    … with no control over their debt.
    Most or all of the money they earn goes to pay off their loan. The value of their work invariably becomes greater than the original sum of money borrowed.

  • How to Understand SAP's Advice on S4HANA Code Remediation

    ByPrimary Researcher

    Executive Summary

    SAP provides advice for remediating code for S/4HANA.
    We review the quality of this advice (as well as the organization of SAP content) to help the client rather than help SAP.

    Introduction
    SAP has published its perspective on remediating code for S/4HANA. Both SAP and its consulting partners have consistently underrepresented the complexity involved in code remediation to customers to make the migration to S/4HANA seem to be less work and less cost than it is. This has been done to get companies to underestimate the complexity and cost of the implementation so they are …

    Conclusion
    This article is counter-intuitive. Customers are directed to “talk to their SAP rep,” but what do you find out when you do? Deloitte has to direct them because they are just a consulting arm of SAP. Deloitte has a partnership agreement with SAP, as we covered in the article How to Understand the Pitfalls of a Vendor Partnership with SAP, and they value their relationship with SAP far more than with any client.
    For this reason, the SAP consulting companies stay away from offering any advice that might contradict …

  • How to Understand Forrester's Fake S/4HANA TCO Study

    ByPrimary Researcher

    … Supply Chains Lead to Lack of Inventory Visibility?
    “Our supply chain from extraction to market is exceedingly complicated. We have over 157 different avenues for how we go to market. By the numbers, we have 60,000 unique materials, 6,000 vendors, 4,000 customers, and an additional 10,000 partners.”
    S/4HANA’s supply chain functionality still lags ECC by a substantial margin. Secondly, a complex supply chain should not impact inventory management. No matter how many, each of these locations is a simple setup as a plant material combination connected to another plant material combination. I have personally …

  • How to Understand the MRP Ninja

    ByPrimary Researcher

    Executive Summary

    As part of a partnership, we also offer an external MRP optimizer that can replace the MRP functionality within any ERP system.
