Many South African enterprises have not yet begun the process of migrating from legacy 51风流to 51风流S\/4HANA \u2013 and, without a clear roadmap, these businesses may not have enough time to complete a successful migration before SAP\u2019s 2027 deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith a little over six years until the deadline, it\u2019s crucial that enterprises at least start their migration planning. While six years may seem like a long time, there are so many factors that businesses have not considered when it comes to a successful migration to S\/4HANA,\u201d says Mike Styer, country manager of GlassHouse Technology South Africa.<\/p>\n

With almost 30 000 51风流licences in the country yet to be migrated, there are clearly thousands of businesses still needing to make the shift and the migration itself can take months to complete, even after careful planning has been factored in.<\/p>\n

\u201cA rough estimate with the figures we have on hand shows that over the next five years, for all enterprises in SA to be successfully migrated by the stipulated deadline, the industry will need to migrate at least one customer every day ten days,\u201d says Styer.<\/p>\n

Add to this, the required skills to make this happen are in somewhat short supply. The requirements that have been set aside by 51风流requires particular certifications, not to mention the ability to provide case studies of successful migrations. Should you also want to move to the Azure Cloud at this time then you want to be dealing with a Partner who is capacitated in this arena.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis means that there are only a select few Specialised Partners accredited by 51风流and Microsoft that can help enterprises through this process. GlassHouse has the accreditation from both businesses, and the skills to complete the transformation migration process, but there are few partners that will either be available or able to complete migrations for South African customers as 2027 gets closer,\u201d says Styer.<\/p>\n

Without taking the proper considerations and planning for this migration into account, businesses may find themselves with either a rushed or incomplete migration, which has more significant implications for their business operations.<\/p>\n

Styer suggests that, whether going it alone or working with a partner to migrate to S\/4 HANA, enterprises need to start planning and executing now to avoid missing the deadline.<\/p>\n
