In the industrial world, digital transformation often comes with a big pause button.

Many organizations still believe that real maintenance optimization only starts after migrating to SAP S/4HANA. This mindset, while understandable, is costing valuable time — and value.

The reality? You don’t need to wait.

🚧 The Misconception: “Let’s Migrate First, Then Digitize”

We hear it all the time:

“Let’s get to S/4HANA first, and then we’ll look at modernizing maintenance.”

But maintenance teams are under pressure right now, facing daily operational challenges like:

• Reactive workflows
• Paper-based work orders
• Lack of mobile access
• Fragmented KPIs

So why postpone improvements when a solution already exists — one that works natively on both SAP ECC and S/4HANA?
