SAP S/4HANA is a newly designed software suite, fully based on SAP HANA, which was presented on February 3rd, 2015 by SAP. SAP S/4HANA fully utilizes the technical capabilities of SAP HANA such as in-memory and real-time functions, to overcome all the limitations of the past. SAP S/4HANA thus provides an immediate added value for all business sectors and industries. By being able to process and analyse huge amounts of data in real time, employees can make informed decisions in all areas, taking into account the current financial situation. Other benefits include a simplified data model and unprecedented flexibility in the design of organizational structures and business processes.

Rinse Tamsma, Senior Vice President, Global Partner Operations, SAP MEE: “Amongst other benefits, the solution provides faster and more accurate insight into the production and logistics processes. Customers can respond much more quickly when, for example, the availability of material is not given. More generally, in future customers will be able to benefit from innovations on the basis of simplified processes in SAP S/4HANA in combination with itelligence’s industry expertise in plant and machinery. ”
