Our report, State of Worldwide Business Assurance for SAP solutions – 2026, reveals what truly drives success in cloud ERP transformations, and where many organizations are falling short.
The timing couldn’t be more relevant. As organizations accelerate their shift to cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), the release of the third edition of our Business Assurance for SAP Solutions report provides a clear, data-driven view of what separates successful transformations from those that fall short.
The Business Assurance for SAP Solutions report by Sogeti, Capgemini and Tricentis draws on insights from 500+ business leaders across the globe to reveal how SAP teams are using modern testing practices to drive transformation success with expert insights on:
Modernization mindset
Across industries, SAP S/4HANA is fast becoming the digital backbone of ERP for next-generation enterprises. But while the ambition to modernize though cloud migration is nearly universally seen as essential, execution remains the defining challenge with legacy systems, data and dependencies creating the biggest blockers.
The report highlights a critical shift in mindset: leading organizations are no longer treating Quality Assurance as a technical checkpoint, but as strategic enablers of business value.
Data as a firm foundation
One of the standout insights from our research interviews with 500+ SAP leaders across 10 countries, is the growing importance of data. With SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) emerging as a unifying layer across complex landscapes, organizations are prioritizing trusted, secure, and consistent data foundations. This is particularly important as AI becomes more embedded in enterprise operations; without high-quality data, AI readiness simply isn’t achievable.
RISE adoption pays off
The report also reinforces that RISE with SAP is no longer a future consideration, it’s happening in the here and now. As a structured pathway to modernization, it is helping organizations combine cloud infrastructure, embedded automation, and process intelligence to reduce risk and increase agility. Adoption is currently low however, and RISE alone is not a guarantee of success; it must be paired with the right quality engineering, testing, and data strategies.
Next-gen Quality Engineering & Testing
Quality Engineering & Testing is under the spotlight. As SAP environments move to the cloud, the risk landscape evolves rapidly. Leading organizations are responding by embedding continuous AI-assisted Business Assurance and proactive de-risk controls into their delivery and operating models to ensure not only compliance, but long-term resilience and trust.
Ultimately, the report underscores a simple but powerful truth: the question is no longer whether to transform, but how to do so at scale that doesn’t compromise on quality, security, or business outcomes. Those who succeed are closing the execution gap by combining SAP’s cloud ecosystem with modern data strategies, intelligent automation, and AI-enabled Quality Engineering & Testing.
