The SAP services market is strategically evolving from traditional enterprise software to a key digital transformation driver. With initiatives such as RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP, the focus has now shifted to cloud adoption, AI integration, and sustainability.

With 60-70% of enterprises yet to migrate to S/4HANA, the upcoming migration wave will reshape the market. Scalable approaches such as brownfield and hybrid strategies are vital to balance business continuity with transformation. Providers are addressing the rising demand for customized solutions by investing in industry-specific accelerators, enhancing S/4HANA expertise, and strengthening hyperscaler partnerships. This ecosystem-driven approach simplifies migrations, accelerates deployment, and delivers tangible business outcomes at a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

As SAP’s innovations align with S/4HANA migrations’ urgency, enterprises must strategically prepare to seize these opportunities, ensuring smooth migrations that drive digital transformation and sustainable value.

The Vendor Management System (VMS) is gaining importance as organizations seek solutions to manage their contingent workforce. Companies across industries and geographies, including previously untapped segments like the mid-market, now rely on contingent workers to meet business demands. As a result, VMS technology providers are developing capabilities to meet clients’ unique requirements and comprehensively address end-to-end Contingent Workforce Management (CWM) needs.

VMSs are developing capabilities to support all contingent talent categories, manage compliance, handle invoicing and payments, provide reporting and analytics, create talent pools, and source providers and candidates. Additionally, they are enhancing their VMS solutions’ User Interface (UI) / User Experience (UX), services procurement, total talent solutions, integration capabilities, and AI integration.
