S/4HANA Core Track
Real-World Perspectives. Faster migration. Deliver value in the cloud.
S/4HANA is no longer a future goal - it’s a pressing project for many, and a lived experience for others. This track looks beyond the glossy brochures to examine the decisions, trade-offs, and lessons that shape how organisations are running or migrating to S/4. From deployment models (RISE, GROW, private cloud, on-prem) to system architecture, operational costs, and skills challenges, we’ll explore what’s working, what’s proving hard, and how teams are keeping the business onboard. If you’re working through the why, when or how of S/4HANA, this track offers practical insight from those doing it for real.
