Posted on July 29, 2021 by - News

Enterprises in the UK have been restarting SAP projects slowed or suspended during the pandemic and modifying their SAP platforms to adapt to Brexit-related changes, according to a new report published today by Information Services Group.

The 2021 ISG Provider Lens SAP HANA Ecosystem Services report for the UK found  companies in the country had temporarily halted or slowed SAP implementations as they focused on maintaining operations and controlling costs early in the pandemic. But since the second half of 2020, many stalled projects have gained momentum and the outlook for SAP in the region is positive, ISG says.

ISG Provider Lens Research partner Jan Erik Aase said: “SAP S/4HANA transformations and cloud implementations are now gaining speed in the UK. Digital transformations are helping enterprises meet new challenges from the pandemic, and service providers are adjusting to new realities.”

The 2021 ISG Provider Lens Next-Gen Private/Hybrid Cloud – Data Centre Services & Solutions report for the UK found companies were implementing hybrid IT solutions and IT operations led by artificial intelligence (AI) to optimise IT assets costs productivity and capacity and reduce short-term risks.

This trend is part of an ongoing expansion of outsourcing in the UK, ISG says.

ISG EMEA president Steve Hall said: “UK enterprises are turning to IT outsourcing to maximise both growth and productivity for a transformed post-pandemic economy. As a result, companies have started re-evaluating the balance between the IT resources they keep in-house and those they seek from partners.”
