"Are you an SAP Person?"... - I don’t post here often, but I thought I take this occasion (including the cliché type of photo:-) ...After 16 years, I certainly became an “SAP person”. That was a newspaper Ad-Title I saw back then in the longinquus south of Brazil and the first time I heard about SAP. Conveniently, SAP decided to open a Labs right next door betting on a fairly unknown location in the global IT stage, lucky me :-). A couple of hours into the onboarding sessions, I asked: “OK, but what exactly are we  developing here?” The answer was: “#HCM” --“and, what is that?” “hmm.. you will work with #Payroll…”. My immediate thought was, “well, OK for a start..." :-)  it turned out we were highly effective teams enhancing and growing the SAP standard HCM (PA,PT,PY) solution. We would actually read the laws/regulations of different countries, design the solution, discuss with the experts abroad, be our own PM, architect, developer, project manager, support customers on how to implement, “pilot” and ultimately fix our own bugs (that was before the agile era). Imagine how exciting that was for an young career starter, I will never forget those times. Fast forward... I am extremely grateful to SAP as it transformed my life, since long I made my home around the peculiar Walldorf region and practically became a native “Badener”. Now, my wife and I will no longer count as an SAP couple, but we will manage it. I made so many friends at SAP and got to work with brilliant colleagues and leaders. It was truly a privilege connecting to the global network of #SAP_HCM customers, implementation partners and the world of #HR_IT, working closely with so many companies of all different sizes and countries. Also an amazing privilege to have built and delivered SAP HCM software –on-premise back in the day, and in the cloud enhancing the awesome  #SuccessFactors #EmployeeCentral and working with customers on their #HR_transformation.  #HCM is such a great area (wasn't that my initial thought? 😊) and the cloud transformation is full of potential. Now it is time for me to move beyond the SAP mothership towards new opportunities in a well-known and familiar ecosystem. See you around!

SAP in the DACH Region: Insights from the Field The SAP landscape in DACH is bustling with innovation, but there are some clear trends and challenges shaping the market: 1. The S/4HANA Migration Hustle 🏃♂️💨: With SAP’s 2027 deadline to migrate from ECC to S/4HANA, we’re seeing companies accelerate their transition plans. But migration comes with complex challenges—scoping, budgeting, and reskilling teams have all been hot topics as companies work to stay ahead. 2. The German-Speaking Talent Crunch 🗣️ : There’s no shortage of demand for SAP professionals who speak German, but the supply is tight. As projects ramp up, companies are finding that German-speaking expertise is not just a “nice-to-have” but often a hard requirement, especially for client-facing roles. 3. Balancing Cloud vs. On-Prem Choices ☁️🔄 : While many companies are drawn to SAP’s cloud-based RISE initiative, others are staying firmly on-prem due to data sovereignty concerns. The decision between cloud migration and traditional setups has been one of the biggest conversations among stakeholders. 4. Sustainability and ESG Integration 🌍🌱 : DACH companies are taking ESG seriously, and SAP’s tools for sustainability and compliance are in demand. Integrating these tools into the broader ERP landscape is top of mind for many SAP clients here, with a sharp focus on achieving measurable impact. The #SAP ecosystem in DACH is full of activity, and these themes are only expected to intensify. If you’re a German-speaking consultant or an SAP-driven business navigating these waters, there’s never been a better time to connect! 📧 l.oconnell@interex-group.com

*** How to bridge the talent gap within the SAP ecosystem *** A recent Forbes article jolted the business landscape, highlighting that the biggest talent gap in the tech business is within the SAP ecosystem. This significant talent scarcity isn't just a challenge for SAP and its implementation partners; it's a critical concern for the customer organizations utilizing SAP, which is often overlooked. This leads to massive risk on two fronts: 1. Transformational Potential: Only customers who continued exploring innovative capabilities beyond SAP ECC in 2005 can evolve into Digital Champions equipped to navigate 21st-century challenges. 2. The Risk of Stagnation: Organizations relying on lean migration without embracing SAP S/4HANA's new capabilities risk stagnation. This path leads to a comfort zone with a diminishing knowledge base, posing existential threats. So what does the SAP ecosystem need? Two things: 1. Shift to SaaS Cloud Environments: A collective move toward SaaS cloud environments, like SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, provides friendly pressure to stay current with innovations, fostering continuous improvement. 2. True Partnership for Innovation: SAP and its partners must prioritize leveraging innovative capabilities. It's not about sales theatrics; it's about genuine collaboration, enabling customers to achieve what was previously deemed unattainable. In an era where adaptability is paramount, this mantra is more crucial than ever: SAP users who find themselves uncertain about harnessing the innovative capabilities of SAP's next-gen technology will face challenges, when neither SAP nor its consulting partners possess enough knowledgeable experts capable of providing strategic guidance to customers. Without adept guidance, users may struggle to fully utilize the advanced capabilities, features, and functions embedded in SAP's cutting-edge technology. Let's collectively embrace innovation, bridge the talent gap, and empower businesses to thrive in the digital era. #SAPInnovation #DigitalTransformation Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dift9j7d
