SAP Solution: Suite on Hana

Linux is becoming increasingly important for Hana or SAP S/4 Hana as well as for data center transition and cloud computing.

With the Act on the Digitization of the Energy Transition, the productive start of smart meters can get underway. Meter operators must establish complete process support for smart metering as quickly as possible. An efficient process design can be realized on the basis of SAP IS-U, the SAP IM4G add-on and a market communication component.

Björn Dunkel and GIB have the midmarket firmly in their sights. In an interview, the new managing director explains the trends and why SMEs need specific and prudent partners, both locally and globally.

Let's forget all the marketing and the fine words of the Sapphire keynotes: S/4 Finance and S/4 Logistics are add-ons - similar to the well-known Enhancement Packages (EhP) - for SAP Business Suite 7 on Hana (SoH). You can get started quickly with them, but you can't live with them sustainably.

S/4 will replace the Business Suite in the future. But S/4 is still very young. Nevertheless, companies should include the innovations in their planning now, define their long-term SAP roadmap and start taking the first steps. Can Business Suite on Hana be a helpful intermediate step?

Once a decision has been made on the basic design of an SAP IT infrastructure landscape, changes are in fact only made on a small scale. In the "design and setup" of Hana, IT managers are now in a position to use various options.

If you want to get from A to B in IT, you have to be careful not to be swept away by the "digital tsunami". The challenge of digital transformation is lurking everywhere. Gaps and fractures have appeared in the organizational structure and processes. The CIO is supposed to put things right. But digital transformation processes are more about DP/Org than IT.

I forgot, what was I going to write here? Something about SAP. Well, the right to be forgotten has been demanded on the web and Google is trying to abide by it - others are shamelessly exploiting it. Was it SAP?

Who would have thought that after 30 months SAP could already name 320 customers with a productive Suite-on-Hana (SoH) system?
