From SAP APO to SAP S/4HANA and SAP IBP
SAP will discontinue standard support for SAP APO in 2025. Learn why it pays off to switch to SAP S/4HANA and SAP IBP.
The pace of business is increasing, putting enormous demands on ERP systems. Staying competitive requires speed, agility, and the ability to innovate. SAP S/4HANA aims to address these needs. The next-generation business suite forms the digital core of a modern business – combining connected business processes with a single source of truth and an intuitive user experience powered by SAP Fiori.
SAP S/4HANA helps businesses turn the challenges of the digital age into brand-new opportunities. The business suite increases the flexibility to try out new business models, accelerates app development, and facilitates collaboration. And thanks to the underlying SAP HANA database, SAP S/4HANA enables real-time analytics to support rapid decision making.
With conventional databases, real-time analytics is impossible. But SAP HANA, the underlying basis of SAP S/4HANA, works differently. As one of the most advanced in-memory platforms on the market, it forms the foundation for real-time ERP and data-driven insights. It also reduces IT complexity by eliminating data redundancies.
SAP S/4HANA serves as the digital core of your enterprise and simplifies your IT infrastructure with the SAP Cloud Platform. This enables you to integrate new applications and processes faster than ever before.
SAP S/4HANA eliminates data redundancies and allows you to work with larger data sets within a single system. With a smaller data footprint, you reduce hardware costs and operational expenditure.
Thanks to the SAP Cloud Platform, you can continuously innovate and adapt. The open platform as a service allows you to instantly take advantage of new solutions and quickly and easily develop your own applications.
Depending on your requirements, SAP S/4HANA implementation can be carried out on-premises, via the cloud, or as a hybrid deployment.
SAP S/4HANA implementation is a sizeable initiative – and every company’s journey is different. Starting with value discovery workshops and consulting, itelligence can help you uncover the best ways to reap the benefits of the ERP business suite.
Our consultants support you in developing a tailored roadmap to ensure a seamless transition – no matter whether you choose to implement on-premises or migrate to the cloud.

In addition to support and consultation, we can carry out the technical implementation on your behalf – allowing you to experience the benefits of real-time ERP with minimal risk.
