SAP Experts Podcast Episode 47: SUSEs incredible journey to SAP S/4HANA Cloud - Sebastian Drews, Friedrich Krey

​ When you and your company are in a digitalization initiative, your biggest enemy often is hesitation. On this episode I have two guests, who did not have time for that. Imagine a situation in which you have been given 16 months to deploy S/4 HANA to 33 entities. And since the company we are talking about is freshly carved out, you are alone, without something like an existing IT department. Plenty of reason to state this is impossible. Not for today’s guests because that’s what they have just done. I am stunned to welcome the CIO of SUSE, Mr. Sebastian Drews and EMEA market director Friedrich Krey to our podcast who are going to tell us how they managed to deliver this feat thanks to S/4HANA Cloud and the power of SUSE Linux. Incredible story here, at the SAP Experts Podcast.
