Course Summary

SAP Business Suite 4 SAP HANA, in short: SAP S/4HANA, is SAP’s next generation business suite and the company’s biggest innovation since SAP R/3. It was unveiled in New York on February 3, 2015, and this course gives you the opportunity to get an overview and gain further insights into this new SAP offering.

SAP S/4HANA is fully architected for the most advanced in-memory platform, SAP HANA, and is designed on the most modern design principles with the SAP Fiori user experience (UX).

It will be offered as a cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployment option to provide maximum choice to customers.

SAP S/4HANA is designed to drive business innovation with simplicity by connecting people, devices, and business networks in real time to support the development of new business models.

It will also help accelerate the on-ramp to Internet of Things and Big Data. The simplified data model allows customers to reimagine their IT, helping to drive lower costs and deliver IT efficiency.
