Enterprises will spend years and hundreds of millions migrating to S/4HANA. There's one figure that could accelerate that return significantly — yet it rarely appears in the project plan.   In our latest blog, we explore: • The S/4HANA migration metric no one is tracking • Where even strong programs begin to lose time • Why friction in the change process has a direct impact on cost and return • Three moves that can help teams protect momentum earlier • How ActiveControl and ActiveDiscover help bring go-live forward with Intelligent Change Management   If you are looking at your S/4HANA program and wondering where the time is really going, it is worth a read: https://lnkd.in/e_6Sx5qS

Live from the UKISUG floor! We asked John (João) Dias what he’s hearing from SAP teams on the ground today. One theme keeps coming up: many teams are still relying on manual ways of working, and they know it is slowing change down. Again and again, the conversation comes back to the same point: the business wants to move faster, but SAP change is still being held to slower, more manual ways of working. This is the Agility Gap playing out in real time. If you’re here today and want to hear more, join John (João) Dias this afternoon from 3:50–4:20 in the Harley Suite for our session: Reinventing SAP Change: How Kimberly-Clark Accelerated S/4HANA Migration with Intelligent Change Management.

If you’re attending the UKISUG - UK & Ireland SAP User Group S/4HANA Symposium today, here’s your route from the door to the Basis Technologies team. We’re looking forward to conversations with SAP teams navigating the realities of S/4HANA transformation - what’s working, what’s challenging, and how to execute the right changes at the speed the business demands. Then this afternoon, from 3:50–4:20, join John (João) Dias in the Harley Suite for our session: Reinventing SAP Change: How Kimberly-Clark Accelerated S/4HANA Migration with Intelligent Change Management. It's going to be a great day ahead!

Nigel Ross and Ross Nolan are in Perth today for the SAP Australian User Group event at the SAP office. With a full house and standing room only for conversations around innovation in action, it is clear the challenge is no longer just delivering change safely. It is delivering it at the speed of business. That is why Intelligent Change Management is becoming such an important conversation — giving teams the visibility, control, and automation they need to move faster with confidence. If you’re there, go and say hello!

We’re at UKISUG - UK & Ireland SAP User Group S/4HANA Symposium today! If you’re attending, come and find the Basis Technologies team at our table in the main hall or join our session in the Harley Suite from 3:50–4:20, Reinventing SAP Change: How Kimberly-Clark Accelerated S/4HANA Migration with Intelligent Change Management.

Tomorrow we’re heading to the UKISUG - UK & Ireland SAP User Group S/4HANA Symposium.   Looking forward to conversations with SAP teams navigating the realities of S/4HANA transformation - what’s working, what’s challenging, and where change is slowing things down.   If you’re attending, come and find us in the main hall or join our session in the Harley Suite from 3:50–4:20, Reinventing SAP Change: How Kimberly-Clark Accelerated S/4HANA Migration with Intelligent Change Management.   See you there!

It’s great to hear this kind of feedback and to see ActiveControl included in the conversation. The opportunity beyond ChaRM is much bigger than a like for like replacement. For enterprises managing parallel tracks, ongoing transformation, and continuous delivery demands, the challenge is about alignment, visibility, and reducing the operational drag that builds over time. That is where Intelligent Change Management becomes such an important part of the conversation.

Great to catch up with Sören Ruder, David Birkenbach and the wider SAP team on Day 2 of SAP ALM Summit North America as we continue to build integration between Cloud ALM and Klario to help customers drive the right changes at the speed of business. That made David Lees’s session especially relevant: "How agent-led change design in Klario extends Cloud ALM to help close the Agility Gap." It was great to see strong engagement around a topic that is clearly part of a much bigger conversation. The opportunity beyond ChaRM is much bigger than a like-for-like replacement. It is a chance to build Intelligent Change Management capabilities that reflect the pace and complexity of modern SAP estates. That matters because the Agility Gap - what the business demands in terms of pace from SAP and what SAP change teams can safely deliver - is real, measurable, and costly. For complex environments, the conversation has now evolved to be about building a smarter, safer, more insight-driven model for SAP change. If you’re at SAP ALM Summit North America, stop by the Basis Technologies table to continue the conversation. Looking forward to Day 3!

We’re on the ground at SAP ALM Summit North America, and the conversation is already moving. From this morning’s hands-on workshop with our Enterprise Architect Mark Rooker, alongside Joshua Greenbaum, and Todd Hassell to the discussions happening across the floor, one thing is clear: SAP teams are under growing pressure to deliver change faster, with more clarity and less friction. Tomorrow, our CTO David Lees will dig into exactly that in his session: How agent-led change design in Klario extends Cloud ALM to close the Agility Gap 📍 April 15 | 4:30–5:00 PM | Auditorium If you’re here, come see us. Find David Lees, Eran Kriegshauser, and Dan Tosello at the table, or join the session tomorrow. The conversation is well underway.

What David Lees and Trevor Ticehurst speak to here is what many teams are already experiencing firsthand: the challenge is no longer transformation itself, but delivering change at the speed the business now demands, without losing control. That is where The Agility Gap shows up (the widening distance between how fast your business needs to move and how fast your current SAP change process allows it to move). The idea that speed and safety sit in opposition is no longer defensible. It is time to challenge the assumption that slowing down reduces risk.
