Info-Tech Warns S/4HANA Migration Risk Rises If Partners Drive Strategy

Arlington, Va. – September 19, 2026 -- Organizations that hand strategic S/4HANA migration decisions to implementation partners face higher risks of cost overruns, project delays, and outcomes misaligned with business priorities, according to new research from Info-Tech Research Group. The warning comes as SAP's end of mainstream maintenance for ECC in 2027 forces enterprises to finalize migration plans.

Info-Tech says implementation partners lack full business context for critical trade-offs

Info-Tech's Build Your S/4HANA Migration Plan blueprint states that while technical partners are essential for execution, they cannot determine organizational priorities, transformation goals, or acceptable trade-offs. These decisions influence deployment strategy, governance, and organizational change throughout the migration.
