Many businesses have opted for and have started to use S/4 HANA which is an advanced version of SAP ECC.
It’s just not important but essential as SAP has announced its support for SAP ECC to end by 2027, and thus the organisations need to shift to the new SAP S/4 HANA. It is an enterprise resource planning system that puts all business functions and departments on a single platform for easy management.
SAP will discontinue its ECC services from 2027 onwards which will expose business to security issues, operational inefficiencies and updates and thus turning to S/4 HANA is necessary.
S/4 HANA reduces data processing time and thus offers the capacity for immediate decision-making. It processes in its memory rather than the database and thus improves speed. It improves efficiency.
More automated processes and tasks handled by Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and predictive Analysis allow executives to focus more on human-centric tasks, reduce human errors and processing and improve response time.
Fiori is the new user interface that changes based on role to provide a more accurate and relatable environment for work and make working easy and productive.
The database from various departments is combined and maintained to provide more accurate results using filters. It allows AI to use whole data to provide more accurate decisions as a centralized repository.
The system acts as the base to connect with existing technologies and future innovations to easily connect and use them. S/4 HANA allows connecting via blockchain, IoT and more.
S/4 HANA has become important due to the following advantages that a business can enjoy.
With centralised data models like “ACDOCA” AI makes more accurate and effective decisions than rivals and leads to more sales and achievement of goals.
S/4 HANA ensures meeting all essential industrial and regulatory needs with its compliance updates and avoids any penalties. Get industry-wise regulatory and compliance and information updates and be ahead.
