Digital transformation is driving change in more and more areas of business. Processes and systems must be adaptable and easily integrated into a consolidated system landscape.

SAP's new S/4HANA Enterprise Management is the answer. It marks the transition from R/3 to a new integrated solution. In the process, the classic ERP modules and processes from the areas of finance and logistics have been modernized in new central business areas.

SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management's architecture and data models simplify data structures, enabling real-time access to relevant business data. You must have an SAP HANA database to use SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management.

SAP Business Suite vs. S/4HANA Enterprise Management

SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management clearly surpasses SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA, offering significant advantages, especially through its simplified data models and the removal of aggregate and index tables. These optimizations will reduce database size significantly and improve system performance.

The optimized data model is essential for logistics because it ensures greater transparency in inventory and material flow management. Companies can reduce their warehouse and safety stocks while responding more quickly to changes or critical problems in manufacturing processes.

SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management gives you immediate access to key performance indicators, such as the profit and loss statement (P&L), which optimizes and accelerates financial processes.

These improved and optimized processes allow companies to respond flexibly and precisely to external factors such as fluctuations in inventory or unforeseen disruptions. This is a decisive advantage in today's dynamic business world.

The core areas of SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management

SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management is the fully integrated platform that has transformed the classic ERP modules of SAP Business Suite (such as FI, MM, SD, and PP) into modern and more efficient areas. This restructuring enables companies to seamlessly control their business processes, optimize them in real time, and make them future-proof. The core areas of SAP S/4HANA include:

Finance: Real-time financial accounting, controlling, and cash flow management with accelerated financial closings and profitability analyses.

Sourcing & Procurement: Optimized purchasing processes, automated ordering, and effective supplier management for maximum efficiency.

Manufacturing: Production planning and control with integrated quality and capacity planning, support for make-to-order, make-to-stock, and just-in-time production.

Supply Chain: Transparent warehouse management with SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), optimized transport management with SAP Transportation Management (TM), and real-time visibility across the entire supply chain.

Sales: Seamless order and contract management with automated pricing and flexible support for omnichannel sales strategies.

Service: Efficient management of customer services and maintenance contracts, as well as support for field service management and fast processing of service requests.

Asset Management: Efficient maintenance and management of assets, including support for predictive maintenance with IoT integration.

R&D/Engineering: Innovative support for product development, costing, and lifecycle management to bring new products to market faster.

Human resources: Centralized personnel management and integration of advanced HR functions via SAP SuccessFactors.

Companies benefit from more efficient control, improved decision-making, and flexible adaptation to the requirements of the digital economy. SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management is the ideal solution for companies that want to optimize their processes and drive digital transformation.
