SG SAP Ecosystem 2026: DATAGROUP Named a Leader in SAP S/4HANA Transformation for Mid-Market Companies

Pliezhausen, June 25, 2026 – DATAGROUP has been positioned as a leader in the “SAP S/4HANA Transformation – Midmarket” category in the latest ISG Provider Lens® study, “SAP Ecosystem 2026.” In addition, the study rates DATAGROUP as a Product Challenger in the categories “SAP S/4HANA System Transformation” and “SAP Application Managed Services.”

Conducted annually by Information Services Group (ISG), the study analyzes service providers in the SAP ecosystem. Among other things, it evaluates transformation services related to SAP S/4HANA, managed services, cloud strategies, and expertise in the areas of artificial intelligence and business technology platforms. The results serve as a guide for companies in selecting suitable partners for the modernization and operation of their SAP landscapes.

Leader in SAP for Mid-Market Companies

The designation as a leader in the “SAP S/4HANA Transformation – Midmarket” category underscores DATAGROUP’s ability to support mid-market companies throughout the entire transformation process. ISG highlights DATAGROUP’s modular transformation approaches, the ValueCheck as a structured entry point into SAP S/4HANA projects, and the integration of transformation, hosting, and operations.

Furthermore, the study highlights DATAGROUP’s cloud strategy. In particular, the ability to combine SAP transformations with robust cloud offerings is becoming increasingly important for many companies in light of regulatory requirements and rising security demands.

Taking a Holistic Approach to SAP Transformation

In addition to its “Leader” ranking in the midmarket segment, ISG has positioned DATAGROUP as a “Product Challenger” in the categories “SAP S/4HANA System Transformation” and “SAP Application Managed Services.” With its classification as a “Contender” in the “SAP Business AI and Business Technology Platform (BTP) Services” category, DATAGROUP is also represented in the evaluation quadrant in another strategically important future area for SAP.

The results reflect key developments in the SAP market. Companies are increasingly taking a holistic view of SAP transformations, combining strategic consulting, migration, applications, cloud operations, and the continuous evolution of their systems. At the same time, topics such as compliance and the use of artificial intelligence within SAP landscapes are becoming increasingly relevant.

Mark Schäfer, Chief Production Officer at DATAGROUP, explains: “For many companies, the modernization of SAP landscapes is far more than just a technical migration project. There is a need for partners who can provide comprehensive support for transformation, operations, and further development—orchestrating not only the technology but also the applications built on top of it. The study’s results confirm our position as a reliable partner for midsize companies and demonstrate that we support our customers throughout the entire SAP lifecycle.”
