Most IT Projects Fail: 75% of Projects Fall Short of Goals

IT projects are not always successful—such is the price of innovation. Yet, depending on the source, up to 85% of these projects fail, which seems astronomical. In contrast to other industries, developing information technology solutions has not decreased its failure rate over the past 20 years. The question is, what are the causes, and what can companies do to improve? Why is the failure rate so high, and what are possible strategies to reduce it? And what are the specific challenges of archiving legacy data?

IT projects often fail: not at AvenDATA

Failure is difficult to measure in IT. Many factors determine the success of a project, but there is no industry-wide terminology. According to German analysts, about half of all IT projects fail. Industry experts, noting the high number of unreported cases, put the failure rate for German companies at around 75%. This seems excessive, but Germany still performs better than many other countries.

According to the PMI Global Project Management Survey 2017, software projects in particular are notorious for falling short. A total of 14% are cancelled without any results, 31% do not meet their objectives, 43% exceed their budget and 49% exceed the agreed timeframe. Only 15% of projects are delivered as planned.

Since 1995, the CHAOS Report of the Standish Group has collected new numbers from the IT industry every two years. In 2015, only 15% of the cases examined were found to have successfully completed the project. Although this study refers to software development projects specifically, it provides an indication for the IT industry in general. Encouragingly, the report found that 66% of IT projects in Germany were generally successful. However, 19% were over budget, behind schedule or had limited functionality. 15% were considered a complete failure and were either cancelled without results or never used again.

Last year, AvenDATA was an outlier among German IT service providers regarding its success rate. The company was successful both in terms of budget and timeframe. This result is particularly interesting because legacy systems are responsible for a wide range of potential risks in corporate IT.

According to CEO Emanuel Böminghaus, target-oriented project management is the key to the company’s success: “All projects are budgeted with a fixed price in advance. Therefore, we are very interested in completing the projects on time and free of any errors”.

Why IT projects fail

A study by BITKOM e.V. found that 75% of all IT projects fail due to errors in the set-up phase. According to the study, the most common reasons for the failure of IT projects are unclear or inadequate requirements, incorrect time and budget planning, and inadequate communication between project participants. This is consistent with surveys conducted by the German Association of IT Users (VOICE e.V.).

This mismatch inevitably leads to an increasing number of organizations with legacy systems. It is therefore not surprising that 59 per cent of respondents believes that failures are likely to occur within the next three years. Respondents believe that legacy system failures will have a significant impact on the IT supply chain and business operations. This suggests that there is a growing need to refresh systems. Cloud technology is currently the best way to do this.

Metru Nui Archives data log 19487: Mysterious Disks

Log author: Chief Archivist Etoku

Category: Inanimate

Current location: Level 1, Anomalous Objects gallery.

A series of 55 brightly-coloured Kanoka-like disks (6 of the following: green, purple, tan, yellow, white and teal; 4 that looked white but glowed green while in darkness; 7 black; and 1 gold), each with a different image in the middle. They can be separated into several "sets", based on the imagery depicted on them:

The first set depict what appear to be elemental symbols, with four of them somewhat resembling the universal symbols for Fire (red), Ice (white), Lightning (purple), Water (yellow) and The Green (green), but a few do not match any symbols; these ones depict a mountain range (tan), seven radially-arranged arrows (black), and a cityscape bearing a slight resemblance to a style commonly employed by Steltian architects (teal).

The second set show what appear to be images of various natural phenomena; glowing sap emerging from within spiralled tree-bark, a small sphere being orbited by three more, cracked rock with lava within, an organic tentacle gripping what appears to be a golden sphere, a mass of icy crystals, a meteor impacting a planet, a large hendecagonal crystal surrounded by lava, some kind of rectangular container with a green glow emitting from within, and most intriguingly, a planet divided into several elemental segments.

The third set depict strange, boxy vehicles navigating various environments; some of the vehicles are shown being attacked or damaged, while other appear to be smoothly navigating their surroundings. One of the disks shows a creature resembling an Avohkah, but much larger and tinted purple, and another has a Takea-like creature in the background.

The fourth set appears to show scenes from a legend of some kind. The beings featured resemble carvings of ancient Toa, but with flatter, smoother heads similar to certain Rahi species. They are depicted in various situations, mostly throwing disks (presumably the ones described here) or fighting various creatures such as giant carnivorous plants in a jungle, some kind of large four-eyed creature in a city, and a vast Lightfish with some kind of pink organic matter within its bell. There are also disks showing these "pseudo-Toa" performing other actions, such as using an energy-beam to cut a channel into the ground for lava to flow through, summoning a Hau-style shield to protect against falling rocks, or running towards the viewer.

The fifth and final "set" isn't really as consistent as the other ones and only consists of three disks; one appears to be a close-up view of a "Pseudo Toa"'s face, the second depicts a meteor heading towards the planet depicted in the one of the second set's disks, and the third shows three "pseudo-Toa" standing on a rock, with the one in the middle being larger than the others.

What's most interesting is the strange markings at the bottom of each disk's face, consisting of a series of lines next to a red square with strange shapes in it. Archivist Mavrah pointed out that some of the symbols resemble letters in the Matoran alphabet, but I dismissed this as just a coincidence, and most of the other archivists concurred. There's also a curved piece of metal fitted along the top-left edge of each disk, with several small glowing orbs fitted inside; the number of orbs varies between each.

As of writing, none of us know where the disks originally came from, other than that they washed up on the coast of Onu-Metru a few weeks ago. Archivist Mamoru suggested they might be gifts from the Great Spirit, showing what is to come in the future. Guardsmatoran Kaj, who was taking time off from his very important job to gawk at the disks, mentioned that he thought he saw something fall into the sea near where the disks were found. Wherever they're from, I don't wish to go there. Looks a bit too adventurous for my tastes.

Archivist Mavrah volunteered to test if they'd be useable as Kanoka, but I refused, as I do not wish for them - or, for that matter, him - to get damaged.

End of log.

Day 76 (3/3)

Meridian

Inside the Hunter's Lodge, celebrations were well underway. The band was playing, people dancing. Still not up to joining in, but they seemed to be having fun. Varl was actually there, to my great surprise, but the other Nora hadn't come to join him. Once he'd gotten his mother to safety, the few remaning Nora had set up camp at the base of the Alight rather than rest and heal in the comfort of Meridian. I'm glad Varl was able to take even this small step toward shaking off his Nora superstitions.

Talanah was there too. She led me out to the balcony by the memorial she put together. She wanted to know where I was going next, what my plans were. I kept it vague. Delving, hunting, exploring the lands. What would be the point in telling her the truth? She has her own path to follow here at the lodge, training up promising hunters of all the tribes. It'll almost be a shame once I put a stop to the Derangement by fixing Gaia, for only one reason: life at the lodge will become a whole lot less fun.

Talanah went back inside to join the festivities, and I just stood there on the balcony for a while, got to thinking about what comes next.

I knew I couldn't stay in Meridian. Unwanted attention aside, it'd feel wrong, celebrating when there's so much still to do. Acting like the danger is gone when all the while, the terraforming system keeping this world alive is slipping further and further into chaotic disrepair. I need to start searching for signs of the other subordinate functions, Hephaestus most of all. More crucially, I need a backup of Gaia herself. I found references to their existence at Gaia Prime, but its data stores were obliterated. I'd do well to visit the Zero Dawn facility again, once matters with the Shadow Carja have been smoothed over. I might have missed something in its archives between avoiding cultists and kestrels. In her message to Elisabet, to me, Gaia spoke as if she knew she was possible to repair. There has to be a way.

I slipped back outside for a while in the late afternoon. More music, more praise. I tried to be as joyful as everyone else. I should be, but all I felt was this dread curling, growing darker. I'm the only one who can stop what's coming. Gaia didn't make me to stand around listening to music and drinking in taverns. She made me to save the world. I feel like every moment spent idle is a score against her memory, and Elisabet's too, especially after all she did, all the tireless work she put into completing Zero Dawn. And her sacrifice.

After sunset, I returned to the lodge, meaning to say my goodbyes, but it was so loud in there, so crowded. I ordered a drink, as I gathered that was what I was meant to do. Many in the lodge were already plastered. Carja wine; better than Gera's Scrapper sap, but not something I'll voluntarily taste again. Varl was lost in a crowd of hunters, recounting the battle on the Alight. I didn't want to interrupt. I couldn't see Talanah anymore either. There was no point in sticking around. I had work to do.

I left the lodge and walked through the city to Olin's apartment. The streets were finally beginning to empty out as the night grew later, but most of the houses and halls glowed with firelight and the sound of raised voices.

Back in the apartment, I packed my things and finally got some rest, though I couldn't sleep. It would become more difficult to slip out of the city once morning came and people returned to their senses. There would probably be a ceremony at the palace and everything. Processions, awards, speeches. Far too early given all the worse things coming to this world. Brin said a storm was brewing, after all, though it seems his vision was wrong about me falling in the Eclipse's attack.

More of Elisabet's journals were repaired, my Focus still working away at the rest of them. She mentioned poetry being uploaded to the Demeter sub-function by is Alpha, Tanaka Naoto. That explains the mystery of the metal flowers and their snippets of script.

I climbed the cliffs outside the city entrance, looking over Meridian and the Spire for the last time for a long while—however long this journey takes. However long this world has left. Even Gaia didn't seem sure how long it would take for the biosphere to break down, given the unpredictable nature of her transformed subordinate functions.

In the end, what I discovered was that, along with our genetic code, Elisabet and I share a distaste for goodbyes.

I overrode a Broadhead outside Cut Cliffs then headed down the slope into the Jewel, heading south.

First, I'll search for the bunker that was once Elysium. No datapoints I've found pointed to its exact location, only that it was some miles south of Zero Dawn. It's a long shot, but maybe I'll find another ancient ruin along the way to point me in the right direction. These lands were full of tiny underground societies, as Margo Shen put it, now caved in and grown over with Gaia's new world. Any one of them could hold the information or technology I need to track down the remnants of Elisabet's project. I had hoped that Sylens would be here to help me, but still he remains silent.

I rode for a couple of hours before the exhaustion of battle began to enter my bones. Without the noise of celebration to distract me, it came on keen and fast. There are more machines out here than usual, runaways left aimless once the corruption faded from their innards. I settled in a quiet spot between mossy buttress roots, far from any machines, with only the din of the wilds; screaming insects, the fervent rustling of plant life. A comforting sound.

I slept fitfully. Kept having a strange nightmare.

📁 PGC PERSONNEL CASE FILE

Name: Gruhm Braelen

Role: Commonwealth Memory Steward

Species: Druvathi

Age: 143 (Prime Cycle: Year 3 of 7)

Assigned Vessel: PGC Starship Europa

Uniform Accent Color: Scroll-Brown (denoting history, legacy, and archive custodianship)

⸻

PHYSICAL PROFILE

Gruhm Braelen is a towering, broad-shouldered Druvathi—an ancient, near-extinct species known for their immense size and deep cerebral capabilities. Standing just over 8 feet tall, he bears the heavy, fur-covered frame of a being descended from arboreal megafauna—blending features reminiscent of gorilla, sloth, wolf, and bear. His fur is a mix of ash-brown and charcoal with a coarse, slightly matted texture. He wears thick, round-lensed glasses perched low on his snout-like nose, giving him a bookish contrast to his otherwise imposing presence. His standard Europa uniform is worn beneath a heavy, archival coat, adapted with scroll-brown accents to reflect his ceremonial and scholarly duties.

His expression, even in silence, exudes melancholic wisdom. Every movement he makes is deliberate, resonant, and slow, as though the weight of memory itself moves through him.

⸻

ROLE & FUNCTION

As Memory Steward, Gruhm holds one of the oldest roles in Commonwealth tradition—an archivist, historian, and ethical witness. He maintains the official record of the Europa’s missions, not just through data logs but through ritualistic oral recounting, interpretive analysis, and binding verification. He is responsible for:

• Curating and safeguarding historical logs and cultural records

• Conducting ceremonial record readings at major milestones

• Serving as an ethical advisor during crises rooted in historical precedent

• Interfacing with alien memory cultures and temporal civilizations

Gruhm’s presence aboard Europa also ensures continuity with pre-Fold civilizations, as the Druvathi have retained oral histories spanning millennia.

⸻

BACKGROUND

Gruhm was once a Rebel Archivist for the Coalition of Ruptured Worlds, a dissident historian who believed memory should not be sanitized by centralized regimes. After nearly being executed for preserving forbidden accounts of the Commonwealth’s earliest failures, he was granted clemency in a quiet backroom agreement—on the condition he join the Europa as its Memory Steward. He accepted, viewing the role not as surrender, but as a chance to record the truth from within.

Since then, Gruhm has served with quiet dignity, archiving the crew’s triumphs and failures with impartial precision. He is widely respected—even feared slightly—for his capacity to remember every word spoken in his presence. As he once said:

“A thing unremembered is a thing unlearned. My duty is to deny forgetfulness its victory.”

⸻

NOTES OF INTEREST

• Gruhm uses ritual ink, pressed from sap grown in arboreal memory groves, to annotate his scrolls by hand before transferring them to digital storage.

• He holds conversational fluency in over 700 languages and dialects, including extinct and context-bound tongues.

• His quarters resemble a cathedral of scrolls and memory spheres, lit dimly and layered in silence.

• Though gentle by nature, Gruhm is physically powerful, capable of lifting over 700kg unassisted, though he rarely exerts himself.

Future-Ready HR: How Zero-Downtime SAP S/4HANA Upgrades Slash Admin Effort and Boost Employee Experience

Reading time: ~9 minutes • Author: SAPSOL Technologies Inc. 

Executive Summary (Why stay for the next nine minutes?)

HR has become the cockpit for culture, compliance, and analytics-driven talent decisions. Yet most teams still run the digital equivalent of a flip phone: ECC 6.0 or an early S/4 release installed when TikTok didn’t exist. Staying on “version lock” quietly drains budgets—payroll defects, clunky self-service, manual audits—until a single statutory patch or ransomware scare forces a panic upgrade.

It doesn’t have to be that way. A zero-downtime SAP S/4HANA migration, delivered with modern DevOps, automated regression testing, and business-led governance, lets you transform the HR core without stopping payroll or blowing up IT change windows. In this deep dive you’ll learn:

The five hidden HR costs of running yesterday’s ERP

A phase-by-phase playbook for near-invisible cutover—validated at mid-market firms across North America

Real KPIs in 60 days: fewer payroll recalculations, faster onboarding, and a 31 % jump in self-service adoption

Action kit: register for our 26 June micro-webinar (1 CE credit) and grab the 15-point checklist to start tomorrow

1. The Hidden Tax of Running on Yesterday’s ERP

Every HR pro has lived at least one of these nightmares—often shrugging them off as “just how the system works.” Multiply them across years and thousands of employees, and the cost rivals an enterprise-wide wage hike.

Patch ParalysisScenario: Ottawa releases a mid-year CPP rate change. Payroll must implement it in two weeks, but finance is in year-end freeze. Manual notes, off-cycle transports, weekend overtime—then a retro run reveals under-withholding on 800 staff.Tax in hours: 120 developer + analyst hours per patch.Tax in trust: Employee confidence tanks when paycheques bounce.

Security DebtRole concepts written for 2008 processes force endless SoD spreadsheets. Auditors demand screenshots for every change. Each year the HRIS lead burns a full month compiling user-access evidence.

UX FatigueESS/MSS screens render like Windows XP. Employees open tickets rather than self-serve address changes, spiking help-desk volume by 15–20 %. New grads—used to consumer-grade apps—question your brand.

Analytics BlackoutsReal-time dashboards stall because legacy cluster tables can’t feed BW/4HANA live connections. HR must export CSVs, re-import to Power BI, reconcile totals, and hope no one notices daily-refresh gaps.

Cloud-Talent SprawlRecruiting, learning, and well-being live in separate SaaS tools. Nightly interfaces fail, HRIS babysits IDocs at midnight, and CFO wonders why subscription spend keeps climbing.

Bottom line: Those “little pains” cost six or seven figures annually. Modernizing the digital core erases the tax—but only if you keep payroll humming, time clocks online, and compliance filings on schedule. Welcome to zero-downtime migration.

2. Anatomy of a Zero-Downtime SAP S/4HANA Upgrade

Phase 1 – Dual-Track Sandboxing (Days 0–10)

Objective: Give HR super-users a playground that mirrors live payroll while production stays untouched.

How: SAPSOL deploys automated clone scripts—powered by SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) and Infrastructure-as-Code templates (Terraform, Ansible). Within 48 hours a greenfield S/4HANA sandbox holds PA/OM/PT/PY data scrubbed of PII.

Why it matters: Business owners prove statutory, union, and time rules in isolation. The tech team tweaks roles, Fiori catalogs, and CDS views without delaying month-end.

Pro tip: Schedule “sandbox showcase” lunches—15-minute demos that excite HR stakeholders and surface nuance early (“Our northern sites calculate dual overtime thresholds!”).

Phase 2 – Data Minimization & Clone Masking (Days 11–25)

Data hoarding dooms many upgrades. Terabytes of inactive personnel files balloon copy cycles and expose PII.

Rule-based archiving: Retain only active employees + two full fiscal years.

GDPR masking: Hash SIN/SSN, bank data, and health codes for non-production copies.

Result: 47 % smaller footprint → copy/refresh windows collapse from 20 hours to 8.

Phase 3 – Sprint-Style Regression Harness (Days 26–60)

Introduce HR-Bot, SAPSOL’s regression engine:

600+ automated scripts cover payroll clusters, Time Evaluation, Benefits, and Global Employment.

Execution pace: Two hours for end-to-end vs. 10 days of manual step-lists.

Tolerance: Variance > 0.03 % triggers red flag. Human testers focus on exceptions, not keystrokes.

Regression becomes a nightly safety net, freeing analysts for business process innovation.

Phase 4 – Shadow Cutover (Weekend T-0)

Friday 18:00 – ECC payroll finishes week. SLT delta replication streams last-minute master-data edits to S/4.

Friday 21:00 – Finance, HR, and IT sign off on penny-perfect rehearsal payroll inside S/4.

Friday 22:00 – DNS switch: ESS/MSS URLs now point to the S/4 tenant; API integrations flip automatically via SAP API Management.

Monday 07:00 – Employees log in, see Fiori launchpad mobile tiles. No tickets, no confetti cannons—just business as usual.

Phase 5 – Continuous Innovation Loop (Post Go-Live)

Traditional upgrades dump you at go-live then vanish for 18 months. Zero-downtime culture embeds DevOps:

Feature Pack Stack drip-feeding—small transports weekly, not mega-projects yearly.

Blue-green pipelines—automated unit + regression tests gate every transport.

Feedback loops—daily stand-up with HR ops, weekly KPI review. Change windows are now measured in coffee breaks.

3. Change Management: Winning Hearts Before You Move Code

A seamless cutover still fails if the workforce rejects new workflows. SAPSOL’s “People, Process, Platform” model runs parallel to tech tracks:

Personas & journeys – Map recruiter, manager, hourly associate pain points.

Hyper-care squads – Power users sit with help-desk during first two payroll cycles.

Micro-learning bursts – 3-minute “how-to” videos embedded in Fiori. Uptake beats hour-long webinars.

Result? User adoption spikes quickly often visible in ESS log-ins by week 2.

4. Compliance & Audit Readiness Baked In

Zero-downtime doesn’t just protect operations; it boosts compliance posture:

SoD automation – SAP Cloud Identity Access Governance compares old vs. new roles nightly.

e-Document Framework – Tax-authority e-filings (Canada, US, EU) validated pre-cutover.

Lineage reporting – Every payroll cluster mutation logged in HANA native storage, simplifying CRA or IRS queries.

Auditors now receive screenshots and drill-downs at click speed, not quarter-end heroics.

5. Performance Gains You Can Take to the Bank

Within the first two payroll cycles post-go-live, SAPSOL clients typically see:

60 DAY RESULT

Payroll recalculations   92/year   –38 %

Onboarding cycle (offer → badge)   11 days  –22 %

ESS/MSS log-ins   5 500/month   +31 %

Unplanned downtime  2.5 hrs/yr   0 hrs

One $750 M discrete-manufacturer counts 3 498 staff hours returned annually—funding three new talent-analytics analysts without head-count increase.

6. Case Study

Profile – 1 900 employees, unionized production, dual-country payroll (CA/US), ECC 6 for 14 years.

Challenge – Legacy payroll schema required 43 custom Operation Rules; security roles triggered 600+ SoD conflicts each audit.

SAPSOL Solution

Dual-track sandbox; 37 payroll variants tested in 10 days

GDPR masking reduced non-prod clone from 3.2 TB → 1.4 TB

Near-Zero-Downtime (NZDT) services + blue/green pipeline executed cutover in 49 minutes

Hyper-care “Ask Me Anything” Teams channel moderated by HR-Bot

Outcome – Zero payroll disruption, –41 % payroll support tickets, +3 % Glassdoor rating in six months.

7. Top Questions from HR Leaders—Answered in Plain Speak

Q1. Will moving to S/4 break our union overtime rules?No. SAP Time Sheet (CATS/SuccessFactors Time Tracking) inherits your custom schemas. We import PCRs, run dual-payroll reconciliation, and give union reps a sandbox login to verify every scenario before go-live.

Q2. Our headquarters is in Canada, but 40 % of the workforce is in the US. Can we run parallel payroll?Absolutely. SAPSOL’s harness executes CA and US payroll in a single simulation batch. Variance reports highlight penny differences line-by-line so Finance signs off with confidence.

Q3. How do we show ROI to the CFO beyond “it’s newer”?We deliver a quantified value storyboard: reduced ticket labour, compliance fines avoided, attrition savings from better UX, and working-capital release from faster hiring time. Most clients see payback in 12–16 months.

Q4. Our IT team fears “another massive SAP project.” What’s different?Zero-downtime scope fits in 14-week sprints, not two-year marathons. Automated regression and blue-green transport pipelines mean fewer late nights and predictable release cadence.

Q5. Do we need to rip-and-replace HR add-ons (payroll tax engines, time clocks)?No. Certified interfaces (HR FIORI OData, CPI iFlows) keep existing peripherals alive. In pilots we reused 92 % of third-party integrations unchanged.

8. Technical Underpinnings (Geek Corner)

Downtime-Optimized DMO – Combines SUM + NZDT add-on so business operations continue while database tables convert in shadow schema.

HANA native storage extension – Offloads cold personnel data to cheaper disk tiers but keeps hot clusters in-memory, balancing cost and speed.

CDS-based HR analytics – Replaces cluster decoding with virtual data model views, feeding SAP Analytics Cloud dashboards in real time.

CI/CD Toolchain – GitLab, abapGit, and gCTS orchestrate transports; Selenium/RPA automate UI smoke tests.

Advanced Reporting in SAP Material Management Using CDS Views

SAP Material Management

SAP MM (Material Management) is one of the important modules in the SAP ERP system that works on procurement and inventory operations and ensures that materials are available in the required quantity and at the right time when needed. It supports significant business processes such as purchasing, goods receipt, invoice verification, and inventory management. SAP MM can be integrated effectively with other core SAP modules such as Financial Accounting and Controlling, Sales and Distribution, and Production Planning, allowing an end-to-end supply chain visibility. With effective master data management and real-time tracking, the Material Management module can help organizations lower costs, enhance efficiency, and gain control over the materials and procurement processes.

Reporting in SAP Material Management

SAP Materials Management (MM) reporting offers a range of tools to analyze and track different aspects of materials, such as inventory levels, purchase orders, and material movements. Some important reports include MB52 (Warehouse Stock Overview), MB54 (Consignment Stocks), and MBGR (Material Movements by Reason). moreover, reports like MMBE (Stock Overview) and ME23 (Display Purchase Order) are frequently used. 

Some Commonly Used MM Reports -

MB52 (Warehouse Stock Overview) - Displays available stock based on quantity and value for a required plant, storage location, and material.

MB54 (Consignment Stocks) – Helps in Listing materials on consignment, and displays the stock owned by the supplier that is held in the customer's warehouse.

MB58 (Customer Consignment Stock and Returnable Packaging) – Shows materials or packaging owned by the supplier that is located at the customer's site.

MBSM (Canceled Material Documents) - Displays all material documents that are canceled. 

ME23 (Display Purchase Order) - Displays the details of a particular purchase order, such as line items, pricing, and delivery schedules. 

ME2K (Purchasing Documents by Account Assignment) -  Contains a list of purchase documents grouped by account assignment. 

Material Movements: MB51 (Material Document List) - Presents a list of all material documents, such as goods issues, goods receipts, and inventory movements. 

MBGR (Display Material Document for Reason of Movement) - Enables the filtering of material documents based on the reason for movement, such as a shortage or a return.  

MBAL (Read/Display Material Document Archive) - it provides better access to archived material documents. 

These are some reports that are significantly used in the SAP Material Management Module to enhance inventory, material movements, and purchase operations effectively and in a sustainable manner.

Reporting in MM Using CDS Views (Core Data Service)

Inventory Reporting - CDS views can be used to generate reports based on stock levels, material pricing, and various inventory-specific data. 

Purchase Order Reporting - CDS views can be used to track purchasing orders, analyze purchase trends, and monitor the performance of purchase orders. 

Material Cost Reporting - It can be used to analyze material costs, identify cost variances, and to optimize the purchasing of materials. 

Stock Valuation Reporting - CDS views can be helpful to calculate and report on the value of inventory and stock. 

Process of Creating CDS Views for MM Reporting

Identify Business Requirements - Define the specific reporting requirements and the data essential to meet those needs. 

Choose Data Source – Selection of the essential SAP tables or various other data sources to build the CDS view. 

Define View Entity - Create a new CDS view in ABAP Development Tools, determine the fields, aggregations, and filters. For complex reports, using a Composite CDS view to integrate data from multiple tables or other views. Use a Consumption CDS view to consume data from a Basic or Composite view and create reports or KPIs. For simple reports, there is a Basic CDS view to select fields directly from the source table. 

Final Thoughts

In SAP Material Management Module, Core Data Service Views provide the possibility of reporting daily stock values without the need to set up and fill information structures. The selection logic for revaluations may still need to be refined to guarantee secure data management. CDS views can be helpful not only in SAP MM but also in the other core modules of SAP.  To master SAP MM there are multiple learning opportunities, you can enroll for the best SAP MM Course in Pune or any other city to gain knowledge about material management.

Storage as a Service (STaaS) Market Expected to Surge at a 16.4% CAGR from 2020 to 2030

According to Future industry Insights, the storage-as-a-service industry is expected to grow at a remarkable rate of seventeen percent between 2020 and 2030. The increasing ease of data syncing, sharing, collaboration, and accessibility across smartphones and other devices serves as the foundation for this prediction.

In addition, Storage as a Service (STaaS) has grown rapidly in the last several years due to its ability to increase operational flexibility at lower operating costs. This increase is especially noticeable in every industry segment where cloud services have had an impact. Automation has notably increased productivity fourfold while lowering costs and improving service quality at the same time.

One of the key advantages of STaaS is its capacity to accommodate massive volumes of data in the cloud, obviating the need for on-premises storage. As a result, businesses can enjoy liberated storage space, eliminate the necessity for extensive backup procedures, and achieve substantial savings on disaster recovery plans.

Key Takeaways of Storage as a Service Market Study

SMEs are expected to hold 74% of market share in 2020, as the adoption of STaaS becomes essential to cutting back on infrastructural costs and focusing on business continuity.

The BFSI segment held a market share of 22% in 2019 and is expected to continue on a similar trend because banking is getting digitized even in rural clusters.

Moreover, South Asia & Pacific is projected to register a CAGR of 23% from 2020-2030 in the global STaaS market, due to countries undergoing rapid digitalization across sectors.

Additionally, cloud computing and the remote work ethic are set to remain strong undercurrents of the booming STaaS market.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Storage as a Service Market

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated remote work adoption, leading businesses to upgrade their tech infrastructure for continuity. Future trends show continued tech investments. SaaS is now recognized for profit margin expansion, driven by cost reduction focus. Pre-pandemic, only 2.9% worked remotely; post-pandemic, remote work surges due to operational strategy reevaluation.

In 2018 and 2019, the market for storage as a service expanded by around 15% year over year. With the COVID-19 epidemic, the market is anticipated to rise by about 18%–20% between 2021 and 2023.

In the medium term, it may be difficult for the storage as a service market to maintain its growth pace due to concerns about budgets. Furthermore, deteriorating profitability is a key issue, and sales growth has also been a significant factor, all of which have led to significant losses for companies of all sizes.

Partnerships and Innovations to Drive Growth

The global Storage as a Service industry is experiencing a storm due to the rapidly evolving technical landscape, shifting consumer expectations, and fierce competition. This is forcing solution providers to consistently search for novel and affordable solutions. Additionally, partnerships and collaborations with digital solution providers might aid suppliers of storage as a service in growing their clientele and market share.
