The solution? Collaborating with SAP!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear what\u2019s happening: more S\/4 functionalities mean more difficult integrations mean many more customized products. The solution? Collaborating with SAP!<\/p>\n<p>As counterintuitive as this might seem at first, collaborating with the ERP giant is a viable long-term strategy for customers.<\/p>\n<p>Users can actively demand the creation or development of new features, for example through user groups. If three or more customers demand similar innovations, there\u2019s a good chance that SAP will listen.<\/p>\n<p>Many customized solutions are only created to avoid having to buy expensive add-ons. Customers don\u2019t use add-ons like the treasury module, the commodity pricing engine or the master data management module and just develop their own solutions instead.<\/p>\n<h3>No additional licenses for S\/4 Hana functionalities<\/h3>\n<p>This shows that most customers don\u2019t need the full functional scopes of these add-ons and instead develop their own easier solutions to match their requirements. Maybe SAP should sell less and listen more.<\/p>\n<p>Customers want to use some processes and functionalities without immediately having to pay for additional licenses. Subsequent licensing fees impede collaboration between SAP and customer. Discounts discredit SAP\u2019s pricing and product policy.<\/p>\n<p>Theoretically, SAP knows all of this \u2013 but practically, it hasn\u2019t done nearly enough to combat these developments.<\/p>\n<p>For example, SAP support has gotten significantly better over the past few years. In the long term, it\u2019s more viable to work with SAP directly to fix problems.<\/p>\n<p>However, there\u2019s still a lot of effort involved on the customer\u2019s part, which is why many users try to fix the problem themselves. This approach might seem quicker and less cumbersome, but it will actually lead to more problems down the road.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e3magpmp.greatsolution.dev\/en\/partners\/adventas-consulting-gmbh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"The pure s\/4 hana\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15364 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/e3magpmp.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI_ADVENTAS.jpg\" alt=\"https:\/\/e3magpmp.greatsolution.dev\/partners\/adventas-consulting-gmbh\/\" width=\"1000\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3magpmp.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI_ADVENTAS.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/e3magpmp.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI_ADVENTAS-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3magpmp.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI_ADVENTAS-100x11.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3magpmp.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI_ADVENTAS-480x54.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3magpmp.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI_ADVENTAS-640x72.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3magpmp.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI_ADVENTAS-720x81.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3magpmp.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI_ADVENTAS-960x108.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clean, lean, agile: this is what customers expect from S\/4 Hana.
