Common challenges for SAP operations

Enterprises have been reporting challenges in running their daily SAP operations. They report complexities associated with running a large number of SAP and non-SAP systems, often on heterogeneous environments across multiple locations and data centers. The following are challenges enterprises commonly face when manually operating an SAP system:

  • Lack of skills in the market

  • Coordination of resources

  • Time-consuming and slow operations

  • Complexity and high risk of error

  • System downtime that affects productivity

  • Increasing costs

  • Long lead times

  • Rigid processes

It takes many resources to keep the lights on and make sure SAP systems are compliant and supported. All of this hinders innovation and the adoption of new, agile technologies.
