In a Nutshell
Have you heard how the SAP Transformation Navigator has evolved over the last year? It has helped customers analyze their current implementation, and then provided them with company-specific guidance. It's helped assemble the best possible solution portfolio to realize business benefits from a future SAP S/4HANA-centric environment.
SAP Transformation Navigator – One Year Later
SAPPHIRE NOW 2018 marked the SAP Transformation Navigator’s one-year birthday. And, our customers and partners came out to celebrate: the SAP Transformation Navigator's topic station was the 2nd most visited booth of the whole conference, with over 1200 visitors. Experts hosted over 300 one-on-one concept and deep-dive sessions; and that’s in addition to the various other presentations and demonstrations.
Customer’s shared some their initial reactions on the tool with our SAP experts …
“With this tool, I can now go on vacation for a couple of weeks.”
“This is fantastic, I’ll look very smart in our company when we use this tool”
“BAM! - you just made my job very simple”
Returning customers were impressed with how many enhancements have been made to the tool in just one year. The time slider function allows customers to assess the best point in time for them to engage in a transformation. There are also now industry-specific templates for customers to begin their product map creation, instead of creating it from scratch. There have been numerous other usability improvements as well. In addition, the Transformation Navigator plays a strategic role in helping our customers become an intelligent enterprise. In this SAPPHIRE Best Run session, SAP Industries co-leads, Lori Mitchell-Keller and Peter Maier, shared their thoughts on how becoming an intelligent enterprise will help your organization generate value and open up business opportunities. They also highlighted how the Transformation Navigator can help organizations chart the path on their journey to becoming an intelligent enterprise. Watch the session replay to learn more:

Enhancements

- Click to 'Trial & Demo': the tool will link to and integrate trial versions and demos of products & capabilities, so users can learn more about their functionality and try them out in a real system;
