For organizations that have recently transitioned from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, particularly within the oil and gas industry, what are the most valuable lessons learned from the migration?
I am especially interested in insights related to:
- Plant Maintenance (PM) and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) processes
- Master data quality and governance challenges
- Functional location and equipment data migration
- Work management and maintenance planning impacts
- Integration with materials management, procurement, and inventory
- Reporting, KPIs, and analytics improvements (e.g., Fiori, Embedded Analytics)
- Changes to maintenance scheduling, notifications, and work orders
- Mobility solutions and field execution
- User adoption, training, and change management
- Reliability engineering processes and data visibility
- Unexpected challenges encountered post go-live
- Benefits realized versus original business case expectations
Looking back, what would you do differently if you were starting the ECC-to-S/4HANA journey again?
