The future of S/4 Hana is still uncertain. SAP guarantees software maintenance until 2040, but until then and beyond? There are already numerous business and organizational challenges that cannot be solved with the standard processes of the S/4 private and public cloud.
Many existing SAP customers are about to transfer their Abap modifications to a future S/4 Hana system. What happens to the innovations in the Z namespace? Neither the SAP Private Cloud nor the Public Cloud provide satisfactory answers to this question. There are still media discontinuities in many SAP business processes and there is a lack of verified end-to-end scenarios. Third-party systems will continue to supply external data to S/4 in the future. S/4 Hana will become an integrated part of a composable ERP over the next few years. Only with Business Technology Platform, SAP BTP, can the rescue of successful Abap modifications, the development of new E2E processes and the orchestration of a Composable ERP succeed.
The Steampunk and BTP Summit 2024 provides the answers regarding an ERP architecture, CAP, RAP and BTP including and beyond S/4 Hana, because the ERP world and SAP community will not cease to exist after 2040.
