S/4 HANA

SAP S/4 HANA Next Generation ERP Software

SAP S/4 HANA (SAP Business Suite 4 SAP HANA) is SAP’s next generation Enterprise Management solution for business. It is fully built on the in-memory platform, SAP HANA, and designed to run ‘simple’ with a personalised user experience using SAP Fiori and a less complex data model than their previous SAP ERP solutions.
S/4 HANA supports end-to-end business process integration between its core components and SAP software-as-a-service (SaaS) cloud solutions such as SAP Ariba, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Fieldglass, Concur, SAP Hybris, SAP Cloud for Customer, SAP Financial Services Network, and other third-party solutions. SAP offers two different deployment options, on-premise and cloud.

 
 

SAP S/4HANA Migration Package

 

The origin of the products line in R/3 is an architecture whose functional and technical bases are 25 years old. During these 25 years the product has been changing and evolving on these bases.

The compatibility of the functionality maintenance in each version is a burden that does not allow for some aspects to re-engineering.

SAP S/4HANA inherits most of the functionality and logic of ancestor but in some aspects it is disruptive with the consequent impact on the passage from one product to another.

Integrating with SAP S/4 HANA

 
 

S/4 HANA, On-Premise Edition Integration

The integration of S/4 HANA, on-premise edition to SAP’s SaaS cloud solutions and third-party applications can be achieved using SAP Process Orchestration (PO), Web services, or SAP HANA Cloud Platform (HCP) integration service (formerly HANA Cloud Integration). Customers can use the SAP Best Practices for S/4 HANA, on-premise edition to extend and integrate their S/4HANA system. The Best Practices make the on-premise to cloud integration simpler to implement by providing:

  • Clear definition and description of the integrated E2E processes with the respective test scripts.
  • Automated and preconfigured integration content like for example iFlows or automated configurations.
  • Easy to use guides for the required manual steps.
 

S/4 HANA, Cloud Edition Integration

SAP S/4HANA, cloud edition is designed for enterprises that need standardised cloud integration offerings that cover the core business scenarios and the line-of-business cloud solutions. For the cloud edition, the main integration technologies are HCP, integration service and Web services. There are currently three versions of SAP S/4HANA, cloud edition available:

  • SAP S/4HANA, cloud marketing edition – for the marketing line of business
  • SAP S/4HANA, cloud project services edition – for the professional services industry
  • SAP S/4HANA, cloud enterprise edition – for a full ERP scope
 

Extending SAP S/4 HANA

In-app extensibility and side-by-side extensibility are the two ways an S/4HANA solution can be extended. These are complementary approaches and intended for different use cases. In-app extensions are implemented in the same system (or software stack) as the enhanced application.

Side-by-side extensions are based on SAP HANA Cloud Platform (HCP) and can be used to extend both S/4HANA cloud and on-premise. Customers and partners can extend the scope of their S/4HANA solution and integrate it with other SAP and non-SAP solutions. The diagram below illustrates how S/4HANA on-premise edition could be extended and integrated with an application running on a tablet or smartphone.
