SAP S/4HANA is SAP’s next-generation ERP suite, designed to be the digital core for today’s enterprises, applying intelligence across the range of strategic business processes. The new suite is built on the high-performance, in-memory HANA platform and leverages SAP Fiori for a personalized user experience. Therefore, the near-term plans of most SAP ERP customers involve evaluating and likely moving to SAP S/4HANA and the SAP HANA platform in the not too distant future. With that move come important choices on how to deploy the new suite.
