The secret star is the data

But the prize question is: Who will play the lead role? The Sapphire in Orlando gave a hint of that in May of this year:

Even though the SAP Cloud Platform took center stage there, there was a secret second star: data. After all, it is the basis and fuel of the modernized application landscapes based on the new software generation from Walldorf.

But in order for them to actually fill the main role, a kind of collection point and staging area for enterprise information is needed even before the migration to SAP S/4 Hana.

This "staging area" is provided by the system-independent platform for information management JiVS-IMP.

This is where the editorial potential of the information stock can be determined before migration, where data and its quality can be analyzed and optimized, for example, by means of enrichment and harmonization, where filter rules can be defined and made available in a neutral format for the subsequent transformation and migration of the information by suitable SAP tools or third-party solutions.

With JiVS-IMP, all the players on the set are perfectly prepared for the migration to SAP S/4 Hana when it's time for action!
