SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud delivers innovation twice a year - but are you using it? Discover what the 2602 release brings and how to turn upgrades into real business impact
Historically, IT upgrades were seen as a “necessary evil”, focused on risk mitigation rather than value creation. This reactive approach often led to delayed migrations and large, disruptive projects that missed out on incremental innovation.
Today, upgrades should drive value and feature activation. For organisations on SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, it’s easier than ever to unlock the innovation included in your licence.
SAP delivers new capabilities twice a year - streamlining processes, embedding intelligence, and strengthening best practices. The value is already in your hands, yet many businesses don’t take advantage of it.
