SAP S/4HANA is on every SAP lead’s mind. For many companies, migrating from SAP Business Suite 7 is well underway — and IT departments of all sizes are faced with the challenge of how to accelerate and simplify their conversion.

In this video, we explore how to make your SAP S/4HANA conversion less painful and look at how a low-code, rapid application development (RAD) means your IT department can keep innovating over the course of a long-term project. Watch to learn how a modern RAD approach helps close functional and technical gaps to perfect your transformation to SAP S/4HANA.

Designing modern and innovative applications needs to go hand in hand with the organizational and architectural legacy of your business. Your enterprise apps should be usable like B2C apps. This is when your RAD platform comes into play. It needs to cater for this uniqueness of your SAP-focused IT landscape and processes to successfully drive your SAP S/4HANA transformation.
