docuflow for IT Directors
Modernize SAP for a Lower TCO and More Automation Opportunities
The IT Director’s Challenge
IT Directors responsible for SAP are tasked with ensuring the reliability, scalability, and security of the enterprise’s SAP environment—essentially the heartbeat of the organization. If SAP goes down, the business stops.
Once operational stability is secured, the next priority is driving Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) reduction while keeping SAP modern enough to support evolving business, industry, and technology needs.
The biggest obstacle? Technical Debt. SAP environments are often heavily customized and tightly integrated with legacy systems, making modernization expensive and complex. As a result, most IT budgets are consumed by maintenance, leaving little room for innovation.
This challenge is coming to a head with the shift to S/4HANA. Aging archiving systems, bloated databases, and limited flexibility are major roadblocks to adopting automation, AI, and modern collaboration tools.
To address this, SAP recommends:
- Migrating to the cloud
- Keeping the core clean (avoiding customizations)
- Embracing innovations like low-code/no-code platforms and AI-driven tools
