SAP S/4HANA is an integrated intelligent ERP system based on SAP HANA, an in-memory database from SAP of Germany. In 2015, it received a major update from the traditional client/server ERP, evolving into an architecture that continues to progress daily. With RPA embedded in internal processes, enhanced functionality reducing human workload, and significantly improved intelligence functions like AI-based awareness features, it is expected to evolve further in the future. By combining it with the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), you can drive business innovation even further by leveraging a wide range of capabilities, including application development, while maintaining a clean core. The SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), deployed as a service on BTP, enables visualization and analysis of core business data. Tecnos Japan believes that for companies aiming to achieve integrated and controlled standardized operations across the entire corporate group or globally, SAP S/4HANA is almost the only option.

Migration Services for the 2025/2027 Support Deadline
As the end of the maintenance period for SAP ERP (ECC6.0) approaches, early action is required due to the time-consuming nature of migrating core systems. ERP renewal projects necessitate securing IT personnel, but recently there has been a significant shortage of ERP-related IT professionals. Therefore, it’s crucial to design a well-planned project timeframe and secure the necessary personnel in advance. Tecnos Japan offers comprehensive services, providing end-to-end support from assessment to migration.

After
Business processes are integrated and information sharing between departments is smoother.
Data duplication and errors were reduced, production planning was optimized, and inventory control was improved.
