Syed Awais Rizvi’s Strategic Guide Offers Unfiltered Advice on One of the Most Critical ERP Decisions of the Decade
As enterprises across the globe continue grappling with the complexities of digital transformation, a bold new voice is cutting through the noise. Syed Awais Rizvi’s new book, Do You Really Need S/4HANA? A C-Suite Strategic Guide to SAP Decision-Making, launched December 3, 2025, and is already making waves among senior executives and boardrooms.
Published as part of the S/4HANA Decision Series, the book targets CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, PMO directors, and transformation leaders who are either considering—or questioning—the move from SAP ECC to S/4HANA.
Moving Beyond the Sales Deck
Rizvi, a seasoned SAP expert with over 21 years of global project experience, is unafraid to challenge conventional narratives. “Too many companies are making multi-million-dollar SAP decisions based on hype, vendor pressure, or incomplete information,” Rizvi explains. “This book aims to change that.”
Rather than providing technical specs or overly academic theory, the book delivers real-world strategies backed by global implementation stories, executive frameworks, and critical cost analyses.
Key Takeaways for Decision-Makers:
- How to assess true organizational readiness—across people, processes, data, and governance
- Unmasking hidden costs often left out of S/4HANA pitches
- Leadership missteps that commonly derail ERP programs
- When it’s wiser to delay or pursue hybrid modernization options
- Vendor-neutral advice for high-stakes enterprise planning
Bringing Clarity to Complexity
What makes Do You Really Need S/4HANA? stand out is its accessible, executive-style tone—akin to what one might find in Harvard Business Review or McKinsey strategy papers. It avoids jargon while providing sharp, actionable insights for senior decision-makers in both IT and business.
The guide is also designed for board members and financial executives, helping them better understand the risks, value drivers, and long-term governance considerations of S/4HANA transformation.
