What is SAP S/4HANA?
In times of digital transformation, it is crucial for companies to future-proof their IT landscape. One way to achieve this is to implement SAP S/4HANA, a powerful and modern ERP solution from SAP SE that has been specifically designed to meet the needs of companies in today’s world.
SAP S/4HANA is the latest generation of SAP Business Suite and builds on the proven SAP HANA platform. In addition, SAP S/4HANA offers significant improvements and innovations that meet the requirements of the digital economy.
Why You Should Convert Now
Maintenance for SAP ERP ECC is scheduled to end in 2027, with optional, cost-intensive extended maintenance available until 2030. This means that companies need to act NOW to migrate to SAP S/4HANA in time. But it’s not just the end of maintenance that poses a challenge – the SAP S/4HANA conversion also offers numerous opportunities to future-proof your business and secure competitive advantages. Take advantage of this opportunity to modernize and benefit from the most advanced technologies and innovations.
Advantages of SAP S/4HANA Compared to SAP ERP
New and improved features
SAP S/4HANA offers a wide range of new features. These include new apps, optimized processes, and enhanced transactions. These functional enhancements include
- flexible approvals
- interactive dashboards
- ad hoc evaluations, which enable companies to work more efficiently and make informed decisions based on current data.
Safety and innovation
SAP has guaranteed maintenance for SAP S/4HANA until the end of 2040. This offers long-term security for our customers in transformation projects, as they can benefit from extended support periods and regular updates. Continuous innovation ensures that your systems are always up to date and in line with the latest technological developments.
Flexibility in provisioning
SAP S/4HANA can be flexibly deployed as an on-premise solution, in the cloud, or as a hybrid operating model. This flexibility allows companies to choose the best solution for their individual requirements and existing IT infrastructures.
SAP HANA platform
SAP S/4HANA works with a high-performance in-memory database. This column-oriented database enables fast processing of large amounts of data through:
- In-memory processing
- Data compression
- Parallel processing
Modern design with SAP Fiori
One of the most striking changes is the new, modern design of SAP Fiori, which is hardware-independent and can be used on mobile devices. This improves user-friendliness and ensures a consistent user experience across different end devices.
New data models and technologies
SAP S/4HANA integrates OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) and OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) into one system, enabling real-time analysis of current data. This compact forecasting capability covers both current and planned data, supporting informed decision-making.
With an SAP S/4HANA implementation, you can future-proof your business and prepare it for upcoming innovations. Our experts are here to help you ensure that your SAP S/4HANA conversion runs smoothly and that your IT environment is optimally prepared for the challenges of digitalization.
Possible Migration Strategies for Switching to SAP S/4HANA
The transition to SAP S/4HANA can be carried out using various project approaches, depending on the specific requirements and goals of your company. Each approach offers different advantages and challenges. With the help of our readiness check, you can find out which approach is best for you.
Start with a new SAP system using the greenfield approach
The greenfield approach means that you start with a completely new SAP S/4HANA system – a green field, so to speak. This enables you to optimize and modernize your business processes.
Convert your existing system using the brownfield approach
With the brownfield approach, your existing SAP system is technically converted, similar to an SAP upgrade. Most data and structures are retained in this process.
Best of both worlds with selective data transfer
The Selective Data Transition approach combines elements from Greenfield and Brownfield to provide a customized solution tailored specifically to the needs of your company. It starts with an empty system into which important preselected company data is transferred.
