Most SAP migration programs underestimate the gap between technically complete and operationally ready. The difference lies in three decisions made at the architecture phase that are nearly impossible to reverse at go-live.

SAP IBP generates hundreds of exceptions daily. Most planning teams review them in the order they appear, not the order they matter. AI-assisted triage changes the math entirely.

The pharmaceutical supply chain operates at the intersection of planning efficiency and regulatory mandate. AI systems that ignore the compliance layer create risk. Systems that only handle compliance miss the planning value.
