ABeam Cloud® Conversion Express Factory for SAP S/4HANA®
Background
A transformation necessary to maximize the capabilities of SAP S/4HANA®
SAP ERP, which supports the business core, has evolved significantly in the form of SAP S/4HANA, which is the fourth-generation offering. Based on updates such as streamlining internal structures and adopting an in-memory database to enhance processing speed and usability, SAP S/4HANA helps make tasks more efficient and sophisticated so that all employees can engage in work of high added value. SAP S/4HANA is positioned as the “digital core” that acts as the nucleus to realize a true digital transformation (DX).
At companies that continue to use an SAP system, migrating to S/4HANA® will leverage the application assets and business processes that have been invested in and accumulated for the existing SAP system while making it possible to establish an environment that incorporates the latest technologies and functions into business activities promptly. Company-wide data utilization and management information analysis/reporting can be done in real time by processing data at high speeds using the in-memory database. This will facilitate data-driven management and make it possible to install a solid platform to increase competitiveness.
An integrated platform based on S/4HANA to accelerate innovation: The fact that we can seamlessly link SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) and a diverse range of cloud services also contributes to quick business expansion and advancement.
Preparing for the advance of digitalization, the innovation that aggressively introduce digital technology is required to business with enterprise system. Software vendors publishing the ‘roadmaps’ that incorporate A.I automatic process to each function. And we presume that this function will be expanded from now on. Accordingly, if the system migrated to S/4HANA® in early phase and utilize it as digital core, you can prepare for these innovative flows stepwise & freshly.
Challenges
Why Factory Services is Required?
Pitfalls
- The migration of SAP systems used as core systems are often large-scale projects that require time to implement. To avoid stress and confusion among jobsite users while migrating the system as quickly and reliably as possible, it is necessary to incorporate stakeholders. This is done while proceeding with the project with advanced project management and facilitation capabilities that anticipate the risks unique to an S/4HANA switch.
- The data model and system architecture is upgraded through a process of advancing from SAP ERP to S/4HANA. The migration process brings with it major difficulties that require extensive SAP application and technology expertise, such as customization, adjusting applications, reviewing add-on processes, and utilizing S/4HANA-specific functions in line with the upgrade.
- When considering shifting to S/4HANA, one must have a broad and comprehensive knowledge of systems design and migration. This includes selecting the optimal platform, including RISE with SAP, linking it with the existing systems or SaaS/PaaS, and selecting tools and designing methods for this purpose.
