SAP S/4HANA: Transforming Enterprise Management

SAP ERP revisited to help you run simple

Based on SAP’s HANA in-memory platform, SAP S/4HANA is built from scratch to integrate modern design principles. This results in a simple yet powerful ERP that opens the way to innovation.

There’s no escaping the race to digitisation. Digital transformation impacts every company: our markets are changing and customers expect faster, smarter, and more personalised products and services. Do you have what it takes to respond to change and make decisions quickly?

‘Run simple’ has been SAP’s business focus for years. Business software experts strongly believe that simplicity is necessary to thrive in today’s digital era. As such, SAP completely reinvented its ERP suite to align with that vision. Developing SAP S/4HANA implied a total rework of SAP’s core ERP technology to run it on its HANA in-memory database. On top of that, SAP introduced an entirely new user interface, Fiori, to help users run simple.

So what’s really new?

And what’s in it for you?

Meeting the needs of today’s markets requires swift handling of the ever-growing mountain of (un)structured data available. SAP S/4HANA integrates the super-fast analytics of HANA, enabling you to gather and process data quickly while applying it to your business processes, all in real-time.

Your win: Gain real-time business insights, instantly

Embedded, real-time reporting, simplified processes, and the lighting speed of HANA all help you gain new insights, anywhere and in real-time – as a starting point for better decision-making, optimised processes and better services.
The HANA in-memory platform ensures a simplified data model. Moreover, SAP S/4 HANA is designed with the SAP Fiori UX, which makes it intuitive to use on any device. The complexity – ingenuity – is still there, but it’s only shown when you want to see it.

Your win: Work faster, with more agility and cut your total cost of ownership

Your users can start working with SAP S/4HANA right away, with no training needed. The speed and real-time insights will foster flexibility and agility. And the IT team will welcome the time and cost savings they achieve thanks to the simplified architecture, smaller data footprint and out-of-the-box integration with solutions like SuccessFactors and Ariba.
At its core, SAP S/4HANA combines traditional ERP data with data from Internet of Things (IoT) applications, cloud applications such as Ariba and other sources or networks. In this way, it opens the door to innovations like predictive maintenance, simulations, etc.

Your win: accelerate innovation to reinvent your business

SAP S/4 HANA helps you connect workload and inventory management processes and integrates your company with the digital world at large. As such, it enables you to reinvent your business: discover new opportunities, develop new business models, drive new revenues and win new markets.
