SAP has designed its whole solution portfolio for the intelligent enterprise. But what does this actually mean? Companies’ intelligence no longer lies solely with employees; instead, it lies in the technology and networking of all processes along the entire value creation chain. Networks, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning (ML), and predictive analytics are just a few of the keywords here. However, the step from digital company to intelligent enterprise is only taken if customers are the focus of all flows. The bread and butter of the intelligent company is ensuring that the customer journey can be recorded and mapped comprehensively. With SAP solutions and valantic’s consulting and implementation experience, companies become intelligent enterprises thanks to continuously and intelligently networked processes.

The added value of networked end-to-end processes with SAP S/4HANA is high in many areas: Real-time information and an easy search function regardless of format ensure quick results. The browser-based SAP Fiori user interface enables access to SAP from a variety of devices, including notebooks, tablets, and smartphones. Machine learning provides new, completely automated processes. What was previously spread across several systems now works directly in the standard system. Thanks to the HANA database, the memory requirement is reduced by up to 90% as compared to operation with an SAP R/3 or ECC system. SAP S/4HANA can also be operated in the cloud as Software as a Service (SaaS). In this variant as ERP complete solution with an extensive range of standard processes, there are no additional costs for maintenance and operation in the SAP S/4HANA cloud.

Transformation of old SAP systems to SAP S/4HANA

For the transformation to SAP S/4HANA, there are essentially three approaches: a complete new implementation (greenfileld), conversion of the existing SAP system (brownfield) or a transformation with a mix & match of greenfield and brownfield. Once the right approach has been selected, agile methods are especially appropriate for the implementation of SAP S/4HANA projects.

Agile project management with project simplification

valantic has developed project simplification for agile project management in clear partial steps especially for S/4HANA projects. Here, customers and valantic consultants can monitor project progress at all times and take measures to counteract possible fluctuations early on. A theoretical blueprint phase is no longer required. Instead, the project team works directly in the S/4HANA system even during the analysis phase. With the first release, there is a go-live with the most important basic processes.

The SAP HC world is undergoing massive digital and process changes thanks to the conversion to S/4HANA and new cloud products. Companies expect that the digital transformation will create space and time for what matters most, thus providing an important basis for future challenges in the HR world. For the HR department plays a key role in the story of a company’s success.

The challenge for HR departments is to strike an optimal balance between using state-of-the-art technologies and digital processes and in the process, providing optimal services for their own employees. Adherence to legal, wage, and operational requirements and data protection is obligatory and with the digital transformation it should be possible to complete the digital transformation in the HR department with foreseeable, fair, and transparent costs.

Multifaceted changes present new challenges for HR work: The digital transformation, artificial intelligence and people analytics, the skilled labor shortage, and demographic change will determine the future of the working world. The challenge of daily HR work is to attune state-of-the-art HR management and administrative tasks, data, HR systems, and processes of daily operation perfectly to one another and integrate them optimally.

The challenging task is to achieve a perfect balance between using state-of-the-art technologies, optimized processes, and providing transparent services for a company’s own employees, on through to identifying the optimal use of data to establish the company’s future in the long term. The fulfillment of legal, wage, and operational requirements and adherence to data protection are not a requirement, but a matter of course – if possible at foreseeable, fair, and transparent costs.
