The bulk of this presentation is going to be a roadmap diagram where we show the various paths that are available to deliver innovation into SAP ERP 6.0 and to convert to the S/4HANA platform.īefore we begin that process though I’d like to start with some terminology that you’ll see in the diagrams.Īni 1 AnyDB is essentially the term that’s been coined to describe any SAP supported database that is not SAP HANA.Īni 2 EHP is Enhancement Package, the successor to the old release upgrade approach that was commonplace prior to ERP 6.0. I hope this presentation helps you to understand the options that are available to deliver new innovation into your SAP ERP environments with a view to embarking on the road to SAP S/4HANA. We are in a situation at present where the end of life dates for the SAP ERP 6.0 based products are some 9 years away so the case for converting to S/4HANA is primarily driven by the innovation and simplification benefits offered by this new generation of ERP product. They are also looking for guidance on any technical constraints they may face along the way. We at Absoft, as an SAP consultancy, are seeing many of our customers evaluate their own future path to S/4HANA to determine what the journey from their existing ERP 6.0 environments to S/4HANA means for them.

There has been a huge amount of interest in S/4HANA since it was announced. A brief introduction as we begin, SAP S/4HANA was unveiled on the 3rd February 2015 and the on-premise edition has been available on general release to customers since the 15th of March 2016.
