In today's fast-paced world, businesses need to keep up with the latest technological advancements to stay competitive. This holds true for enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. There are many compelling reasons to Move To S/4HANA, including improved data analytics and insights, better user experience, greater flexibility coupled with the SAP Business Technology Platform & reduced total cost of ownership. These overarching business benefits plus a plethora of improved system functionality (which will be explored later in this series), puts a move to S/4HANA at the forefront of every SAP customer on ECC or SAP Business By Design.

Improved Data Analytics and Insights

‍

SAP S/4HANA is an in-memory database that allows for real-time data processing and analysis. This feature allows businesses to make quick, data-driven decisions. With S/4HANA, users can access live data and run reports in real-time, giving them a better understanding of their business operations. The real-time analytics feature means that end-users can access insights and recommendations based on current data, helping decision-making processes.

Improved User Experience

‍

Making systems easy-to-use for business users is key in ensuring companies can effectively do their work. The S/4HANA system offers a personalized, intuitive interface that is easy to use for all stakeholders. With the SAP Fiori GUI, users can access critical information quickly and efficiently. This feature can help reduce user training times and increase productivity considerably.

Enhanced Flexibility

‍

S/4HANA offers a modular structure, enabling companies to add or remove features based on their requirements. Moreover, with the SAP Business Technology Platform companies can extend their solutions and integrate with other systems easily.

Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

‍

S/4HANA has a lower total cost of ownership than its predecessors. Cloud deployments heavily reduces and need for infrastructure and ensures upgrades are completed in a timely manner – allowing businesses to stay up to date with the latest functionality. Businesses may also deploy on-premises or via a hyperscale, giving businesses flexibility around investment into their landscape.

In Summary

‍

The benefits of moving from legacy SAP systems to S/4HANA are numerous. The system offers better data analytics and insights, improved user experience, greater flexibility and scalability, lower total cost of ownership, and improved supply chain management. Moreover, Gartner has included SAP S/4HANA in the Leader’s Quadrant for Cloud ERP Suites for Midsize Enterprises.

Businesses should consider upgrading to SAP S/4HANA to stay competitive and gain a strategic advantage in the market. With the advanced analytics capabilities, personalized interface, and a modular structure of S/4HANA, businesses can adapt to changing circumstances while keeping up with the evolving industry standards. While many companies have already made the switch, those who haven’t should seriously consider migrating to S/4HANA to take advantage of the benefits that it offers.
