faster access to data.

But what does that actually mean for your business?

Enterprises like yours are moving to SAP S/4HANA

Is your organization one of the

S/4HANA’s smaller data footprint allows you to work in one system with the massive data sets, saving hardware costs, operational costs and time. New capabilities allow you to reinvent business models, simplifying and automating to drive new revenues and higher profits. SAP S/4HANA will turbocharge a modern organization with digital transformation tools from Artificial Intelligence to IoT to machine learning, automation, and deep analytics.

S/4HANA overcomes legacy challenges, such as excessive customization, manual processes and complex integration into other enterprise systems, as well as resolving master data issues and improving the user experience.

Research also shows that a clear majority of customers working to progress the move to S/4HANA want to prioritize the modernization of reporting and analytics. They understand that “embedded analytics and the performance capabilities of S/4HANA are a key component in this strategy.” ²

SAP S/4HANA?¹

Whatever your motivation, most organizations will host SAP S/4HANA in the cloud

■ Total cost of ownership (TCO) is reduced: SAP on Azure offers a 45-75% TCO reduction

■ Finances are simpler, with predictable utility-based pricing that eliminates high-capex hardware refreshes and unpredictable maintenance costs

■ Hyperscale cloud provider security is now accepted to be higher than in many on-premises environments. Azure has the highest number of compliance and security certifications of any hyperscale cloud platform (72 and counting)

■ Skills shortages are no longer a brake on growth, with the greater ability of hyperscalers, like Microsoft Azure, to justify, attract and retain talent

With many enterprises reporting they intend to migrate entirely to the cloud in the near future, you can see the direction of travel is clear. The many attractions of the cloud model are now beyond dispute and that’s certainly true for S/4HANA cloud hosting too:

■ Scalability – either up or down depending on business circumstances – can be near-instant and more commercially viable, with rapid provisioning of complex multi-tier development and test environments

■ Reliability is higher than most on-premises data centers

■ Innovation into new areas and tools like AI, blockchain, quantum computing and IoT is simplified and accelerated

■ The complexity of software upgrades – including S/4HANA migration itself – is much more manageable. Azure is Microsoft’s Certified Cloud Platform for SAP, with the highest number of productive SAP deployments globally

And with 68% of cloud services today delivered by hyperscalers4, SAP is

collaborating with Microsoft to simplify, accelerate and future-proof the migration

experience.

Fujitsu adds value to technology investments

IT knowledge should be a given for any partner you consider. But what makes Fujitsu really stand out is our understanding of business outcomes and value.

Just as important, Results Chain allows you to assess the overall impact of any future decisions about customization, maintenance or upgrades, or whether to cut a deliverable from a project to save time. You see the total picture, rather than just any immediate, short-term gains.

Results Chain delivers a roadmap for change - one that helps ensure realistic and achievable benefits. It helps manage risk and is proven way to increase value delivered. In addition, it communicates and monitors the program so everyone on the team starts and stays ‘on the same page’.

Fujitsu is a global system integrator with the expertise and resources you need to get things done, we also model our customers’ IT investment options to allow them to prioritize spending and then track outcomes to ensure that the expected benefits actually materialize.

Often in IT programs, outcomes are heavily dependent on multiple projects. Changing one aspect here may have unexpected consequences there. Results Chain is Fujitsu’s modelling tool that automatically allocates outputs and value to individual technology components, services or projects – so you can make informed choices about what to drive forward, and what can safely be put on the back burner.
