What are some of the common roadblocks our customers are facing as they consider a shift to S4 HANA? Is it business process? Is it IT operations?

@TeddyBGame, believe first and foremost criteria for S4 HANA transition is the business readiness to digital transformation

John Furrier
I think that security is a key roadblock @TeddyBGame

Zach Shay
@teddybgame Iā€™ve fielded both categories of roadblocks in discussions with customers.

Zach Shay
Regarding IT operationsā€¦ Balancing resources between As-Is and To-Be can be tricky, and HEC is providing a bridge for this transition by helping the business focus more on innovation & less on keeping the lights on.

Ted Basile
@ZachShayATL, what's the most common roadblock you field? Spare no detail.....in 256 characters or less. :)

Ted Basile
@furrier I agree with security, it's a key discussion point. But we have federal customers using HEC who've moved beyond that hurdle once they learned about our framework for securing the network.

Zach Shay
@teddybgame Comfortability seems to be the most common road block I field. HEC reduces the risk of this journey, enables customers to move at their own pace, and begins a partnership for long-term innovation.

#SAPHEC itā€™s a way to move customer from that legacy SAP environment to a cloud stage & ultimately the ability to consume public cloud or SaaS based solution

Question: Whatā€™s the impact of AWS GCP Azure for Hana solutions for customers specifically? Is this just a cloud option? What does it the AWS Hana Enterprise Cloud relationship mean for customers?

I'm especially impressed with your investments in putting AI into the IoT under the Leonardo portfolio.

Many SAP customers that I talk to are saying ā€œI have this legacy set of solutions .. how do I get it to the cloudā€.

Did everyone hear SAP's announcement that we are now offering multicloud options with AWS, Azure, and Google? What are the #sapHEC customers saying at #SAPPHIRE2017? http://www.zdnet.com...
SAP now offering multicloud option with AWS, Azure, Google | ZDNet
The multicloud offering will see customers able to use cloud services from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, in addition to the SAP Cloud Platform.

I think the AWS relationship is very interesting bc its been 4yrs going on so more legit than Azure and Google

Lisa Panzram
Yes, version exciting news indeed!!

jameskobielus
I saw that. Very impressive that you can run SAP PaaS software in each of the 3 principal public clouds. I'm sure your customers want that, plus multi-cloud interop, for their enterprise apps.

John Furrier
Multi-cloud is the hot trend. The gateway drug to mulit-cloud is #hybridcloud #theCUBE

@furrier Spot on! Not all businesses want to choose between private and public cloud strategies and now - they don't have to!
