SAP S_4 HANA Roadmap Update

  • 4 months ago
In this webinar, presenter Carl Dubler discusses the benefits and improvements of SAP's S/4 HANA system, now in its fourth major release.

With over 1,500 organizations relying on S/4 HANA, it's SAP's fastest-growing product due to its simplified data model, improved user experience, and numerous capabilities.

The finance process, for example, has been streamlined with a simplified data model named Universal Journal, eliminating the need for reconciliation and enabling soft-closing.

Additionally, the detrimental problem of database locking in inventory processes has been resolved by reducing inventory tables to one. IT benefits include significant data reduction, improved IT management, consolidation of applications, and cloud opportunities.

The latest update includes reintegrated transportation management, advanced variant configuration, demand-driven manufacturing, and machine learning applications.

SAP has introduced a Transformation Navigator tool to help businesses identify potential benefits and plan their transition to S/4 HANA based on their existing SAP usage data.

Adoption paths and resources are also provided. The webinar concludes with a call to action for viewers to explore SAP's website for more information on features and upgrading to SAP S/4HANA.
