SAP customers must move to SAP S/4HANA by 2027 to stay compliant, but many are hesitant to do so. Although 78% of organizations in North America are planning an S/4HANA move, only 31% have started using it, according to a CIO article. The UK & Ireland SAP User Group (UKISUG) reports 89% and 25%, respectively. Moving to S/4HANA can take three to four years, according to Roland Berger, and requires a high investment at a time when companies are tightening their belts.
Picture the SAP Kernel as the heartbeat of the system, vitalizing the core programs upon which the fundamental functionality of SAP applications rely on. It's the life force pulsing through the application server, executable programs, database, and operating system, rather than merely encompassing them within itself. SAP Kernel upgrades refer to updating the system's current executables with upgraded versions. These upgrades are essential to patch security vulnerabilities and fix bugs. Besides bug fixing, SAP Kernel upgrades improve hardware compatibility, boost speed, and enhance stability.
