Market Insights: Lower Your Costs and Risk for SAP S4/HANA on Your Journey to Cloud
Staying on SAP's path to the cloud can be riskier than you think, even if you delay the move to SAP S/4HANA.

With third-party support from Rimini Street, you can cut the cost of ongoing support for SAP, reinvest the savings and avoid a forced migration to S/4HANA. Or you can use what you save with cost-effective, high-quality support to offset the expense of beginning the reimplementation of your ERP on S/4HANA - but at your own pace. Watch Rimini Street VP of Market Research Pat Phelan explain how to lower the cost and risk posed by SAP's roadmap so you can focus on investments that drive competitive advantage.
