I’ve previously written a four part guide on how to install your own ECC 6.0 IDES server. This has by far been my most popular series and I think it speaks to the importance for consultants to have a readily available reference system. Many consultants have access to test and demo systems through their employer, but many consultants do not have this luxury or would simply prefer access to a private system for their own use. S/4 HANA introduces a new challenge to do-it-yourself-ers because of its hefty hardware requirements (and price tag). If you are interested in running your own SAP S/4 HANA system, I’m going to run down a few options that may be within reach.

Consulting Tip: Think Before You Type
Here is a consulting tip: I received an interesting email this week from an individual representing another vendor also supporting my client. This email became a reminder of how valuable it is to keep your cool and, by all means, think before you type. The names are changed to protect my client (and Donald’s unfortunate employer):

Kathryn- im sorry you have to deal with this. If you could let me know a couple neg products that would be helpful. Thank you!
