The Seven Most Common Pitfalls in Moving from SAP to S/4HANA are :

  1. Lack of planning and strategy: Failure to properly plan and strategize for the transition can lead to delays, budget overruns and other problems(including disgruntled end users)
  2. Insufficient resources: Insufficient resources, such as trained staff and budget, can hinder the transition process.
  3. Incomplete migration of data: Failure to migrate all data from the old to the new system can result in loss of important information and disruption of business operations.
  4. Customization challenges: S/4HANA has a different architecture than previous SAP systems, which can make customization difficult.
  5. Integration issues: S/4HANA must integrate with other systems and processes, which can be a challenge if not properly planned.
  6. Change management: Moving to a new system requires changes to processes and procedures, which can be difficult to manage and implement.
