SAP S/4HANA: SAP ERP revisited to help you run simple

There’s no escaping the race to digitization. Digital transformation impacts every company: our markets are changing and customers expect faster, smarter, and more personalized products and services. Do you have what it takes to respond to change and make decisions quickly? To support you in your digital transformation, SAP has launched SAP S/4HANA – its next-generation business suite.

‘Run simple’ has been SAP’s business adage for years. The business software expert strongly believes that simplicity is a must to thrive in today’s digital era. As such, it 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?

HANA puts real-time data at your fingertips

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, optimized processes and better services.

It truly is all about simple

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 costsavings they achieve thanks to the simplified architecture, smaller data footprint and out-of-the-box integration with solutions like SuccessFactors and Ariba.

Opening the door to innovation

At its core, SAP S/4HANA combines traditional ERP data with data from Internet of Things (IoT) applications, cloud applications such as Hybris or 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 processes and integrates your company with the digital world at large. As such, it helps you reinvent your business: discover new opportunities, develop new business models, drive new revenues and win new markets.
