SAP HANA
Introduction
Organizations that use SAP’s enterprise resource planning (SAP ERP) software are undoubtedly aware of the impending obligation to migrate to SAP HANA. SAP HANA is presently used by over 33,000 customers throughout the world.
SAP HANA
SAP HANA is an in-memory database that powers SAP’s ERP software. It makes use of random access memory (RAM) to organise, analyse, and give real-time data on large amounts of data in real-time.
Multi-mode processing, database management and management, application development and data virtualization are all features of SAP HANA. The Advanced Enterprise Application Programming Language (ABAP) is also compatible with SAP HANA.
SAP HANA is a faster and more efficient cloud database than its predecessor. It was designed for companies that want to make use of the cloud.
Need For Migration
The existing provision in business sectors are no longer sustainable and expect more ERP systems with access to leading-edge technologies.
HANA Migration In Logistics & Supply Chain Management
The unofficial term for the collection of supply chain management lines of business (LoBs) that run on the SAP HANA platform is SAP S/4HANA Logistics.
The SAP S/4 HANA logistics solution is a set of process and reporting enhancements made possible by SAP HANA’s in-memory architecture; SAP claims SAP S/4 HANA reporting speeds are 1800x faster than SAP ERP. Many reports and tasks, such as Resource Scheduling for Maintenance Planners and Maintenance Scheduling Board, can be completed using SAP Fiori applications, which are developed with the end-user in mind.
Another new feature in SAP S/4HANA is the grouping of available functionalities into value maps rather than modules, as in the conventional SAP Business Suite.
Users can use the Supply Chain LoB to help with general business planning, as well as storing and dispatching things once they’ve been purchased. Production planning, batch traceability, warehousing, and inventory management are all covered.
SAP S/4HANA Logistics Deployment Options
On-Premise
Traditional in-house IT infrastructure types are included in an on-premise implementation. This deployment model represents a SAP S/4HANA logistics instance that is physically hosted on the company’s premises.
Cloud
For SAP S/4HANA logistics deployment, there are three cloud alternatives, all of which require external cloud integration.
-> An organization rents a dedicated server space that is shared with other SAP S/4HANA clients.
-> The SAP S/4HANA infrastructure and hardware are housed in a company’s own data centre.
->The organization is given space to use SAP S/4 HANA on SAP’s private cloud in a SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud deployment.
Conclusion
Next-generation SAP S/4 business platforms enable entirely new levels of real-time business collaboration, delivering greater insights and more agile operational management than ever before; taking advantage of larger and more far-reaching business, supply chain, and operational data and presenting it as an actionable insight that supports process automation and quick decision making, resulting in the intelligent enterprise.
