Changes and Benefits New look and feel Simplified data model Business Suite integration
New Look and Feel From the Past To the Present
New Look and Feel Changes: New user experience Fiori launchpad Provides role-specific access to relevant apps and tasks Can be personalized Tiles can launch Fiori apps and classic transactions Works on other devices Digital assistance with voice recognition Intuitive search capability
New Look and Feel Benefits: Easier to use Gain flexibility to use on other devices Improved user productivity Decreased training time with intuitive screens Enhanced user satisfaction
Simplified Data Model Changes: Takes advantage of HANA technology Changes to the database structure Tables combined/deleted Redundant data eliminated No indices or aggregates (summary tables) Universal Journal Single source of the truth
Simplified Data Model Benefits: Data retrieval will be done very fast Calculations done on the fly Processing time reduced Performance Improved Smaller database size will be more cost effective
Business Suite Integration Changes: Re-integrates portions of SAP Business Suite products CRM / Grantor module Embedded Analytics Collection of all analytics features integrated in SAP S/4HANA Real-time analysis on the transactional system Many pre-built models and reports Brings transaction data and analytics into one platform Can be reported through various reporting tools
Business Suite Integration Benefits: May eliminate the need to have a separate data warehousing system and the need to replicate data - where the data is usually one day old Simplifies the environment Fewer servers Reduces system maintenance/support time and effort More cost effective
