SAP Solution: SAP ERP

Many companies are about to switch from SAP ERP to S/4 Hana. At the same time, it is worthwhile to update the electronic data interchange (EDI). Whether greenfield, brownfield or a hybrid approach, an EDI migration project can be surprisingly easy to implement (but also surprisingly frustrating if done incorrectly) and brings some benefits to the application. Historically...
The extension of support for SAP's "old" ERP world is intended to reduce the pressure on companies to switch. The Walldorf-based software manufacturer also promises a simplified licensing structure for its product landscape.
From the end of 2025, SAP ERP will no longer be maintained. Anyone who has not yet made the switch to S/4 by then will have a problem. So the motivation to finally take on the migration is growing every day.
Customers today interact across many touchpoints, both B2C and B2B. Processes and technologies must be questioned and realigned not only across the company, but beyond the boundaries of the company.
Cpro's subsidiary, Cpro Strategy, focuses primarily on document-centric processes in SAP.
No monthly SAP news should be disregarded. The Short Facts are dedicated to smaller news items as well as seemingly more or less important statements from the community. This is the place for SAP-specific press releases that otherwise tend to be overlooked.
Google is involved as a public cloud provider for SAP Hana and Hana-based applications and shows which features the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers and which differentiation points can be realized compared to other public cloud service providers.
Many companies are currently thinking about a possible technology change - e.g. to S/4 Hana.
Master data plays an increasingly important role in times of digitalization, S/4 and Industry 4.0. The Swiss manufacturer Franke Kitchen Systems is taking a new approach to continuously improve its data quality in a process-oriented manner.
With a planning solution based on SAP BW-IP and Lumira 2.0 for the front end, sales at Rittal can plan sales in an IT-supported, efficient manner and at the desired level of aggregation.
SAP software, especially the utilities billing solution IS-U, is the basis for the majority of German electricity and gas billing. With the transformation of the previous ERP to S/4 Hana and the end of maintenance in 2025, the industry is currently looking to the future with many question marks.
The use of a Hana database requires a legally compliant configuration of the log components. But how can a concept for this be created and technically implemented before productive use?

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.
