SAP S/4HANA is revolutionizing businesses by offering a transformative leap forward. With SAP ECC support ending in 2027, migration is essential to ensure operations remain secure and efficient. Let’s explore the key reasons for making this shift and how it can positively impact your business.
Why Migrate to SAP S/4HANA?
Migrating to S/4HANA is not just a system upgrade. It involves profound changes that transform the way your business operates, introducing new technological possibilities and ensuring that your operations are future-proof.
- Security and Operational Continuity Migration avoids disruption risks by ensuring continued support beyond 2027. Remaining in ECC can incur high maintenance costs and threaten regulatory compliance and data security.
- Cost Reduction Studies show that companies that have already migrated to S/4HANA have reduced their operational costs by up to 30%. This is due to the automation of processes and the elimination of legacy systems that require more maintenance.
- Increased Efficiency OS/4HANA, combined with the modern SAP Fiori interface, increases productivity by up to 50%. An electronics manufacturer, for example, reduced its production cycles by 30% by implementing automations in S/4HANA.
User Experience: The Revolution with SAP Fiori
One of the most visible changes brought by S/4HANA is the new SAP Fiori interface. Unlike the old SAP GUI interface, which was functional but complicated, Fiori offers a simplified, personalized, and highly responsive experience.
Imagine employees accessing critical data with just a few clicks, through customized dashboards, on any device and from any location. This makes day-to-day operations more agile and productive, increasing user satisfaction.
Real case:
A financial institution implemented SAP Fiori and was able to reduce the training time for new employees by 50%. This resulted in significant savings in time and resources, as well as a 40% increase in overall productivity.
Innovation and Competitiveness with Big Data and IoT
SAP S/4HANA not only automates processes, but also leverages emerging technologies such as Big Data and IoT to accelerate innovation. With real-time data processing, the platform enables your business to quickly adapt to market changes.
Practical example:
A retail chain that adopted S/4HANA was able to more accurately forecast inventory demand, resulting in a 20% reduction in costs related to excess inventory. In addition, the accuracy of sales forecasts increased by 25%, enabling quick and efficient adjustments to sales strategies.
Global Management: Real-Time Control
With S/4HANA, companies have a real-time view of operations. This means you can monitor the performance of multiple geographic locations simultaneously, quickly identifying areas that need adjustment.
Real case:
A multinational food company implemented S/4HANA to streamline its global supply chain, improving on-time delivery and increasing customer satisfaction. Real-time visibility into operations enabled immediate adjustments, increasing overall efficiency.
Deployment Flexibility: Cloud or On-Premise
SAP S/4HANA offers complete flexibility in its implementation, allowing your company to choose between cloud, on-premise or hybrid options, depending on your needs and infrastructure.
This way, your company can align its IT strategy with the reality of its business, ensuring agility and control, in addition to being prepared to adopt new emerging technologies.
Real Success Stories
- Production Efficiency: An electronics manufacturer reduced its production cycles by 30% by implementing S/4HANA with intelligent automation. This resulted in faster deliveries and more agile production.
- Reduction of Inventory Costs: A large retail chain used SAP S/4HANA to adjust its inventory levels more accurately. The result was a 20% reduction in storage costs and a significant decrease in product waste.
- Increased Productivity: After implementing SAP Fiori, several companies reported significant increases in productivity. By personalizing access to information, teams were able to focus more on strategic activities, reducing the time spent on manual tasks.
