The first Pubic Sector event of the year will be taking place online and will be focusing on the move to S/4HANA Public Cloud and AI-Powered Intelligence with SAP SuccessFactors, as well as a closed-door virtual Roundtable for Public Sector professionals only

Don Valentine from Absoft will be delivering a session on SAP S/4HANA Debunked: Implementing Public Cloud for a UK local authority

Public Sector organisations often find themselves operating on mature SAP landscapes, recognising the imperative need for modernisation. However, the daunting task of planning a migration to S/4HANA, coupled with internal barriers, poses a significant challenge. In this presentation, Absoft will shed light on a real-life case study, detailing our collaboration with a local authority. The aim is to demystify the steps and processes involved in moving to S/4HANA Public Cloud and provide insights into the crucial mindset shift required for a successful migration.

In navigating the modernisation journey for Public Sector organisations transitioning to S/4HANA, a detailed analysis of available S/4HANA options is crucial. Tailoring these options to address Public Sector intricacies ensures informed decision-making aligned with sector-specific requirements.

Embarking on a tangible example of S/4HANA Public Cloud implementation, we showcase the transformative journey of a local authority, their decision making, preparations needed for a successful transition and next steps. This case study offers practical insights into challenges faced and overcome during implementation.

Simultaneously, our exploration extends to internal barriers, challenges, and perceptions hindering local authorities from embracing ERP system modernisation and transitioning to S/4HANA. This involves delving into the mindset shift required for successful modernisation efforts, emphasising the prioritisation of elements such as change management, budgets, and mitigating disruptions.

Reasons to attend this session:

  • A review and clarity on the S/4HANA options available with Public Sector specific processes and system complexities in mind
  • Break-down of real-case S/4HANA Public Cloud implementation with a local authority and their journey to S/4HANA
  • Addressing internal barriers, challenges and perceptions local authorities currently face, which stop them from modernising their ERP system/moving to S/4HANA

You will also get to hear from Donald Ross from SAP who will be talking about AI-Powered Intelligence with SAP SuccessFactors for Public Sector
