SAP Preferred Success is a strategic support program that enhances partner capabilities by providing expert guidance, operational efficiency, and proactive customer support, leading to faster implementation, increased customer satisfaction, and long-term growth. It reduces internal effort by 10% and release preparation time by 25%, with a three-year economic impact of $467,000 per organization. The program also improves visibility into customer adoption gaps, enabling partners to identify new service opportunities and strengthen relationships. Customers using SAP Preferred Success experience a 24% boost in user productivity and benefit from better feature adoption, which supports recurring revenue streams. Separately, Navteco, a machinery manufacturer, migrated its core systems from SAP R/3 to SAP S/4HANA to avoid end-of-support, reduce operational costs, and improve data management. The transition included implementing Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), which enhanced data centralization and automation, reducing complexity and manual work. These upgrades have enabled Navteco to respond flexibly to business changes, support growth, and develop internal expertise. Additionally, SAP is focusing on expanding its AI capabilities through partnerships like Nvidia, integrating advanced computing engines into its Business Technology Platform. However, there is concern among customers about SAP’s communication, strategic clarity, and the pace of innovation, as market share declines and competitors like Workday and Salesforce gain ground. SAP’s ongoing efforts include enhancing automation, security, and data management for S/4HANA, with upcoming community events in Salzburg to discuss foundational topics.
