Minimize SAP Migration Challenges, Cybersecurity Maturity, and Radical Transparency – Christopher Carter – BSW #404
Are you running SAP? The clock is ticking... Standard maintenance end-of-life is set for the end of 2027. Migration to S/4HANA must be completed by then (or 2030 if you buy into SAP’s special three-year reprieve). While that may appear to be enough time, companies currently working toward an S/4HANA transition are finding the journey challenging, and that's not including the security challenges.
Chris Carter, CEO at Approyo, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss your SAP options, including:
- ERP Strategy: Stay with SAP or migrate to other solutions?
- S/4HANA Architecture: All cloud or cloud/on-premise?
- Security Challenges: Cloud vs. on-premise
- SAP Migration: Recommendations for success
