The Move to S/4HANA has been widely publicised since SAP’s announcement of the flagship solution. Over the years DyFlex Solutions have implemented numerous S/4HANA solutions – Cloud, On-Prem, PCE &Technical upgrades – we’ve experienced it all.

In Blog1 we explored the high-level benefits, in this blog we will look at the improved system functionality, how we safeguard an implementation with the best practices explorer and the extension of the solution with SAP Business Technology platform.

Improved System Functionality

SAPS/4HANA improves the system functionality in multiple areas. For the everyday end user, S/4HANA provides functionality including global search and no t-codes , Fiori tiles, and on the spot reports.

The global search functionality enables users to find information across various modules within the system quickly. By eliminating the need for t-codes (no more ML81N), users can focus more on their tasks rather than remembering complex codes. Fiori tiles provide a modern, streamlined interface, making common tasks accessible with just a few clicks. It allows for greater personalization, with users having the ability to configure their own tiles that direct them to frequently used transactions, reports, or analytics. Reports can be accessed in real-time, providing timely and accurate insights for decision-making.

Best Practices Explorer

The SAP Best Practices Explorer is an excellent tool to define a business's scope for an S/4HANA implementation. It provides guidance and information on the best practices for implementing SAP solutions in various industries and business scenarios. This tool can enable businesses to plan a successful implementation strategy and avoid costly mistakes. By leveraging the SAP Best Practices Explorer, organizations can enable the right functionality to meet their business needs. In addition, the tool increases end-user adoption by providing a user-friendly interface and straightforward training material.

Extend with the Business Technology Platform

The combination of SAP Business Technology Platform and SAPS/4HANA offers a host of benefits for businesses. Firstly, it provides a unified system for real-time data insights, meaning companies can more easily identify trends, issues, and opportunities for growth. This can help to streamline decision-making, giving companies a competitive edge.

Additionally, the platform enables businesses to integrate data from multiple sources, breaking down traditional data silos to provide amore holistic view of operations. This can help to improve collaboration across teams, increase efficiency and better manage resources. The technology platform also offers a few services that work hand in hand with your S/4HANA solution to extend the standard SAP offering, for example, SAP Robotics Process Automation– SAP’s tool to automate manual and time-consuming processes that hamper today’s enterprises.

In conclusion, a move to S/4HANA promises significant benefits to organizations. Improved system functionality allows for real-time data analysis and streamlined processes, while the SAP Business Technology Platform provides a wide range of possibilities for extensibility and innovation. Equally important is safeguarding the implementation process with SAP Best Practices Explorer, which ensures compliance with industry standards and reduces the risk of errors and project delays. By embracing S/4HANA,businesses can optimize their operations and stay ahead of the competition in a rapidly evolving market.
