What is SAP S4 HANA?
In two words, “S” for Simple, and “4” for Fourth Generation. That’s what SAP S4 HANA is – a highly evolved suite of simple applications (or sERP) running on the HANA database system.
SAP S/4 HANA is SAP’s next generation Business Suite. It was unveiled in New York on Feb 3rd, 2015. It is fully architected for the most advanced In-Memory Platforms, and is designed on most modern principles, with SAP Fiori User Experience. It will be offered on Cloud, On-Premise and Hybrid Deployment option to provide maximum choices to Customers. It is designed to provide simplicity to customers, by connecting people, devices and networks in real time.
What are the Key Points/ Benefits of SAP S4 HANA?
What do we mean by Simple Modules of SAP S4 HANA?
The first application to be fully re-written to take full advantage of SAP HANA is Simple Finance / sFinance focusing on Accounting, Cash Management and Integrated Business Planning. This will allow organizations to have real time views of their financial positions and allow end of month closing to be done in hours not days. SAP did a table clean up. For example the very old Material Master Database Tables from R/2 times (MARA, …) are finally no longer around, only views on the data.
The result is dramatically higher speeds and a 1:10 reduction in Data Footprint. Imagine - a 1 Terabyte SAP Database is down to 100 GB. This year will see the arrival of sLogistics, the next wave of re-written SAP applications for HANA.
With S4 HANA SAP is offering Fiori for free, to allow for all SAP customers to leverage the enhanced user experience through innovative user interface across multiple devices.
