In order to support companies with SAP systems in the necessary implementation of the data protection guidelines, the IT consultant has founded the internal department \"Professional System Security\". Its range of services can now be viewed on the website www.natuvion.com\/datacompliance: From legal advice to auditing and analysis of existing system landscapes and processes to the implementation and support of necessary data protection measures - the consulting service includes the holistic consideration and support of all relevant aspects for the protection of sensitive data in accordance with the new EU-DSGVO.

The company carried out the migration to S\/4 Finance Add-on after extensive testing and has a positive assessment of the migration project. \"When we went live, everything was done within a day - including financial data migration and reconciliation based on before and after comparisons. Since then, we have been productive with S\/4 Finance Add-on 1503 with SP4 (1602) without any 'aftershocks' and are well prepared to support our customers with the migration,\" says Wolfgang Braun, CEO of SPV. \"We had evaluated all aspects of the migration in detail. The only limitation we were able to identify in our sandbox tests: The migration absolutely requires SP4 of the product.\" SPV works with the MM, SD, FI and CO modules. In addition, a non-SAP service add-on implemented in Abap is in use. This was deliberately adopted one-to-one to see how it harmonizes with S\/4. The result: only minimal adjustments were necessary.<\/p><div id=\"great-759247639\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6yfv7eho3Gc\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Fullsize\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fullsize\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Extended CloudQuality Suite<\/h3>\n<p>Panaya has expanded its CloudQuality platform to include functions for security and performance code analysis.

According to SAP, this ensures stable revenue streams that remain in place throughout the entire customer and partner relationship. Unlike the traditional model, where the partner manages every aspect of the transaction, Cloud Choice, profit option supports the partner's activities with elements such as contracting, billing and capture.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>SAP material file at the touch of a button<\/h3>\n<p>Otto Bock Healthcare in Austria modernized and expanded the existing SAP material file with solutions from Easy Software.
