SAP recently announced that its customers have until 2025 to migrate from ECC, R/3, and Business One to S/4HANA. But this is largely a marketing and sales tactic meant to create a false sense of urgency. This episode outlines the five things you should do to navigate this situation:

2. Go through your transformation at your own pace - not SAP's, or any vendor's, for that matter

3. Consider all of your options, comparing S4/HANA to other leading ERP systems

4. Define a clear digital strategy that fits your needs

5. Create and execute an implementation readiness plan prior to bringing in a systems integrator to start implementing
