SAP S/4HANA can provide speed, simplicity, flexibility, faster analytics, lower costs, and the strength of HANA’s in-memory database for today’s highly agile business models. The top business benefits of SAP S/4HANA are as follows:

1.  Performance: SAP S/4HANA runs only on SAP HANA. The simplified in-memory database allows exponentially faster processing and simplified transactions with better aggregate table structures. S/4HANA improves performance and enables your business to plan, execute and generate reporting and analytics on live data.

2.  Agility: SAP S/4HANA end-user interface is entirely SAP Fiori driven. The user-friendly rendition of real-time business insights and intelligence on any mobile device becomes an added business advantage anytime and anywhere.

3.  Simplicity: SAP S/4HANA has a simplified infrastructure with a digital core that includes multiple applications like IBP, BI, etc. It brings unparalleled simplicity to the management and administration of the complete IT landscape coupled with the cloud adoption potential that it brings to the fore; hardware and network resources have never been so centralized.

4.  Reduced Total Cost of Ownership– S/4HANA brings functions like Global Available-to-Promise and master data governance into the core. The fewer the boxes to manage implies lower ownership and maintenance costs from an infrastructure point of view. Companies can visualize up to a 17% reduction in IT costs by moving from the old physical infrastructure into a more cloud-native environment supported by S/4HANA.

5.  More accurate forecasting- Embedded AI and machine learning applications continue evolving slowly but steadily in S/4HANA to enhance modeling, predictive outcomes, and forecasting.

6.  Tedious tasks automated– S/4HANA provides light process automation so organizations can automate routine tasks such as running reports that were previously done manually, freeing workers to focus on more productive actions.

7.  Innovation: Innovation is made simple with an open platform (SAP HANA Cloud Platform) to drive advanced applications – for example, predicting, recommending, and simulating – while protecting existing investments.
