IntroductionJanne & Lorenz


Introduction:

Questions triggered by SAP innovations

• When is the right to time to start the journey for S/4HANA?

• Transformation: is this a technical IT or a business type of journey?

• Is Simple Finance already obsolete and will there be Simple Logistics?

• What exactly is S/4HANA Enterprise Management?

• Is S/4HANA Cloud Edition a valid way to go?

• What are the transformation options for S/4HANA?

• Regarding analytics: what is changing with S/4HANA and do I still need my BW?


Introduction:

Questions triggered by SAP innovations

• Do we need a transformation project?

• When should we do a transformation project?

• Transformation project: is this a technical IT or a business type of project?

• Should we base our transformation project on a greenfield approach?

• Is the S/4HANA cloud edition a valid way to go?

• Should we use cloud solutions at all?

• Are there relevant disruptive process scenarios existing?


What is S/4HANAJanne & Lorenz


SAP HANA

• In-memory databaseplatform

• Columnar data storage

• Small data footprint

• INSERT of data instead of updating speed!


Difference between S/4HANA and ERP


Multiple meanings of ”HANA”

Could be hosted on

HEC – HANA

Enterprise Cloud

(IaaS)


S/4HANA technical simplification example


Benefits of S/4HANA

SAP‘s technical „Buzzwords“:

• Speed

• Big Data

• Simplification

• User Experience

But was exactly does this mean?


Benefits: always focussed on business and specific industry requirements• Speed:

MRPlive is giving options for online MRP and selective MRP

• Big Data: online research / reporting in wholesale business / supermarkets

• Simplification: reduced complexity of manufaturing planning processes (APO planning components back in digital core)

• User Experience:easy adoption of new Fiori apps for simplyfied functionalities such as purchase order approval for no daily SAP-users

S/4HANA and Analytics: Fateof the BWOtso


Do I still need my BW?

SAP ERP SAP BW

OLTP OLAP

SAP S/4HANA

OLTP OLAP

SAP BW ?

OLAP


The answer? Yes, if there’s a need to…

• Consolidate data from multiple SAP and non-SAP sources

• Cleanse the data before reporting

• Harmonize and transform the data before reporting

• Take snapshots to ”freeze” the data

• Keep historical data

• Perform long term trend analysis

• Perform complex calculations beyond +-*/

• Have planning capabilities


How to proceed?

• Use S/4 HANA Analytics for requirements that are suitable for real-time operational data.

• BW is still fully valid and it’s there if you need it

• BW is constantly evolving towards native HANA direction• Use a hybrid approach where necessary

• Multiple different mixed scenarios are possible


Transition to S/4HANALorenz & Janne


Introduction:

Right timing for transitionSweet spot is depending:

• Status on current application landscape

• Initial company situation: plan – build – run

• New application quality & maturity

Note!• Strategy Finding + Roadmap

definition should be started NOW

• Transition preparation could be done before sweet spot starts

Scenario 2: Landscape Transformation

Benefits:

• Stay with current business processes and move gradually to S/4HANA (brownfield)

• Harmonized business processes and master data through consolidation

• Carve out of single entities of the company to SAP S/4HANA and leverage process simplification

SAP Business Suite customers with multiple SAP ERP or SAP Business Suite on SAP HANA systems

Consolidation of landscape or carve out of selected entities

or processes into a SAP S/4HANA system.


Scenario 3: New Implementation

Real life: combination of all scenariosBenefits:

• One-step or wave-based approach but consideration of “big picture”

• Data and process harmonization

• Greenfield or brownfield approach

• Reengineering based on best-practices processes and industry specific knowledge

Summary: What is important?

• HANA DB Upgrade is one step but not the complete move to S/4HANA platform

• S/4HANA Transition is NOT only a technical project

• Benefits for S/4HANA are derived from the business

• S/4HANA projects need preparation but can also be combinedwith landscape consolidation and transformation

• Each company has an indivudal business case and roadmap forthe transition onto S/4HANA platform
