SAP S/4HANA is the next generation business suite designed to help you run simple in the digital economy. It is built on the advanced in-memory platform SAP HANA, and offers a personalized user experience with SAP Fiori. It is deployable in the cloud or on-premise.
An in-memory ERP suite that acts as the “digital core” of your entire enterprise, S/4HANA supports the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, real-time analytics, mobile, business networks, third-party systems, and more.
Immediate, intelligent, and integrated ERP
The nerve centre of your entire business, SAP S/4HANA consolidates internal and external elements into a single, living structure that goes beyond traditional ERP software.
- It is immediate – empowering business users with insights to act in the moment.
- It is intelligent – going beyond automation to provide predictive suggestions.
- It is integrated – not only among your departments, but with the world.
Transforming sales
With S/4HANA, companies can streamline their sales and delivery, quickly addressing bottlenecks and other disruptions that drive customer churn.
Helping with corporate planning
By running what-if simulations – combining internal and external data to evaluate the potential financial impact of each scenario – a high tech company can use public information to identify the best acquisition target.
Consolidation of disparate systems
With the software’s central journal scenario and embedded analytics, booking information is calculated in real-time for one reservation, invoice, and journal entry, allowing (for example) large hotel chains to connect disparate systems after multiple mergers and acquisitions.
Quick and easy response to production issues and delivery delays
Material postings are processed in parallel, giving manufacturers real-time visibility into the material ledger. This visibility makes it quick and easy to respond to production issues and avoid delivery delays.
