The migration to SAP S/4HANA represents a strategic moment for companies seeking efficiency and innovation. However, facing the challenges of customization becomes a complex journey that directly impacts the success of this process.
A common pitfall is the complexity derived from excessive customizations in the versions of the ERP currently in use, making the system architecture intricate.
This complicates understanding and, consequently, the migration to SAP S/4HANA. Additionally, complex interdependencies between different processes can pose considerable operational challenges.
Resistance to adopting innovations is another recurring concern when it comes to migration. Maintaining customized processes can limit the full utilization of the new platform’s benefits and hinder the implementation of improvements and advanced features offered by SAP S/4HANA.
Financial and Operational Impacts
The costs and time associated with the migration of customizations are often cited as critical aspects.
Most migration processes available in the market require substantial resources, leading to costs beyond the planned budget and an extension of the timeline.
Furthermore, maintaining a highly customized system often hinders continuous compatibility with SAP S/4HANA updates, resulting in constant operational challenges and increased costs.
Specific Challenges for Long-Term SAP ECC Users
Clients who have used SAP ECC for many years face even greater challenges, especially when working with special customizations to the software.
The so-called “customization trap” arises when the customized environment becomes so complex that the upgrade requires monumental effort.
These clients with older customizations face significant difficulties. During the migration to S/4HANA, it is necessary to revert to the standard, complicating the process, especially for users who need to relearn how to work.
