For companies serious about capturing transformational opportunities in the digital economy, implementing a single on-premise ERP system with its high cost and complexity can be a significant detour on this preferred path to innovation.
For reasons including flexibility, low cost to entry, lower TCO, speed to deployment, and modern application architecture, organizations are instead adopting hybrid ERP landscapes, where significant elements of ERP functionality will move to the cloud and co-exist with the remaining core, on-premise ERP functions. This session examines the driving forces behind this modern, forward-looking application strategy, and explores use cases and considerations for developing an optimized ERP application strategy.
By joining, you will come away with a deeper understanding for why this approach is the preferred strategy for companies that embrace the concept of transformational change. This session will cover:
• SAP S/4HANA and hybrid cloud solutions addressing business needs of todays ERP world
• Hybrid cloud customer cases
• Cloud managed services and line of business integration
