SBN Value creation with SAP S/4HANA Day

April 18th, 09:00-15:30.

The move to S/4HANA represents lots of opportunities but also risks and challenges.
SAP S/4HANA as the digital core of the intelligent enterprise is much more than a classic ERP System. To treat the move to S4 as a technical upgrade project, runs the risk of missing out on the opportunity to reap the real benefits from the new platform.

On the SBN SAP S/4HANA Day last June the term "The Perfect Storm of Intertia" was used to describe what was and probably is still the case for many companies using SAP, after the technical upgrade was done and with no transformational break throughs per se and no plans or roadmaps involving the business to improve or change, it becomes a very real possibility that the so called Phase 2 will never actually happen.

And phase 2 is the the main topic of this event, meaning how, why and what to do to create value with your move to SAP S/4HANA.

These are some of the questions that you will find answers to:

  • Cleaning the core - what does that actually mean?
  • How to apply tools to reduce your technical debt?
  • How do you need to change your thinking from the legacy ECC to SAP S/4HANA to consume its innovations and modern process design?
  • How to use Fiori to increase user productivity and new ways of working?
  • How can you include new users to consume analytics and reporting?
  • How to open your eyes to possible business innovations by the use of BTP, mobile apps, user Interfaces and automations in the forefront of technology?
  • How can I benefit from both SAP S/4HANA and BTP, a combination that opens up lots of possibilities. 
  • If you apply the process patterns from the past, you treat SAP S/4HANA like SAP R/3 and we know that process design in the 1990s and 2000s was limited by resources and functionality. So how can you benefit from a library of best practices and maybe even standard business processes to avoid inefficiencies, workarounds and aged processes.

Hvordan utnytte verdien av SAP S/4 HANA ved bruk av standard Fiori verktøy og BTP til å utvikle og utvide applikasjoner

En ting er å implementere SAP S/4 HANA, en annen ting er å faktisk benytte seg av verdien det tilbyr. Vår erfaring er at mange som oppgraderer til S/4 HANA ikke endrer måten de arbeider på. I denne presentasjonen skal vi snakke om reisen fra GUI til Fiori, og innovasjon med Fiori og BTP.
Vi skal også demonstrere noen eksempler på skreddersydde applikasjoner og rapporter innen finans som har gjort arbeidet til kunden enklere og mer effektiv.

Rask gevinstrealisering av moderne brukeropplevelser, beslutningsstøtte og ansatteffektivitet ved kombinasjonen av SAP S/4HANA og SAP BTP.
Fullgod tilgang til SAP som kildesystem via Fiori er mye mer "plug and play" hvis du samtidig er på SAP/4HANA og BTP. Denne kombinasjonen åpner fantastiske muligheter raskt og rimelig for å tilrettelegge for nye brukeropplevelser og ikke minst gjøre den enkelte mer effektiv i egen jobb. Koblingen realtidsdata og et moderne brukergrensesnitt gir brukerne bedre støtte for viktige operative beslutninger. I tillegg vil automatisering kunne fjerne manuelle arbeidsoppgaver og åpne for mer «self service».
Stikkord her er portaler (WorkZone), Arbeidsflyt og automatisering, integrasjon mot andre systemer og datakilder. Mobile løsninger via SAP Mobile Start eller SAP Build Work Zone.
