Opening and Keynote Road to SAP S/4HANA

O Opening by SAP Education UKI K Exclusive Insight into the Future

Strategy of SAP

Get exclusive insights and discover how

new innovative technologies can help you

transform your existing business and prepare

for the digital economy.

A business transformation requires

adoption of new technologies like real-time

architecture, cloud, and in-memory, as the

success in the new world is built on new value

levers.

Get inspirations from use cases and business

cases for the future of business and how

operations will change in the upcoming

decade.

D01 SAP Cloud Platform Integration

SAP Cloud Platform is the enterprise

platform-as-a-service with comprehensive

application development services and

capabilities. It enables customers to achieve

business agility, create a truly integrated

and optimized enterprise, and accelerate

digital transformation across the business

– all without the requirement of maintaining

or investing in on-premise infrastructure.

Quickly extend cloud or on-premise

applications to deliver on company goals.

Personalize your existing applications or

choose from 1000+ prebuilt applications from

SAP partners that integrate seamlessly with

SAP applications. Bring together entire IT

landscapes, build IoT or Big Data applications

or “mobilize” existing legacy applications

– all in weeks and months, not years. In

this session we will take a look at the many

services that SAP Cloud Platform offers you.

SAP Cloud Platform, Integration Services

allows you to Improve business agility

and prevent data and application silos by

seamlessly and securely integrating your

cloud applications into your business

landscape. With the integration services

of SAP Cloud Platform, you can securely

collaborate with customers and partners at

scale to improve efficiencies as well as gain

real-time insights from sensors, devices,

and social sentiment. Integration Services

is an open, flexible, on-demand integration

system running as a core service on SAP

Cloud Platform. In this session the instructor

will build a sample Integration Flow that

demonstrates these features.

D02 The SAP Activate Methodology

The SAP Activate Methodology is a modular

and agile framework for implementing or

migrating to SAP S/4HANA. It builds on its

predecessors: ASAP methodology and SAP

Launch methodology, and is based on four

phases: Prepare, Explore, Realize and Deploy.

The methodology contains accelerators for

each implementation phase and work stream.

These include templates, questionnaires,

checklists, guidebooks and other tools to

facilitate a consistent and repeatable SAP

implementation and/or upgrade. In this

session we will review the four phases and

examples of where you might use templates

to capture delta requirements, structure

fit/gap workshops or design a system

architecture.

D03 SAP Solution Manager Quick Wins

s

Does the implementation of SAP best

practices and the associated tools for

managing the lifecycle of your solutions seem

to be an overly long process?

provided by “Quick Wins” such as Automatic

Blueprinting, Business Process Analysis, Root

Cause Analysis, Job Scheduling Management

or Custom Development.

D04 SAP S/4HANA Cloud vs

D05 Overview of SAP GRC

s

Access governance is a critical component in

a comprehensive and effective Governance,

Risk and Compliance solution. SAP GRC

Access Control provides the foundation to

streamline the process of managing and

validating user access to applications and

data, both on premise and in the cloud.

SAP GRC Access Control provides the tools

to help you manage access risk across

business processes; including, evaluation and

identification of risk at the user and the role

level, provide a compliant user provisioning

and deprovisioning methodology, compliance

certification reviews for user access, and

emergency access management. In this

session, you receive a detailed overview of

how SAP GRC Access Control’s tools can

give you the analytic analysis you need to

effectively manage access governance across

your critical business scenarios.

D06 SAP S/4HANA Enterprise

Management – Sales

How does the advent of SAP S/4HANA impact

your sales and distribution operation? In this

session we will take a look at features and

functions of key process areas such as sales,

outbound logistics, and customer billing,

and see how these are supported by the new

system.

D07 SAP S/4HANA Enterprise

Management – Procurement

How does the advent of SAP S/4HANA

impact your Procurement operation? In

this session we will take a look at features

and functions of key process areas such as

Business Partners, Operational Procurement,

key process areas such as Planning, The New

MRP, and Best Practices, and see how these

SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management

D05 Overview of SAP S/4HANA Finance

s

With the SAP S/4HANA Finance solution,

the offices of the CFO and CIO have an

unprecedented opportunity to drive financial

transformation together. SAP S/4HANA

Finance is more than just a set of new

features. SAP took its comprehensive, global

financial solution and rearchitected it to take

full advantage of SAP HANA. The result is a

dramatic reduction of the complexity that

finance departments face every day and

support for the full finance value map.

D06 Migration to SAP S/4HANA

Finance

This session sets the focus for the steps

involved when migrating to an SAP S/4HANA

Finance solution.

D07 SAP S/4HANA Central Finance

SAP’s goal with S/4HANA Finance was

to simplify and streamline the financial

data structure and to simplify the financial

processes. The challenge remains of how to

take a diverse IT infrastructure and transition

to the SAP S/4HANA Finance environment.

This is accomplished with the Central

Finance function. The key behind the

Central Finance function is to break out the

Finance and Controlling (FI/CO) processes

in non-S/4HANA systems and bring that

data into the Central S/4HANA system. It

allows real-time replication of data into the

Universal Journal. Is accomplished by using

current tools like SLT – SAP Landscape

Transformation to transfer data between

systems, and MDG- Master Data Governance

to harmonize that data into one format to post

into the Universal Journal. It can combine

data from both SAP and non-SAP system into

the S/4HANA . The Central Finance process

allows a customer to start the transition to

S/4HANA by using a phased implementation

approach, while still enjoying the benefits of

S/4HANA Finance.

HE01 SAP HANA Modeling Overview

Join this session to experience how SAP

Integrated Business Planning can help you

plan your company’s demand, inventory

levels, And supply, in your sales and

operations planning while monitoring the

process. This session will describe SAP

Integrated Business Planning as well as User

Access, Analytics and Alerts and Planning

Demand, Inventory and Supply This hands-

on session will allow you to use the tool to do

specific planning tasks.

applications available, but no matter how

many are eventually delivered, there will

always be a scenario where you need to

develop your own. This session will cover

the components, processes and tools use to

both develop your own SAP Fiori application,

and to extend existing Fiori applications to

make them fit your needs. The full process

wider BI landscape.

data warehouse, which is built on, and

optimized for, SAP HANA. BW/4HANA retains

many of the important capabilities of SAP

classic BW but provides more advanced

features that support the building of a heavily

virtualized data warehouse with access to

any type of data in any location. Come to
