SAP has been dominating the ERP software market space for quite some time now. Its simplicity, robustness, and ever evolving tech has helped its dominance. SAP has been known to take the current tech by storm whenever it hits the market with an upgrade. What began as isolated, one-off departmental projects has exploded into an enterprise-wide, mainstream endeavour. SAP always has something simpler and secure to offer in their every upgrade, same is the case with their latest upgrade offered in the market SAP S/4 HANA. SAP Business suite was equally robust and secure as S/4 HANA but lacked compute power which restricted the simplification of the applications built. SAP S/4 HANA addresses this problem by offering more compute power and less constraints which are supported by cloud integration.

SAP Business benefits

Based on research made public by SAP Value Engineering, S/4 HANA improvements over prior SAP ERP systems or competing, non-SAP systems include lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), improved user interface, easier maintenance, better integration with other applications (especially cloud apps), faster reporting, real-time analytics, new business processes and business models, deeper customer interaction and improved customer service, and most importantly, simplification.

• A savings of 400 working hours for each quarterly closing
• 86% faster reporting
• 26% faster year-end closings with a 61% cost reduction
• 24% revenue growth through new customer acquisition
• 30% increased market share
• 22% reduction in human effort

Businesses have until 2025 to decide their S/4 HANA Strategy, but adapting the new upgrade while it’s still young is a best strategy. It is an expensive upgrade, for any size of an organisation but once it starts generating the dividends it starts to answer the questions asked about its effectiveness.
