SUGEN Questions: SAP S/4HANA


1. Go-To-Market strategy SAP’s application landscape today is far broader than at any time in its history. SAP has moved beyond core finance and reporting

systems and into customer experience, resource and people management, eCommerce and digital engagement. CIO’s wishing to adopt

and exploit this landscape are faced with a significant and unpleasant challenge: how do they deliver and support these solutions, in a

market that has little experience and low capabilities? (Australia)

Does SAP have plans to better enable the domestic partner knowledge in/with its full product suite? (SAUG, Australia)

2. Transition from ERP (ECC) to SAP S/4HANA JSUG members typically maintain lots of custom codes in their ERP landscape. There are some tools for efficient conversion. It would be

great if there is a list of tools with respective purposes. (Australia)

We understand greenfield approach may be better (rather than migration) especially in case we maintain lots of custom codes in current

ERP landscape. But condition for each user may be different at detail level. Each user is always wondering which approach they should

choose. It would be helpful if SAP can offer some sort of assessment tools that allows users to decide their journey to S/4HANA with risks

and action items. (Japan)

3. Roadmap To what extent will SAP in future support in-memory databases other than HANA? (Netherlands)

Please share firmed up details of the in-house release planned later this year, plus currently intended focus/content for the 2018 in-house

release (Sweden)

4. Roadmap (Industry) What are the plans for functional richness in the S/4HANA portfolio for construction, energy and engineering companies? When do you

think the richness will be on the level of the Business Suite? (Norway)

A clear and transparent transition plan and roadmap for the HANA solution, along with all industry verticals, would provide some surety

that it currently causing some business uncertainty. Whilst many roadmaps are becoming available they are in various stages of

completeness. When will these roadmaps (HANA by industry) be complete and available? (Australia)

5. Roadmap (cross industry) What will be the strategy for Plant Maintenance in S/4HANA? Will new functions become available? Will MRS be automatically integrated

in the product? Will it also automatically integrate predictive analysis platform for maintenance defects on assets? (Belgium)


Please find latest roadmaps (Industries, LoBs) on SAP Roadmap (https://www.sap.com/products/roadmaps.html)


6. Why SAP S/4HANA? Over many decades of successfully supporting businesses through ERP solutions built on solid and reliable platforms, designed to deliver

core finance and reporting functionality, SAP is asking for its customers to take a leap-of-faith. Whilst it can be argued that the move from

ECC to HANA is less about a radical departure from traditional business architecture and much more about improved performance, better

integration and far greater functionality, it is still a largely unwelcomed (by business) transition. This situation has not been aided by a

roadmap that has matured and substantially changed over the past 18 months. (Australia)

7. Beyond 2025 SAP’s strategy regarding how they support ERP beyond 2025 and relation with Oracle beyond 2020. It is not necessarily one-shot

answer. We look for continuous dialogue about this topic. (JSUG, Japan)

Can SAP clearly publish a list of what systems and databases they will support post 2025 in an easy to consume manner and how often is

this being updated? (UKISUG, UK&I)

Customer feedback indicates that:

o There is still confusion about what is / is not supported post 2025.

o It is difficult to find information to confirm maintenance timeframes for products and mixes of products including underlying

database

Is S/4HANA the only solution supported post 2025, or is Suite on HANA also supported? (UKISUG, UK&I)
