What makes SAP S/4HANA a key driver for digital transformation?

With its high-performance in-memory database, SAP S/4HANA enables real-time analysis and optimized business processes. The integrated platform offers comprehensive modules that work together seamlessly to increase the efficiency and flexibility of business processes. SAP S/4HANA also helps companies integrate new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, to prepare for the future.

Real-time data processing

  • Faster decision making: SAP HANA’s in-memory technology enables S/4HANA to process large volumes of data in real time. As a result, companies can make informed decisions faster with the most current and accurate information.
  • Data-driven innovation: Real-time insight into business processes and customer data enables the development of new products and services that respond directly to market trends and customer needs.

Process simplification and automation

  • Intelligent automation: S/4HANA integrates machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotic process automation (RPA) to automate routine tasks and increase efficiency. This relieves employees of repetitive tasks and allows them to focus on more strategic and value-added activities.
  • Streamline business processes: The platform provides standardized yet flexible business processes that help companies simplify their operations and respond more quickly to market changes.

Flexible IT infrastructure

  • Cloud integration: SAP S/4HANA is available both on-premise and in the cloud, giving companies the flexibility to choose the IT infrastructure that works best for them. This makes it easier to adapt to new business requirements and enables access to innovative technologies, such as IoT and big data.
  • Scalability: S/4HANA is highly scalable and can grow with an organization’s growth and changing needs, supporting sustainable digital transformation.

Modern user interface

  • SAP Fiori: S/4HANA uses SAP Fiori, an intuitive, role-based user interface that provides a simple, user-friendly experience. This promotes user adoption and eases the adoption of new digital processes.
  • Mobile work: The mobile availability of S/4HANA enables employees to access key business processes from anywhere, increasing flexibility and productivity.

Innovation platform

  • Advanced analytics and predictive capabilities: S/4HANA provides advanced analytics tools to help companies identify trends, make predictions, and proactively adjust strategies.
  • IoT and emerging technology integration: The platform supports the integration of IoT data and other modern technologies, enabling companies to develop new business models and adapt quickly to changing market conditions.

Increased agility and competitiveness

  • Quickly adapt to market changes: S/4HANA enables companies to respond quickly to market changes and bring innovative products and services to market faster.
  • Improved customer centricity: By integrating and analyzing customer data in real time, companies can personalize their offerings and improve customer loyalty.

How does SAP S/4HANA use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to improve your business processes ?

SAP S/4HANA make it possible to analyze large amounts of data in real time, identify patterns, and make informed predictions that improve decision-making. By automating routine tasks and providing intelligent support for complex processes, AI and ML in SAP S/4HANA help minimize risk, reduce costs, and open up new opportunities for innovation and the development of new business models.

Automating routine tasks

Artificial intelligence and machine learning in SAP S/4HANA automate invoice processing and inventory management. They reduce manual effort, minimize errors, and optimize inventory levels by analyzing historical data and current trends.

Predictive analytics

Machine learning is used to predict future demand for products or services, improving production planning and inventory management. AI models can be used to analyze financial trends and create forecasts that help companies plan budgets and investments more efficiently.

Smart resource management

AI-powered analytics in human capital management can predict employee turnover, identify talent gaps, and optimize workforce development strategies. In maintenance management, predictive maintenance with S/4HANA uses machine learning to monitor machine health and predict maintenance needs to minimize downtime.

Supply chain optimization

Machine learning enables comprehensive analysis of supplier data to assess potential risks and select the best suppliers based on factors such as performance, cost, and reliability. AI models can also be used to calculate the most efficient transportation route and optimal logistics strategy to reduce delivery times and costs.

Customer experience and service

AI-based chatbots and automated service processes enable efficient handling of customer inquiries and provide personalized responses that increase customer satisfaction. By analyzing customer behavior and preferences, companies can also develop tailored offers and marketing campaigns that build long-term customer loyalty.

Intelligent business applications

AI-powered applications optimize cash flow by automating payments and enabling more accurate cash forecasting. At the same time, machine learning algorithms help detect anomalies in business data and identify potential compliance violations.

SAP S/4HANA drives business innovation by providing a flexible digital platform that optimizes business processes and integrates new technologies.
ARRI benefits from SAP S/4HANA

The constant transformation in IT also drives a traditional company like ARRI to go along with digitalization. Together with itelligence*, we have opened a new chapter in IT with the introduction of SAP S/4HANA, so that we can keep pace with the market.
