SAP ECC to S/4HANA: What Teams Facing 2027 Need to Decide
If you're still on ECC, the challenge isn't knowing you need to move. It's deciding how to move, what to change along the way and how to avoid expensive decisions you'll have to undo later. Brownfield, greenfield, selective data transition, RISE or GROW can all look viable on paper. The harder question is what they mean once you start delivering.
Across three days, get beyond the theory and learn from organisations already navigating those decisions. Hear how Brisbane City Council governed a complex S/4HANA build across multiple partners, why SA Power Networks is taking a continuous-improvement approach, and how Warner Bros. Discovery is balancing speed with control. Put your questions directly to SAP experts and compare approaches with peers, so you leave with a clearer path forward and fewer unknowns in your own transformation.
