Speaking to The Register, Conor Riordan said users were cautious about migrating legacy ERP systems—which are part of ERP Central Component (ECC)—to the cloud and the latest S/4HANA ERP system simultaneously. In January 2021, the German software giant launched RISE with SAP to lift and shift complex SAP environments into public, private, and hybrid clouds. This will help customers move to a new architecture working with one hand to shake, facilitating partnership deals with cloud hyperscalers, systems integrators, and other third parties. https://lnkd.in/eYArqEu6
