Inside SAP S/4HANA Cloud

In this episode of Inside SAP S/4HANA Cloud, host Owen McQuaide sits down with Andreas Eißmann, CEO and Founder of dinext Group — a 100% cloud consulting company that recently completed their own migration from SAP Business byDesign to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. Andreas shares what it's really like to go from consultant to customer, the lessons learned along the way, and how that experience has changed the way dinext Group supports its own clients.

In this episode:
- Why dinext Group chose SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition as the future of their ERP
- The phased implementation approach: Finance first, Professional Services second — and why they'd do it exactly the same way again
- Integration challenges with third-party tools and what to plan for
- Why change management was their biggest unexpected hurdle
- How SAP's transition tools and accelerators support mid-market migrations
- The AI and Joule opportunities Andreas sees reshaping ERP user experiences
