What is special about S/4HANA?

As the fourth generation of SAP’s ERP software solution, S/4HANA is not just a replacement for its predecessor ECC. The new ERP suite heralds a paradigm shift that supports companies in the ongoing digitalisation of all business processes.

S/4HANA uses the eponymous SAP HANA in-memory database and can process data in real time. Many analytics functions are already included as standard. This means that management benefits from a better basis for making data-driven decisions.

In addition, S/4HANA offers a simplified data model for a more efficient handling of business processes and includes an intuitive user interface based on SAP Fiori. As the system is optimised for use in the cloud, it is more flexible and more scalable, which means that it canbe adapted very precisely to the individual needs of companies.

Our approach

Our expertise

How ready is your organisation for S4/HANA? Which approach is the most promising for the introduction? We lay the foundation for a successful introduction with a strategic preliminary analysis phase and detailed planning of the S/4 HANA transformation. This includes analysing whether a greenfield implementation, a brownfield approach or a migration approach is the best way forward. In just a few steps, we create an SAP S/4 HANA roadmap together.

The introduction of S4/HANA needs to be well planned. In preparatory workshops, we discuss what to look out for when switching to SAP S/4 HANA. We take an individual approach to the company’s initial situation and identify the optimisation potential for existing processes.

We adapt your forms and processes to the new SAP S/4 HANA and convert systems and data for this purpose. We are also your go-to for S/4 performance optimisation.

The full potential of S/4 HANA only unfolds through the adaptation of business processes to the new possibilities, such as the availability of real-time data. We support you in process design, redesign and optimisation of processes with S/4 HANA. In addition, we adapt all standard SAP modules in SAP S/4 to your individual processes as required. We are skilled in module consulting and project management and can deliver both on-site and from our nearshore centre .

Typically, when migrating to S4/HANA, a large amount of master data like the addresses and telephone numbers of business partners such as customers, suppliers and employees needs to be migrated. We handle this task in a standardised way with SAP Business Partner Migration.

Data archiving is an important task before the introduction of S/4HANA. Targeted archiving can reduce storage requirements and therefore also costs. As part of this phase, we also pay particular attention to any regulatory requirements that need to be considered in the context of data archiving.

We provide support for SAP S/4HANA development tasks both onsite and from our nearshore centre. We also help with the configuration and commissioning of SAP Fiori-S/4 apps.

Based on SAP templates, we help you to plan SAP rollouts holistically and to implement them successfully, both nationally and internationally. We ensure that your SAP solutions are rolled out correctly in all your branches and subsidiaries.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about switching to SAP S/4 HANA

SAP S/4HANA is more than just an upgrade. Compared to previous SAP systems such as SAP R/3 or SAP ERP, it brings many innovations and simplifications and supports companies in their digital transformation. It uses the SAP HANA in-memory platform. Data is managed and provided in the server’s main memory, which enables significantly higher performance. With SAP Fiori, S/4HANA also relies on a user interface concept that enables simple and standardised operation along the processes and transactions. Cloud capability is also new, making the ERP system significantly more flexible and scalable.

S/4HANA is not module-based. Instead, business processes are increasingly merged. Integrations are easier to implement. Thanks to its modern architecture, the new ERP generation is also significantly faster and more powerful. The improved performance opens up new possibilities for planning, executing and generating reports and data-based analyses. SAP Fiori also has significantly increased levels of user-friendliness. The attractive design makes for quick familiarisation. All in all, SAP S/4HANA is a very powerful and future-proof system as it also guarantees the implementation of innovations going forward.

There are three main approaches to migrating to SAP S/4HANA:

  • The greenfield approach involves building a system from scratch and migrating data from the old system. This approach offers the opportunity to optimize processes and to clear out data and modifications that are no longer required.
  • With the brownfield approach current structures are migrated. The existing system is updated to SAP S/4HANA. Data and modifications are retained. This approach is less complex. However, in the worst-case scenario, old and inefficient processes and data are retained.
  • The bluefield approach combines the two previous approaches. Some parts are rebuilt, while others are migrated.
