Templates for the process industry

SAP S/4 Hana brings added value. This is also the case for companies in the process industry with a focus on chemicals, pharmaceuticals and life sciences. The added value is particularly striking because of the integrated analysis functions and the evaluation of real-time data.

Templates for the process industry enable users to make fact-based decisions more quickly. Fiori has also revised the topic of usability - with its new look and feel, the user interface supports users intuitively and clearly in their day-to-day tasks.

Companies want to implement S/4 as efficiently as possible, exploit its full potential and, above all, set up compliant processes. The S/4 Hana project therefore focuses on three points: an agile project methodology (for example through SAP Activate), the right balance between orientation towards the SAP best practice standard and the individualization of success-critical processes, and process documentation in accordance with legal requirements (especially with regard to validation in the pharmaceutical industry).

More than industry-oriented processes

We have taken these aspects into account when designing our industry templates for the chemical industry with Fit4Chemicals and for the pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries with Fit4LifeScience. To this end, we have expanded the best practice processes contained in the SAP standard to more than 320 industry processes, which we can make available as a sandbox or development system in the shortest possible time. The advantage for companies? The complete process scope is immediately available for evaluation.

When configuring our templates for the life science industry, we consistently follow the legal validation guidelines. We have created the necessary documentation for process descriptions, configuration and test plans in SAP Solution Manager in accordance with the legal requirements.

We provide the documentation for the template with our own solution for documentation, testing and subsequent operation of SAP S/4 Hana as a single point of truth. This facilitates the fulfillment of pharmaceutical requirements and ensures the quality of the implemented solution while simultaneously reducing costs and project duration.

Templates for the process industry

Cost and time savings

All of this brings a number of advantages. User companies have a fully comprehensive industry solution with tried and tested best practice processes. Our standard in the templates enables the design of tailor-made, individual solutions for success-critical processes. The legal requirements, for example GxP or Reach, are covered. U

ur approach guides you through the project in a structured manner and ensures that all key requirements receive the necessary attention and that the new IT processes are aligned with the company's objectives. Compared to a conventional implementation approach, this ensures that project resources are used efficiently and up to 30 percent can be saved in terms of project expenditure and duration.
