SAP S/4 HANA Cloud is ideally suited for large, global enterprises that need to meet the needs and regulatory requirements of different markets and countries, especially in the core industries that SAP has historically excelled in, such as manufacturing, automotive, retail, and healthcare. It comes with industry-specific configurations for those industries that strongly reduces the need for costly customization, which in turn greatly simplifies 3rd party offerings on top of those more standardized systems

  • The complex integration we have with ERPs make it difficult to move or upgrade to SAP S4 HANA. Reimplementing all integrations and not impact business is a challenge
  • Requires a lot of tedious testing so that no role or function is impacted
  • Very time consuming to implement or upgrade. For large corporations it would take years to slowly migrate to S4HANA

The cost of SAP as an ERP is quite high and the switching costs associated with ERP systems are even higher. That being said moving from one ERP to another only happens once in a great while for large organizations. Those switching costs include retraining, IT hardware requirements, outside consultants and more

Our organization is quite satisfied with implementing this cloud. They can now perform tasks with less complexity and make accurate decisions with accurate data. Also, the automated reports produced by S4HANA are truly commendable. They save a lot of time. Additionally, it combines strong data visualization tools and indication features that draw the user's attention if there is any malfunctioning.

The technical support received by the ITT design teams and OS implementation team has been very useful in ensuring that the SAP ERP is well-tailored to our company's specific needs and operations. This coupled with the training materials, business process maps, and concept demos (sand-box demos) makes adoption easy on end-users.

The previous software I used was so limited in various core HR functions. On the other hand Core HR meets up our almost every requirement. And the very most reason to switch into Core HR is it has a free trail version for the users. That gives you much flexibility to check everything out properly

  • Cost Savings and Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):
  • While the initial implementation costs might be significant, the centralized data management and automation features can lead to cost savings over time. This might be achieved through reduced manual labor, better inventory control, optimized procurement processes, and streamlined operations, resulting in a lower TCO.
  • Better Visibility and Compliance:
  • The system's ability to offer comprehensive data visibility can enhance compliance efforts, mitigating risks and ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements. This can lead to reduced fines or penalties related to non-compliance issues.
