Business Value
Reimagined Business Models. S/4 HANA makes it simple to connect to people, devices, and business networks in real time to unlock the potential of the digital economy and deliver new experiences and value to customers. The Internet of Things and Big Data become accessible to any business – no more complex business collaboration and interactions.
Reimagined Business Decisions. S/4 HANA makes it simple to get any insight on any data from anywhere in real time: planning, execution, prediction, and simulation are now all done on the fly at the highest level of granularity to drive faster business impact – no more complex data consolidation through Microsoft Excel.
Reimagined Business Processes. S/4 HANA makes it simple to focus on the essential tasks in real-time and gain flexibility and agility to change business processes as needed for new efficiencies – no more extensive batch processing.
IT Value
Reimagined Data Model. S/4HANA shrinks your data footprint – and your IT costs. It eliminates indices, aggregates, and data redundancies. The SAP HANA platform blends transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) processing into one system allowing enterprises to do real time business on live transactional data.
Reimagined User Experience. S/4HANA comes with a personalized, responsive, and simple user experience available on any device. The user experience is role-based and allows instant insight to action from anywhere.
Reimagined Deployment. SAP S/4HANA can be deployed on-premise, in the cloud or as a hybrid of both delivering full choice of deployment and faster time to value. Furthermore, guided configuration radically simplifies the implementation so that customers enjoy rapid success and ROI.
SAP HANA is an established technology with more then 6,400 customers. 100,000 users on a single ERP on HANA system. SAP itself has moved its internal ERP systems, based on its own code of course and supporting 67,000 end users, to run on top of the HANA in-memory database. SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA has enabled hundreds of customers to run their businesses in real time by bringing together business transactions and operational analytics on one powerful in-memory computing platform.
SAP S/4HANA can achieve up to 10x data footprint reduction. This is because only a single copy of the data is stored in memory in a columnar store and because we have gotten rid of all indices, aggregates and other data redundancies. So your large data footprint will get significantly reduced when you move to S/4HANA.
