Why SAP decided for a new platform?

The standard solutions of SAP (and its competitors) grew steadily over

the last decades in scope and complexity and became more and more

inflexible

Data models of current standard solutions have been designed for a

completely different technical paradigm - hence a redesign is required to

ensure:

Native usage of in-memory technology

Consequent simplification of business processes and related user

interfaces

Inbuilt business networking capabilities

Functional and architectural complexity of current systems do not allow

standardized operation in the cloud

S/4HANA is available for all Utilities processes today

sInnovations (sFIN, sLOG, hybris marketing, etc.) will be available exclusively on

S/4HANA

Utilities will benefit first from the simplifications of generic ERP functions (e.g. sFIN,

sLOG) on S/4HANA

SAP has a roadmap to simplify the current industry solution on the new S/4HANA

Platform

Industry-specific Public Cloud Solutions (e.g. C4C, Energy Analytics) complement the

S/4HANA Scope for Utilities and enable further simplification options

Maintenance of current Business Suite (on HANA and on any DB) is committed until

2025

SAP supports migration from any DB to new S/4HANA platform with predefined

services and a specific customer care program
