Ask Approyo: Why should I upgrade to SAP S/4HANA?

If you run an SAP environment, you need to understand the value of SAP S/4HANA. You can't afford to live in the old R/3 or R/2 world anymore. You need to upgrade to an in-memory database solution to keep up with today's digital world.

Approyo CEO Christopher Carter talks about SAP S/4HANA and in-memory databases in the latest edition of Ask Approyo. Don't wait to make the change to SAP S/4HANA!

What is SAP S/4HANA?
Written natively for the SAP HANA platform, SAP S/4HANA is an entirely new generation of SAP Business Suite that is characterized by simplifications, massively increased efficiency, and compelling features such as planning and simulation options in many conventional transactions.

SAP S/4HANA is a real-time ERP suite for digital business. It is built on SAP's advanced in-memory platform, SAP HANA, and offers a personalized, consumer-grade user experience with SAP Fiori. Deployable in the cloud or on-premise, SAP S/4HANA can drive instant value across all lines of business – no matter your industry or business size.

How does SAP HANA work?
SAP HANA combines an ACID-compliant database with application services, high-speed analytics, and flexible data acquisition tools in a single, in-memory platform. As an in-memory database, SAP HANA stores and retrieves data used by applications. It can also act as a modern-day warehouse, integrating data from a wide variety of data sources with live transactional data to deliver up-to-date insights. Built-in application services support the development and deployment of new business apps that exploit data from the digital highway and leverage advanced data processing – text search and analytics, predictive analytics, spatial data processing, graph data processing, and streaming analytics – to deliver deeper insight from Big Data and the Internet of Things at unprecedented speed.

Ask Approyo: What are the key benefits for moving to SAP S/4HANA now?

SAP S/4HANA is designed to drive instant value across lines of business and industries with the ultimate sophistication: simplicity. SAP S/4HANA is only built on SAP HANA because, as of today, only the SAP HANA platform can deliver such level of massive simplifications and innovations.

From a business value perspective, this means that SAP S/4HANA creates unique opportunities to reinvent business models and drive new revenues and profits. First, enterprises can now easily connect to people, devices, and business networks to deliver new value to their customers on any channel – the Internet of Things and Big Data become accessible to any business. Second, enterprises can dramatically simplify their processes, drive them in real time and change them as needed to gain new efficiencies – no more batch processing is required. And finally, business users can now get any insight on any data from anywhere in real-time: planning, execution, prediction, and simulation – decisions may be made on the fly with a high level of granularity for faster business impact.

From an IT value perspective, this means that SAP S/4HANA creates unique opportunities to simplify the landscape and help reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) with SAP HANA as the great simplifier. First, enterprises can now reduce their data footprint and work with larger data sets in
one system (for example, ERP, CRM, SRM, SCM, PLM co-deployed) to save hardware costs, operational costs, and time. Second, innovation is also made simple with an open platform (SAP HANA Cloud Platform) to drive advanced applications – for example, predicting, recommending, and simulating – while protecting existing investments. Third, business users can leverage a simple
and role-based user experience based on modern design principles which minimizes training efforts while increases productivity. We also support customers with simple configuration: setting up the system and during its use. And finally, enterprises get choice of deployment: cloud, on premise, and even hybrid to drive quick time-to-value.

Ask Approyo: How can SAP S/4 HANA lower your TCO?

Simplified Architecture for Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

SAP S/4HANA can dramatically reduce your TCO by impacting all pillars of the TCO equation:

• Lower data footprint: By storing a single copy of data in-memory and eliminating the needs for aggregates, materialized views and indexes
• Reduction in setup costs: Faster time to value with SAP Activate
• Lower testing costs: By eliminating certification requirements for non production HANA hardware
• Simplified landscapes: by blending transactional and analytical systems into one platform.
• Native integration: offering out of the box integration with SAP Cloud solutions like SuccessFactors and Ariba
• And Increased asset utilization: with co-deployment of APO on the same HANA box as SAP S/4HANA
