The Benefits of S/4HANA

Performance

S/4HANA runs exclusively on SAP HANA, SAP’s flagship in-memory computing database. This means that programmes like S/4HANA can take full advantage of the outstanding transaction, processing and reporting speeds native to SAP HANA, as opposed to other, slower options. Functions that usually run in minutes take a matter of seconds, allowing you to achieve optimal business performance and a higher level of customer care using real-time data.

Agility

S/4HANA is the most user-friendly, flexible SAP solution to hit the market, with an end user interface completely driven by SAP Fiori (known for its high-quality, simplified user experience). This means that organisations are able to create bespoke, understandable business insights based on real-time data from anywhere they choose – a significant advantage when it comes to making important business decisions.

Simplicity

If there was one word to sum up SAP S/4HANA, it would be simplicity. With this highly streamlined solution, businesses are able to manage their IT landscape effortlessly, in a manner never seen before. When coupled with business wide cloud adoption, SAP S/4HANA centralises and unifies hardware and network resources for ultimate business performance.

Reduced Cost of Ownership

While it might not seem so on the surface, the adoption of S/4HANA is actually an incredibly cost-efficient solution. This is primarily because with it, businesses are able to combine the analytical and transactional capabilities of multiple different systems into a single solution – reducing overheads and providing centralised control. Removing the need for manual report collection from these different sources saves time and effort while providing far more accurate, detailed results.

Innovation

In the current climate, cloud adoption is at the forefront of technological innovation within business, and SAP S/4HANA is one of the primary driving forces behind it. The cloud has opened up a wide platform for different software vendors to experiment and provide a range of innovative products for business use, all of which expands the vast capabilities of S/4HANA.

What We Do

S/4HANA Readiness Assessment

In order to maximise your success in the SAP S/4HANA environment, you need to assess where your business stands in terms of data modernisation and the underlying systems that support it.

Acclimation specialises in providing S/4HANA readiness assessments and interface scans utilising our experience, SAP knowledge, in-house developed capability and partner tools.

The readiness assessment will provide customers with a clear road map to align your business aspirations and technological capabilities.

Our interface scanner enables clients to automatically analyse and document interfaces and helps you to identify and eliminate unused interfaces.

So how ready are you?

Migration Methodologies

When migrating to SAP S/4HANA, you have two standard options: Greenfield’s or Brownfield’s. However, Acclimation provides a third option. The third or Acclimation’s hybrid option provides additional functionality such as data cleansing, data transformation, realignment of organisational structures and the ability to select what data is migrated.

Acclimation will assist you in determining the best approach and migration path based or your road map from the readiness assessment, risk profile and end state required.
