In the interaction of the solutions in the new SAP environment, C\/4 takes over the directed \"radiating\" tasks - the bilateral communication with the customers according to the requirements of the digital age.<\/p>\n<p>C\/4 puts customers at the center of business activities. It supports all areas in the front end and is therefore externally oriented. S\/4, on the other hand, as an ERP system in the backend, continues to be responsible for the operational processes of companies - in other words, it is more inward-looking.<\/p>\n<p>Because C\/4 and S\/4 work together organically, by using both systems simultaneously, companies minimize the not inconsiderable time and cost that would otherwise be required to integrate CRM and ERP.<\/p>\n<h3>High potential: combination ERP-CRM<\/h3>\n<p>This integration of ERP (S\/4) and CRM (C\/4), which is easily possible in the SAP world, results in a number of advantages for companies. Master data created in ERP, for example, as well as data on delivery status, can be automatically used by CRM, for example, to create quotations.<\/p>\n<p>Orders entered in CRM can in turn be transferred to ERP for invoicing and shipping. The analysis of processes also benefits from the connection of the data stocks. In this way, not only is customer service optimized - business processes are also streamlined and the coordination effort between departments is minimized.<\/p>\n<p>This enables significant cost savings to be realized. With C\/4, SAP enables its customers to fully network their entire business processes. This closes digitization gaps that have so far hampered or even prevented an all-round view of customers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/partners\/arvato-systems-gmbh\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"C\/4 outward, s\/4 inward\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11355 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-ARVATO.jpg\" alt=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/partners\/arvato-systems-gmbh\/\" width=\"1000\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-ARVATO.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-ARVATO-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-ARVATO-100x11.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-ARVATO-480x54.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-ARVATO-640x72.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-ARVATO-720x81.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-ARVATO-960x108.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a sensation at Sapphire in June: the presentation of the Customer Experience Suite C\/4.
