SAP-Solution: S/4 Finance

The automotive specialist Voss is strengthening its competitiveness with a global finance system. To this end, the company relied on Consilio when switching to S/4. The result is a global transformation with a downtime of just four days.

The new SAP licensing policy around indirect use is also causing trouble in purchasing. Those who do not want to switch to S/4, but replace the classic SAP SRM with an external solution, are confronted with rising, often uncontrollable costs.

CFOs expect their IT to be closer to the business strategy, to have more control competence, and to be more agile. Digital Finance makes it possible to question grown structures and to transfer them to a harmonized S/4 One Finance target structure.

With the introduction of Hana 2, the path to S/4 for existing SAP customers has become even more challenging. In this exclusive interview with E-3, Hinrich Mielke, Director of SAP at Alegri, outlines the advantages and disadvantages of possible changeover scenarios.

S/4 in the MS Azure cloud is a Sapphire premiere, presented by SAP CEO Bill McDermott and MS CEO Satya Nadella. Who will win the race for S/4? HEC, AWS, T-Systems or Azure? SAP partner Alegri chose Azure and has already implemented it. The CFO is very happy with the result.

With S/4, SAP has launched an ambitious ERP project. Everything is new, so SAP does not want it to be understood as a successor to ECC 6.0. Scheer CEO Josef Bommersbach provides information about the requirements, tasks and plans in an E-3 interview.
