAP ECC may find that support and resources from SAP decrease over time, making it more challenging to resolve issues or implement new features [18]. - Over 90% of SAP's R&D investment is now concentrated on SAP S/4HANA and related technologies, indicating a shift in company priorities [19].
