SAP’s decision to extend S/4HANA Compatibility Pack usage rights to May 2026 isn’t a reprieve; it’s a final transition window. Compatibility Packs were always designed as temporary bridges. This short extension makes it clear that we’ve moved from “if we exit” to “exactly when and how we exit.” With the May deadline looming, classic SAP ERP functions embedded in S/4HANA on-premise must be replaced. There’s no open-ended runway left as delays increase the risk of rushed decisions, business disruption, or sub-optimal migrations. This is no longer a future-state discussion. Architects and program owners need clarity on remaining Compatibility Pack dependencies and a sequenced remediation plan. What we’re seeing in our region is that organisations that treat this as a data-led transformation problem, not just a technical upgrade, are moving faster and with less risk. Understanding what data moves, what stays, and how processes transition is now critical. This final extension is best viewed as a planning gift — not extra time to wait. May 2026 will arrive quickly and the organisations that succeed will be the ones already executing. How are you approaching your Compatibility Pack exit strategies right now? #SAPS4HANA #SNPGroup #ERP

Day 1 of Champions of Manufacturing — honestly, it felt less like a traditional conference and more like the official reveal of a new QAD. This wasn't a product showcase. It was a statement. A strategic reset. And that came through clearly in the speech led by QAD's CEO Sanjay Brahmawar. and the executive team. What they delivered today wasn't a keynote. It was a rare, transparent walk-through of how a company rethinks itself with discipline, urgency, and ambition. It started with something you don't often hear on big stages: QAD openly acknowledged its gaps, shared the tough feedback from customers, and showed exactly how they acted on it. The result? An AI-first strategy — transforming the ERP from a "system of record" into a true system of action. Here's what stood out most: Their SWOT analysis was exceptionally well done. They owned what needed fixing. They doubled down on what already worked. And they added exactly what was missing. The outcome? RedZone + Adaptive ERP + Champion AI paint a picture of an ERP that doesn't wait. Doesn't rely on hidden spreadsheets. Doesn't slow down operations. It's an ERP that thinks with you, spots friction, predicts impact, recommends next steps, and acts. And it wasn't just talk. Across breakout sessions, everything was shown in action: • AI agents detecting issues in seconds • Real-time production and scheduling adjustments • A fully integrated WMS (no bolt-ons, no delays) • Inventory optimization simulations targeting 15–30% cost reductions • Testimonials from companies already using the solution in real environments What impressed me most? This strategy didn't come from hype. It came from real manufacturing pain points — and the clear understanding that speed is no longer a competitive advantage. It's survival. And today, QAD showed it truly understands this moment. Leaving Day 1, it's clear: the company has turned a major corner — and the ERP market for manufacturing is about to shift. Day 2 starts tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to what comes next. #ChampionsOfManufacturing #QAD #ERP #Manufacturing
