FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions
  • Q1. What kind of ERP is SAP S/4HANA?
    SAP S/4HANA is an in-memory ERP that unifies and automates core business processes across finance, supply chain, and production. With real-time analytics, predictive insights, and agile decision-making, it is the leading platform driving digital transformation for global enterprises.
  • Q2. How should companies prepare for the end of ECC maintenance?
    ECC is supported with standard maintenance until 2027 and optional extended maintenance until 2030. However, new features are delivered only for S/4HANA, which may increase security, cost, and integration risks for ECC users. Proactive preparation with transition strategies and cost/time simulations is essential.
  • Q3. How can companies respond to SAP roadmap, licensing changes, and local ERP EOS?
    SAP is rapidly shifting to cloud-first and subscription-based licensing. At the same time, many domestic ERP systems are approaching their EOS (End of Support). Instead of a simple replacement, enterprises should plan a transformation strategy that incorporates AI and automation. Based on proven project experience, Woongjin delivers tailored roadmaps to support EOS responses and migration.
  • Q4. How are AI-based automation and predictive features used?
    SAP S/4HANA leverages Joule Copilot, Fiori UX, and BTP AI services to enable financial automation, demand forecasting, and ESG reporting. By embedding AI strategies from the early stages of migration, enterprises can significantly enhance operational efficiency and competitiveness.
  • Q5. How long does it take to implement SAP S/4HANA?
    The implementation timeline depends on system size, module scope, and the choice between cloud and on-premise environments. Woongjin provides optimized schedules through pre-assessment, validates compatibility with GAP analysis and migration reports, and ensures stable transformation with extensive industry-specific references.
