Are you concerned your organisation lacks S/4HANA migration experience?
With the 2027 maintenance deadline for ECC 6 fast approaching, do you have the internal skills to successfully manage and govern your migration to S/4HANA?
You’re not alone - 63% of organisations worry that a lack of available skills will slow down their move to S/4HANA.
That’s why we created the UKISUG S/4HANA Academy - training designed by customers, for customers, delivered by a user community with 30+ years of SAP experience (and the battle scars to prove it!).
Who is the S/4HANA Academy aimed at?
The Academy content is highly tailored to meet the needs of a range of different user personas. If you are an IT Project Management, a Database Admin, an Infrastructure Lead, a Developer, Basis Specialist, Enterprise Architect or a Business Analyst, then this course is for you.
The S/4HANA Academy aims to address:
- A lack of alignment in current training materials
- Gaps within existing content
- Insufficient hands-on training – 86% of organisations say insufficient hands-on training prevents them from maximising their SAP investments
Through working closely with the UKISUG user and partner community, our S/4HANA Academy offers a one-stop shop to upskill, reskill and develop the next-generation of SAP talent.
