Migrate to SAP S/4HANA with Cognizant Smartmove

Intelligent Enterprises are characterized by their superior agility, efficiency and real-time insights.
With SAP® S/4HANA® at their core, Intelligent Enterprises are changing how work gets done, reacting in real time to critical insights and driving improved customer experiences. According to a recent Forrester study, companies that have moved from SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) to S/4HANA have, on average:
  • Improved customer satisfaction (44%)
  • Created cross-sell and upsell opportunities (37%)
  • Increased revenues (37%)
  • Generated new revenue streams (30%)
  • Reduced customer turnover (4.1%)
  • Improved IT productivity (5%)
While the conversion benefits are clear, the path to accomplishing it is not.
