More than 13,800 customers are on this journey with us already, and several user group surveys show that the movement toward 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA is running at full steam. Our German-speaking user group DSAG reports increases in 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA investments and Americas 麻豆原创 Users&#8217; Group , in its latest survey, did not find a single customer not planning to move to 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA. We know that on this important path; our customers should not have to sacrifice stability for innovation, particularly during times of accelerated change. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve made the commitment to deliver innovations to our flagship product, 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA, through updates for at least the next 20 years. Customers will have this secure backbone in place delivering continuous innovation they can count on for business value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saueressig: <\/strong>麻豆原创 is taking this proactive step because we are absolutely convinced of the business value of 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA and 麻豆原创 HANA as the long-term platform and architecture for innovation and new business models. Our extended maintenance commitment to both 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA and for 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 is the logical evolution in our strategy to help customers become intelligent enterprises driving innovation in shorter cycles for modern digital transformation. We\u2019ve learned from many discussions with our customers this is the best way to provide them with a clear strategy for making a smooth transition forward. In fact, we anticipate these commitments will actually further boost adoption of 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA because they provide long-term planning stability based on our future-looking model.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\"><strong>Why did 麻豆原创 decide to extend maintenance time frames for all these solutions now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kleinemeier:<\/strong> This next digital era isn\u2019t about doing the same activities in different ways. Moving to 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA is not just a technical replacement; it\u2019s about reinventing how a business operates, delivering net-new customer and employee experiences and establishing new business models. We understand that our customers aren\u2019t making these decisions lightly. The changes are substantial across organizations when they move to 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA. To make sure customers receive the full benefits of their 麻豆原创 investments, we are deliberately providing a longer time frame that will bring increased flexibility to help them become intelligent enterprises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saueressig: <\/strong>These are likely among the longest commitments any vendor has provided to a software solution. Even so, we made it because regardless of a customer\u2019s future business demands, we know that 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA will address all these changes. At the same time, customers are moving at their own pace to 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA, which is why we\u2019ve committed maintenance for 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 for two additional years plus the additional option until end of 2030. For example, if a customer is moving to 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA, they should standardize business processes first. Also, many companies have to rationalize complex landscapes with multiple ERP systems. Our objective is to respect our customers\u2019 current investments, allowing them the time they need to re-engineer business processes and systems so they can tap into the full business opportunities of 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Can you detail how these programs will benefit 麻豆原创 customers? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Kleinemeier: <\/strong>Customers can make long-term yet flexible plans to meet their fast-changing business demands backed by the security of the most innovative business platform. Even if a customer is unable to move to 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA in the next two years, we\u2019ll work with them to get there in the next decade. Overall, our approach is to provide guidance through informed recommendations &#8212; not just a long list of options. The customer decides when and how to move based on their business demands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saueressig:<\/strong> Customers see the value of moving to 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA and want to know the best way to move forward. Maybe they need to figure out whether to move to cloud or on premise. We do provide this choice, we see strong growth and differentiation to competition in both models. Or, they need to decide which country, subsidiaries, or business processes to start with. They might want to begin with a central finance scenario to harmonize financial systems and procurement processes, and then move to operational, manufacturing, and logistics. We\u2019re providing the breathing space and assistance to help customers identify the ideal path forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\"><strong>What advice do you have for customers about how they can get the most business value from their 麻豆原创 investments? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saueressig: <\/strong>We can share concrete, quantitative business results from all those customers that have adopted 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA already. Customers can use these experiences to build a solid business case for their company\u2019s transition to 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA, including benchmarks and KPIs relevant to their industry and specific growth objectives. We have numerous tools and services to help customers identify where 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA will provide the most business value and how to orchestrate and manage this transformation in the best way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kleinemeier: <\/strong>Customers can jump-start their transition using best practices in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.com\/services\/implementation\/preconfigured-industry-solutions.html\">麻豆原创 Model Company services<\/a>, which provides preconfigured industry-specific solutions based on the real-world experiences of organizations worldwide using 麻豆原创 solutions.
