Transforming IT to run SAP® in the digital business
The digital economy offers incredible opportunities for businesses, but it also brings formidable challenges. IT departments struggle to derive fresh insights from complex, isolated systems. SAP HANA® addresses those concerns by replacing and transforming complex systems to help reimagine business processes and deliver real-time insights from data that’s always fresh.
SAPPHIRE offers a great forum for organizations, (customer and partners) to collaborate and exchange ideas and share experiences in navigating this journey to build a digital core based on SAP HANA®.
While there are different routes for different organizations; regardless of the road taken, common objectives include sustaining SAP ERP deployments while migrating to SAP S/4HANA. These objectives include the need to:
- Consolidate, automate and simplify IT to lower infrastructure costs and increase productivity of SAP® administrators, database administrators (DBAs) and IT operations staff.
- Deploy SAP S/4HANA as part of the organization’s standard data-infrastructure design and architecture.
- Run SAP with the “personality” of web 2.0 applications, bringing greater agility with higher-value features, including self-service, orchestration and application-lifecycle management.
- Enable new business processes and analytics-driven insights for success in the digital economy.
