Want to know a little more about the SAP S/4HANA migration process? Many companies that use SAP ERP are already aware that they need to think about SAP S/4HANA. This is because in 2027 SAP will no longer offer support services for ERP applications purchased on the SAP Netweaver platform.

What is SAP HANA?

First of all, you should know what SAP HANA is, since SAP S/4HANA runs on it. Also, that there are currently more than 33,000 customers who have SAP HANA. It was even until January 2021 that 16,000 users adopted this database.
