Expansion Section: Published Studies on S/4HANA Implementations

The 350 number is from ASUG and their 2016 survey which was critiqued by Brightwork in an article entitled Analysis of ASUG’s SAP HANA Adoption Survey . This survey was published a year ago, from the publication of this research paper you are reading, so ASUG’s 2017 survey will be higher. But in our review of ASUG’s media output on a variety of topics, it is clear that ASUG has transitioned from being a user group to be just another outlet through which SAP distributes press releases. In fact, while ASUG authors are attached to articles, it is not clear that ASUG authors are even writing the articles attributed to them. If ASUG is actively promoting S/4HANA and SAP generally, then ASUG cannot produce any research in the field. Biased sources lead to biased research results. ASUG spends time in their study describing their methodology. However, as with Gartner or Forrester, if the research entity takes money from those it is researching, the methodology does not matter. This is an extremely well-understood topic in academic research. But is a problem in the enterprise software space because private industry is not setup very well to fund research that is truly independent. For this reason, whatever ASUG’s estimate, the real number is considerably lower. Brightwork developed an estimate of S/4HANA implementations which is lower than the commonly presented estimates. Unsurprisingly, the Brightwork estimates differ greatly from an organization like ASUG that is highly intertwined with SAP. Now that we have set the table with pertinent information that is necessary to know in order to interpret the study, we will move into the study itself.

How SAP Resources Make False Statements About Brightwork Research
ByPrimary Researcher August 1, 2019March 24, 2021

… says nothing about “ditching” HANA.
SAP has reduced its emphasis on SAP. First, it switched to Leonardo, and now the focus is Experience Management. They have not yet reversed the course on S/4HANA locked to HANA. However, overall, my predictions on HANA have been quite accurate. More accurate than Gartner, Deloitte, Forrester, etc. I include John Appleby’s accuracy on HANA by comparing how John Appleby Was So Wrong About His HANA Predictions.

IDC Takes Money to Publish SAP Provided Sample on S/4HANA
ByPrimary Researcher June 30, 2019May 4, 2021

… someone thought they would try to see what bleach tastes. As with all of SAP’s sponsored research, it requires some idiot label.

Is a warning label the primary thing standing between you and adding Clorox to your martini?
If so, SAP sponsored research is for you. IDC, Forrester, and Gartner are all open for business when it comes to sponsored research and publishing falsified numbers based upon data that you provide to them. SAP and SAP resources refer to this as “solid research.”
Since S/4HANA was first introduced, every entity connected to SAP has been wildly inaccurate in …

Why SAP Will Charge a Premium for 2025 ECC Support

The approved pathway has nothing to do with anything outside of the incentives that are created by SAP and communicated to their sales reps.
Who Will Tell SAP Customers the Truth on Post 2025 ECC Support?
Customers can expect no helpful advice from entities like the SAP consulting partners, Gartner, Forrester, or ASUG — all who will repeat SAP talking points.
It will fall to the contract negotiation firms, those that negotiate on the part of SAP customers and have no partnerships with SAP. Any firm that has a partnership with SAP is obligated to repeat whatever SAP says.

How IBM is Distracting from the Watson Failure to Sell More AI
ByPrimary Researcher June 13, 2019April 17, 2021

… Gartner, by next year there will likely be a large and growing market for Watson-derived smart advisors and it said that Crédit Agricole predicted that these systems will account for more than 12 percent of IBM’s total revenue in 2018.”
Curiously, none of this came to pass, and Gartner once again fails on another prediction. And one wonders if being paid by IBM may have influenced this accuracy level.

How to Compete Against S/4HANA
ByPrimary Researcher June 12, 2019March 25, 2021

The Reality of the Competition
SAP has made an enormous marketing and sales push around S/4HANA. They have not only the major IT analysts like Gartner and Forrester in their pocket, but they also have a multi-million person consulting ecosystem that is trying to convince customers to upgrade from ECC to S/4HANA or to switch to S/4HANA.
What is a vendor without these resources to do to compete?
Tell your prospects the truth about S/4HANA. And there is no better source on this topic than our study into S/4HANA implementations since S/4HANA was …

If you check the rules of research, there is never a requirement that a certain number of the article be positive. The construct of positive or negative does not exist in a research construct.
Secondly, do you hold Deloitte, Gartner, Wipro, Diginomic to a standard of writing both positive and negative articles about SAP?
Have you written articles that call into question Deloitte’s independence because Deloitte’s information on SAP, which is entirely promotional, coin-operated it too positive? Did you write this article? How about Infosys’s …
