SAP-Solution: Daten

Staying in control in the storm of rising prices, volatile labor markets and the resulting sluggish revenues and shrinking profit margins is the central task of corporate executives.
With the conversion from ECC 6.0 to S/4, the long-known business partner concept becomes mandatory. It is therefore not possible to convert an ECC system in the brownfield approach without prior conversion.
Data availability is not only an architecture issue, but also a time issue. If delivery is too late, the added value is zero. Real-time is therefore a strategic component in data management.
NTT Data has revealed that two-thirds of companies in Germany are unable to derive any added value from the data they collect. The reasons are a lack of data expertise and a data strategy, limited budgets, and a lack of priority for the topic.
Companies need up-to-date SAP data and they need it as quickly as possible. However, a complete data withdrawal takes a long time and puts a strain on the system. An incremental pull, on the other hand, is complex and involves a high financial and time outlay.

Bill Clinton's campaign slogan "It's the economy, stupid!" also applies to the transformation to S/4. Only those who can reduce the mass of SAP and non-SAP data before and after the migration will win the race against time and save cash.
International growth is the goal of many ambitious existing SAP customers.
Have you probably heard too many times and yet it is wrong!
85 percent of companies see a great importance of data for their business - but at the same time they would not find a legal obligation to exchange data helpful.

Working on the SAP basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. 

This gives the Competence Center strategic importance for existing SAP customers. Regardless of the S/4 Hana operating model, topics such as Automation, Monitoring, Security, Application Lifecycle Management and Data Management the basis for S/4 operations.
