We're excited to announce that the Journey to S/4HANA Symposium - Ireland is taking place on Tuesday 13th June 2023 in Belfast. You will be able to get insights from experts on S/4HANA topics and network with like-minded professionals.
Ray Barratt and Simon Carpenter from SAP are confirmed as Keynote speakers for the day and will also be taking part in a keynote panel discussion. Any questions you have for the panel can be submitted in advance.
Gustav Botha from Resulting IT and Kevin McDonald from Transport for London will be presenting on ''Mind the Gap: How TfL de-risked their S/4 migration and connected SAP to their business strategy'' at their keynote session. Many organisations are struggling to move from SAP ECC to S/4HANA. The level of investment and the impact on business is enormous meaning they can’t create a business case that justifies the cost and disruption.
For the last 3 years, Resulting IT has been working with TfL to overcome this problem and to help them get business value from S/4 migration.
In this session, you’ll see every step of the journey, gain an understanding of the approach, and discuss some of the key points, including:
This session will equip you with the proven approach you need to create a strong business case and create your own roadmap to S/4 migration.
We will be joined by different partners including G3G, NTT DATA Business Solutions, Smartshift, SoftwareOne and Resulting IT after lunch at the breakout sessions for in-depth discussion over different topics within the Journey to S/4HANA. Pfizer will also be sharing their Bluefield journey to date, along with two other sessions covered by SAP.
