Insights in this document were gathered during reference interviews as part of the IDC MarketScape: European SAP Modernization Services 2024 Vendor Assessment (IDC #EUR151806724), which evaluated service providers based in Europe. While vendors vary in terms of their capabilities and strengths (as highlighted in the market evaluation), there were common themes and advice provided by reference customers on how they approach SAP modernization at the enterprise scale. This IDC PeerScape offers advice to IT and business executives on how they can ensure success in the modernization of SAP and migration to S4/HANA. "SAP modernization is a powerful opportunity to transform how a business runs and how people work. Across industries, we see that the true value emerges when modernization efforts translate into streamlined workflows, improved data quality, and faster decision-making for end users. Success depends on matching technology to business goals and guaranteeing real improvements," says Cyrille Chausson, Research Manager, European Application Modernization Strategies, IDC.
