Deloitte SAP Practice Reports 60% Rise in AI-Readiness Assessments Across EMEA

Deloitte's European SAP practice has reported a 60% year-on-year increase in demand for AI readiness assessments and S4 HANA migration scoping engagements. The firm attributes the surge to growing board-level awareness of the 2027 ECC end-of-maintenance deadline combined with mounting pressure to demonstrate AI ROI. Deloitte has responded by deploying a standardised 10-day assessment framework that delivers a migration roadmap and AI maturity score. The firm notes that clients in financial services and retail are leading adoption, while public sector organisations remain the most cautious.
