Accenture og Orkla var midt i en stor SAP S/4 HANA-implementering da pandemien rammet oss alle. I denne lesson learned-sesjonen forteller Orkla og Accenture hvordan de på kort tid klarte å snu seg rundt og gjennomføre UAT-fasen remote på tvers av landegrenser.

Dette blir en ærlig beretning om utfordringer og suksesskriterier ved gjennomføring av hel-digital testing under en SAP S/4 HANA-implementering. Testlederne fra Orkla og Accenture vil også dele sine anbefalinger om hvordan testfasen bør utføres i fremtidige SAP-prosjekter.

S/4 HANA Cloud Essentials is the latest SAP branding of the public cloud variant of SAP’s S/4 HANA solution.

SAP Process Insights readily connects to your SAP ERP application or SAP S/4HANA software system and immediately begins surfacing process weaknesses and improvement opportunities. It generates process improvement recommendations quickly for automating or enhancing processes. Having identified weaknesses we then automate activities with a low-code/no-code platform and all needed capabilities for process automation like workflows, robotic process automation, or machine learning. 

In this session you will get an overview about SAP Business Process Intelligence. After that we will have a closer look at SAP Process Insights to identify process weaknesses which we then adress by using recommended best-practice bots in SAP Intelligent RPA.

Over the last few months, everywhere you turn, there’s another story about debilitating ransomware attacks on business-critical systems. From fuel and energy companies to food processing companies, no industry is safe or immune. The traditional lens through which we view ransomware attacks is no longer as effective as it used to be.  What’s needed is a new model to defend critical systems against ransomware - one that goes beyond the scope of just protecting endpoints and the perimeter, backing up files, and hoping for the best. Join Onapsis as we take a closer look at how enterprises should approach security to protect their most critical SAP systems from the looming threat of ransomware.
 
After the session, attendees will have a better understanding of:
• Critical business-critical security considerations for the enterprise
• How one application misconfiguration or vulnerability could put an entire enterprise at risk
• The best way to address security and compliance in an interconnected environment

Every organization using SAP will eventually upgrade to SAP /4HANA. The question is whether you should try to fix underlying security issues before, after, or during your migration to the new platform. Many security issues will be role or access related, but is it wise to redesign roles as part of an SAP S/4HANA implementation?  Fixing underlying security issues is traditionally a daunting task that many organizations put off until it becomes a crisis. However, does migrating to S/4HANA with its many new transaction codes make it a crisis? Will the budget provided to move to S/HANA also make it possible (or impossible) to finally ease the burden of having to support an outdated role catalog?

Join Allen Cutting, Senior Consultant at Security Weaver is the speaker for this presentation. Allen will demonstrate Security Weaver’s new tool, Authorization Architect, which simplifies, accelerates, and improves the role redesign process.  For example, Authorization Architect shows you which obsolete transaction codes your users have been executing and the new S/4HANA transaction codes that replace them.  Allen will also share ways to significantly reduce the time spent testing roles so you can ensure a good user experience on SAP S/4HANA and not be bothered by access issues.
