Overall Satisfaction with SAP S/4HANA Cloud
We have implemented SAP S/4HANA Cloud for one of our subsidiaries. It is mainly used by the financial department. They had an ECC system, but they wanted to be prepared for new business and SAP S/4HANA Cloud fits this goal.
- Fiori interface. There is no comparison between the old SAP GUI interface and the new Fiori.
- They came from an Oracle database environment, so with SAP S/4HANA Cloud they found a better performance in their batch processes. They had problems finishing batch processes before 8 a.m., with no real data. Now they have real data (data comes from outside systems) when users start his work.
- For IT people, the simple database structure helps to understand and resolve incidents.
- We have been using SAP S/4HANA Cloud for only one month and we do have much experience with, but we can say that the migration process (Brownfield) is not an easy process. SAP has announced new tools that we will test in our future migrations.
- Infrastructure cost increase. The fact of implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud increases the cost of the infrastructure by a significant amount.
- Reduced user time due to a more usable and friendly interface (Fiori). Users don't need to navigate several screens to find or complete information.
- Also, due to SAP S/4HANA Cloud improved performance, users can get reports quickly so they improve their productivity by being able to respond more quickly to the business.
No others compared. I had an ECC system with Oracle Database before I migrated to SAP S/4HANA Cloud. With Oracle I had performance problems, especially in batch processes with a large amount of data to manage or with massive processes. With HANA all this has improved substantially without practically having to touch code. Also users wanted a better interface (Fiori), and SAP S/4HANA Cloud was the right product.
