What is SAP S/4HANA?
SAP S/4HANA is an ERP (enterprise resource planning) system that runs on the SAP HANA database. The “S” stands for “Simple” and the “4” refers to the fact that it is the fourth-generation business suite from SAP.
It is characterized by integrated, intelligent features. These features are possible thanks to a new, simplified data model and the SAP HANA in-memory database, which allows for real-time data analytics and forecasting. It paves the way for fast, data-driven decision making.
With the in-memory technology, it exceeds all its predecessors in speed. And with that speed comes agility, a natural business behavior.
