SAP Solution: ERP

Enterprise Resource Planning is the holistic and business organization of physical resources and capital as well as data in terms of the company's purpose. ERP is also a collective term for many organizational, technical and business IT applications and solutions.

SAP's clean core concept is not a repair service; rather, it is a development scheme for the current and future ERP generation. Clean core is an approach and a roadmap that begins with ERP/ECC 6.0 and extends well beyond S/4 Hana. In addition to Abap and SAP BTP, it serves as the framework for ERP architectures. However, only a select few SAP partners have fully mastered the principles of clean core.
SAP service provider SoftwareOne relies on the SAP Basis automation suite EPOS from Empirius to provide SAP Managed Services. The resulting benefits are rated as "significant" in the following interview.
Clean Core in conjunction with Cloud ERP is the new benchmark for a well-implemented architecture that combines the highest standards of security, flexibility and innovation in one approach.
Are you in a tug-of-war between maintaining a clean ERP core of S/4 Hana and taking advantage of the unlimited customization possibilities with classic methods? The challenge: striking a balance between standard functions and customizations.
The term ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is probably used by the layman to describe stringent end-to-end business processes: Why else would someone plan the resources of their organizational and operational structure - Enterprise? It seems logical to think things through from start to finish, and yet classic ERP programs find this difficult. But there are solutions.
Variant configuration is demanding. In the SAP environment, the complexity is countered with efficient digital end-to-end configuration according to the "model once - configure and use anywhere" principle based on a first-class, standardized and central data model.
Do you know the feeling of missing out on valuable cost savings due to outdated systems? Innovative paradigm shift: using contract data to automate E2E processes!
Appealing 3D visualization and interactive configuration directly on the 3D object are integral components of end-to-end configuration in SAP. This helps to eliminate technical hurdles in complex detailed and system configurations and ensures a positive user experience.
The SAP standard has a number of gaps, for example in variant table maintenance (AVC or LO-VC). A modern SaaS cloud solution based on SAPTP provides a remedy and supplements the SAP standard with convenient functions for variant table maintenance that are 100% SAP-compliant.
There is a solution to the problem of time-consuming and error-prone characteristic evaluation in SAP AVC or LO-VC: The Variant-ID solution bundles all information on individual configuration characteristics in a unique ID, thus creating the greatest possible efficiency in data management.
SAP is continuing its massive restructuring: the successor to SAP Business Suite, S/4 Hana, has long since arrived. The end of mainstream support is also fast approaching, making a migration an inevitable next step. Furthermore, SAP is repositioning itself in the market with a focus on cloud solutions.
We have a long-standing relationship with a number of leading software providers, including SAP, Microsoft, Siemens, IBM, Oracle, and many others. Each of these companies has a proven track record in IT and has been instrumental in helping us manage our organization effectively.

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.

For the second time, E3 magazine is organizing a summit for the SAP community in Salzburg to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana groundwork.
