SAP S/4HANA

Overview

What is SAP S/4HANA?

SAP S/4HANA is a powerful, real-time ERP suite developed for digital business, running on SAP’s advanced in-memory HANA platform. It offers flexible deployment options, including on-premise, cloud, or hybrid, making it adaptable for any business size or industry. With a modern SAP Fiori interface, SAP S/4HANA provides a consumer-grade user experience that drives instant value across all business functions.

Transitioning to SAP S/4HANA

Businesses can transition to SAP S/4HANA through various methods based on their current setup. These include new implementations (for non-SAP or SAP legacy systems), system conversions (for current SAP ERP users), and landscape transformations (for consolidating or segmenting systems). The on-premise edition follows a traditional licensing model with self-managed updates, while the cloud edition is subscription-based, with SAP handling regular upgrades.

Deployment Options and Migration Paths

Choose the Right Path for Your SAP S/4HANA Journey

SAP S/4HANA offers various deployment and migration paths to support businesses of all sizes and needs. Depending on your current systems and objectives, you can choose the approach that fits best, whether you’re starting fresh, upgrading an existing system, or consolidating resources. Below are the main options available for deploying and migrating to SAP S/4HANA.

New Implementation (Greenfield Approach)

Start fresh with SAP S/4HANA by implementing a new system. Ideal for businesses moving from non-SAP systems, this approach involves a complete setup, with initial data migration from legacy systems.

System Conversion (Lift & Shift)

Transition your current SAP ERP system to SAP S/4HANA with a full system conversion. This approach upgrades existing systems and uses the Database Migration Option (DMO) if the database isn’t already on SAP HANA.

Landscape Transformation

Consolidate multiple regional SAP systems or separate out specific entities into a single, streamlined SAP S/4HANA system. Perfect for organizations needing a unified, global system.

On-Premise Deployment

Keep your SAP S/4HANA system within your own IT infrastructure. The on-premise edition allows for a traditional licensing model, with the customer managing all upgrades and maintenance.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud – Public Edition

Leverage SAP’s public cloud for a flexible, subscription-based model that covers specific industry and business scenarios. SAP handles all upgrades, so your system stays up-to-date with minimal maintenance.
