SAP modernization is not just an ERP migration problem; it is a process modernization and orchestration challenge.
As manufacturers move toward S/4HANA, clean-core models and AI-enabled operations, the workflows surrounding SAP such as supplier issues, quality deviations, maintenance events and AI-assisted decisions determine if modernization actually improves how work gets done.
These workflows cut across SAP, MES, QMS, SCADA, PLM, EAM/CMMS, planning systems, supplier portals, content repositories, analytics platforms and the business users who act on all of it. Left unaddressed, they stay fragmented, hard to monitor, and difficult to govern at scale, even after the modernization.
This whitepaper proposes a modernization approach where SAP remains the system of record for core transactions and master data, while process orchestration manages the surrounding cross-system workflows, approvals, exceptions, documents, human decisions and operating KPIs.
What's inside?
-
Why S/4HANA and clean-core adoption raise the stakes on process orchestration, not just data migration
-
Where critical manufacturing workflows break down across SAP, MES, QMS, PLM, EAM/CMMS and supplier systems
-
A framework for separating what SAP should own from what orchestration should manage
-
What manufacturers risk by modernizing SAP without addressing the workflows around it
Read the full whitepaper to see how leading manufacturers are approaching this shift.
