Most SAP transformations don’t fail outright. They overrun, stall or quietly under-deliver. Xmateria’s survey of more than 100 SAP customers and experts across the UK and Ireland reveals a striking consistency in where this happens and why: delays in addressing data challenges are one of the strongest predictors of programme disruption.
 
In this session, they will present the findings of our research, exposing the hidden patterns behind programme delay and disruption and showing how postponing hard data decisions early in an SAP programme consistently leads to longer timelines, higher costs and reduced business value.
 
The survey findings are drawn exclusively from the experience of SAP customers and experts. These proprietary findings, unavailable elsewhere, offer attendees a rare opportunity to benchmark their own programmes against peer experience and recognise the warning signs that most often precede data-led disruption. Attendees will leave with a clear view of how to prevent data procrastination becoming the defining risk in their own SAP programmes.
