3 surprising secrets of "Unchanging"
Change is inherently scary. ERP changes are scarier.
3 things to calm the nerves for your next upgrade.
1. The future remains in API & insights. Tables/SQL will change.
There's 850K+ tables in a typical SAP system.
MB51 TCODE alone has 212 SELECTS.
Your business manager cares about the outcome (What), not the (How).
With S4HANA, many tables/ relationships are changing, but the outcomes (TCODES/ reports / API's) remain stable.
Avoid wasting your precious $'s on what will change with S4HANA.
Invest steadily & surely in the constant: API + SAP. For process agility.
2. Stick ( & switch) to standard SAP
For 50+ years, SAP rigorously designed & delivered business process models.
Thats' why 425000+ orgs in 27+ industries pay a premium for it.
Including yours & mine.
Use it.
Its ours, paid by our $'s. 100% supported by SAP.
It is staying unchanged.

3. The Power of Now: Real-Time matters.
All the way back in 1972, SAP founders added R to the product name.
R stands for REALTIME. Instead of batch-processes in use then.
Every business manager you know wants to act upon in-time information.
Not copied data, from dark warehouses & unreliable information.
Take a hard look at copied data over pipelines. Build for realtime.
Summary: For a big change coming up, knowing whats going to remain consistent and pivoting on it is a time-proven approach.
