Sneak Peek Into SAP S/4HANA

Especially with S/4HANA projects, there are challenges on both the client and therefore the resource side. this is often associated with the very fact that it’s a comparatively new technology, hence the scarcity of data and expertise. From a client perspective, they might wish to enjoy this new technology and thus got to upgrade their legacy system(s).

With all projects and particularly with S/4HANA there’s a requirement for resources that have the proper S/4HANA product knowledge and knowledge to utilize new functionality (e.g. Fiori, Reporting, optimized business processes etc.) and therefore the skill-set to feed the client with enough information. This on both process design therefore the client will benefit the maximum amount as possible from this great technology. this is often the part where the challenge starts, thanks to lack of experienced lead S/4HANA consultants clients cannot benefit fully from the new technology. Therefore, during the resourcing activity, there’s a requirement for significant attention for having a recruiter that understands the precise need in reference to the project and therefore the processes which will be implemented. Therefore, the client should be giving the recruiter enough information regarding the role and therefore the project itself. Any issue with this has an impression on the entire process and therefore the project. Next to the present, just in case of a world project, international experience and mindset play also a really important role. I personally have had several international projects whereby I had to exchange the project managers undue to their project management capability but mainly for issues with handling the local business culture. Therefore, this is often beside to content wise experience, a really important skill set that’s needed!
