ISG Smartalks™ Webinar to Share Strategies for Optimizing SAP S/4HANA Costs

Driving significant cost savings and risk reduction in SAP S/4HANA licensing agreements will be the focus of the next ISG Smartalks™ webinar hosted by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

Ed Armstrong, director, and John Szente, principal consultant, ISG Network and Software Advisory, will host “Optimizing Your S/4HANA On-Premise License and Cloud Subscription Costs,” Tuesday, February 25 at 11 a.m., U.S. Eastern Time. The live, one-hour webinar will explore how users can design a flexible contract and leverage their existing investments to reduce subscription costs for S/4HANA, and examine case studies of ISG’s work helping clients migrate from SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) to SAP S/4HANA.

“The S/4HANA portfolio continues to gain the confidence of enterprises in the U.S., despite a general lack of understanding of SAP S/4HANA licensing and contract options,” Armstrong said. “Companies that successfully optimize license and subscription costs can leverage the platform for savings, automate their business processes and reduce risk and complexity in their ERP landscape.”

Armstrong noted that ISG research finds enterprises are growing more optimistic about the S/4HANA portfolio, but are generally taking a careful, business-needs-driven approach toward S/4HANA adoption.

“SAP has been making regular version updates to S/4HANA to become an integral stakeholder in its clients’ growth, while service providers are increasing the number of their professionals certified on SAP services,” he said. “For enterprises that are ready to migrate, we look forward to sharing key insights on building leverage with SAP, employing effective negotiation strategies, and showing them what success looks like.”
