How to choose healthcare & life sciences for SAP

  1. 1

    Write down your requirements before any demo

    List the specific healthcare & life sciences outcomes you need — volumes, workflows, countries, systems in the loop — and rank them. Vendor demos are optimised to reframe your requirements around their strengths; a written list keeps the evaluation yours.

  2. 2

    Verify SAP integration depth, not existence

    Every vendor here “integrates with SAP” — the differences are in depth. Ask each to demo the integration against a realistic SAP configuration: your entity structure, your fields, your transaction volumes, and what happens when a sync fails.

  3. 3

    Check certification and marketplace status

    Look for SAP-certified integration (SAP Store listing) and a current listing on SAP Store (store.sap.com). Certification doesn't guarantee fit, but it confirms the vendor keeps pace with SAP releases — uncertified integrations are where upgrade breakage concentrates.

  4. 4

    Reference-check companies that look like yours

    Ask for two reference customers on SAP at your size and in your industry, and ask them what broke in the first year. Implementation quality varies more than product quality in the healthcare & life sciences category.

  5. 5

    Model total cost over three years

    Compare subscription plus implementation plus internal effort — not headline price. Healthcare & life sciences for SAP pricing models differ (per user, per volume, per entity), so normalise every quote to your actual usage before comparing.
