In this episode of SUGTalks, Craig is joined by Neil Gardner, Head of Cloud ERP, RISE with SAP. Together they unpack SAP ERP, private edition, transition option and discuss what it means for organisations on their journey to S/4HANA.

Neil explains why SAP introduced the Transition Option, who it’s aimed at and how it can help complex organisations manage their move to the cloud. Craig and Neil also discuss common misconceptions, the 2030 maintenance deadline, and why “doing nothing” comes with its own cost.
