HIGHWAY TO S/4 HANA

SAP S/4HANA— Start your engines Speeding to insights and actions with lower TCO New cloud, mobile, and in-memory technologies are making instant insight and action an everyday reality—any place, any time. Change happens in real-time and businesses need to be able to respond in real-time to deliver true value to their customers.

This demands swift handling of the ever-growing mountains of data available to influence and drive core business processes. It is time for the Intelligent Enterprise.

SAP has put real-time business within reach with SAP S/4HANA. This next generation platform unifies

HIGHWAY TO S/4 HANA

the lightning-fast analytics of SAP HANA with transactions, enabling enterprises to gather and process data while simultaneously applying it to consecutive business process, all in real time.

Whether you are planning an installation, considering a data base migration, using Business Warehouse (BW) for reporting only, or facing performance issues, SAP S/4HANA can help you reinvent your business.

And there are compelling reasons why you should make the move now—including better business value, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and enhanced application and virtualization opportunities.

1

SAP S/4HANA—Start your engines Accelerating the ROI When considering the move to SAP S/4HANA, it’s important to recognize why sooner is better than later (Figure 1). The return on investment (ROI) is clear—the new SAP HANA platform offers

enhanced business value and huge TCO savings.

In addition, SAP is creating new applications that are only available on SAP S/4HANA, such as Simple Finance, so not making the transition could limit your growth and expansion on SAP Business Suite.

Moving beyond business information

immediately tangible benefits, including:

Information is one of the most valuable assets of any business. Effective management and interpretation of data can set a business apart from its competitors.

But Capgemini knows that business information and analytics go even deeper in the truly competitive enterprise. When information can be gathered, processed, and analyzed with speed and agility—and in direct relation to business processes—it is at its most powerful.

Assembling your crew With a new platform at the center of your business, do we need a different set of skills? If the existing team is the correct one, what skills do they need?

We need to stop relying on historical ways of approaching SAP. Even though some core elements, such as finance, supply chain, project management, hard work, and a sense of humor, remain true, with the new technologies available and the requirement for more interoperability with point solutions and SaaS solutions, the way we think about business process delivery and customer experience requires new ways of thinking.

In fact, there’s a need to revamp roles by maybe adding some new ones and removing a few old ones.

4

From a technical viewpoint there’s a need for a lot of changes: l Handling

APIs and potentially a far more complex integration landscape will need hybrid integration skills

l Designing

APIs that may or may not be based on the SAP definition of an object (e.g. customer)

l Need

for robotics process automation (RPA) experience and exposure

l Machine

learning skills with languages such as

python l Chatbot

on natural language programming (NLP) and programming skills for “non-keyboard”

HIGHWAY TO S/4 HANA

interaction i.e. for setting up the Copilot or Recast artificial intelligence chatbots, or Alexa l Need

for designing human-centric interfaces, which would mean design thinking, and Javascript to build a system that has easy interactions through Fiori or Alexa/Cortana, etc.

l “New-ABAP”,

which is ABAP in the cloud and through eclipse to build extensions on top of the SAP S/4HANA core system

l More

business skill and industry knowledge from our consultants to deliver value on top of the SAP S/4HANA system

l AI

and Big data, how will the SAP solution process and analyze all the new data points that are being made available. And how will so leverage all this in your organization to really make better decisions?

From an SAP architects point of view: l Understand

how to design an API led design

l Understand

how to develop SAP custom code in SAP Cloud Platform

l Be

able to design solutions that go across SAP S/4HANA and SAP Cloud Platform, e.g. using machine learning on the data in SAP S/4HANA and other sources

l Understand

how to do DevOps across SAP.

HIGHWAY TO S/4 HANA

From a developer’s point of view one needs to understand: l Developers

need to have knowledge of platforms such as Eclipse and Github and automated testing tools such as Jenkins

l They

need to learn how to use SAP Cloud Platform

l They

also need to start developing SAP cloud platform (SCP) and use APIs instead of all ABAP.

From a functional point of view as well as core SAP S/4 HANA skills one needs to understand: l Design

thinking to really understand the business problem

l Understanding

new ways to deliver (agile, DT)

l Being

able to do a functional design across S/4HANA and SCP. An understanding of the possibilities around automation/RPA (which should include UIPath, Blueprism, Contextor) and how these can be identified and embedded in business processes

l Following

on from this, the same is true for AI and ML: What is available in SAP standard, how can these be enhanced/developed further, how these technologies can be embedded in the business process. There is no point in understanding the standard process, or the AI and ML components, we will need a new type of hybrid SAP practitioner.

5

Assembling your crew

Functional Consultants will need a closer working with data/analytics colleagues and awareness of:

l Driving

l Positioning

of BW/4HANA

l Scrum

l Capabilities

of predictive analytics

l Embedded

analytics; how far can we go and what the split is between embedded and an EDW (Enterprise data warehouse) and live connection through the SAP analytics Cloud (SAC).

l Visualization l Blockchain

tooling; SAC vs Tableau vs PowerBI etc

scenarios and integration with SAP

S/4HANA.

The basis/infrastructure/cloud team: l Design

a landscape in any cloud solution (AWS, Azure, GCP, Virtustream etc)

l Design

and implement the SAP Cloud Platform

system l Create

deployment strategies across the landscape (both SAP S/4HANA and SAP Cloud Platform)

l Automate

as much as possible (e.g. frequent system copies etc).

Engagement managers who know how to deliver in the hybrid cloud with mixed methodologies for different components that include Agile and DevOps need to have the following skill sets:

6

the solution to standard and a fit-gap approach rather than driving to a set of requirements Masters who are far more hands-on than the traditional EM’s and PM’s from waterfall days

l They

cannot stand behind a plan but need to be working more closely with the team and the client so better interpersonal skills are a must.

A contract manager will need these skills: l Contracts

will not be entirely driven by milestones, from a waterfall methodology. If we cannot contract for a new style of delivery it is unlikely to happen

l That

you are not building to a fixed set of requirements

l And

all team members need to be signed up to a disciplined approach that keeps the core stable and aligns with the architectural principals for the project

l Our

customers are resetting their entire business models due to the massive technology adjustments they are thinking digitally the SAP teams need to as well.

Defining the SAP S/4HANA® journey Defining a successful path towards SAP S/4HANA to secure your journey and get the maximum value for your business.

Key customer questions about the move to S4

Do these questions seem familiar? How often are you engaged in discussions which ask the most pertinent, fundamental questions while making transformational shifts?

In today’s revolution of digital, the market for a cloud-first business transformation is exploding.

Organizations are investing rapidly in transforming their business models, their business processes and the supporting innovative technology, that would allow these changes to be scalable and agile. SAP S/4HANA Cloud is a SaaS based solution designed to deliver key business processes in an ‘as-a-service’ model. It provides preconfigured content for core business processes in finance, procurement, manufacturing and supply chain.

HIGHWAY TO S/4 HANA

With organizations rapidly embarking on complex digital transformation journeys, both the on-premise as well as the cloud editions, of the SAP Business Suite 4 SAP HANA® (S/4HANA) is supposed to drive value across lines of business and industries with the ambition to run digitized and efficient processes.

However, such journeys are never simple. They are never straightforward. There are uncertainties, pitfalls, questions on the “how and why do I make this move”, and of course the classic, “uh-oh!” moment.

CONA Services supports Coca-Cola bottlers’ growth with SAP migration to Microsoft Azure

CONA Services supports North American Coca-Cola bottlers, and it needed more from its cloud infrastructure and data to bring bottlers into the digital age. Migrating SAP on Microsoft Azure provided cost savings, better performance, and more possibilities for the future.

The world consumes almost two billion beverages every day produced by the Coca-Cola Company. The company’s global network of bottling partners plays a huge role in making that happen.

In 2006, the company launched the Coke One global program to better align bottlers’ data processes and to collaborate more effectively.

Coke One North America (CONA) provides each of the 12 largest Coca-Cola Company’s bottling partners with the tools they need to collaborate smoothly.

CONA Services set out to find the best cloud foundation for its existing SAP HANA applications. It chose to migrate to SAP HANA on Microsoft Azure, working closely with Capgemini, SAP, and Microsoft to complete one of the biggest migration of its kind.

The CONA migration was completed in just seven months from planning to full production.

The entire CONA platform now runs on Azure, making it easily accessible and scalable for bottlers and distributors.

The new CONA Azure platform handles roughly 160,000 orders a day, which represents an annual $21 billion of net sales value.

The company’s bottlers use the platform to help improve operations, speak the same technical language, and thrive in the digital age of bottling.

SAP Migration Success Spotlight: Driving innovation and IT transformation for Louisiana Pacific with SAP migration to Amazon Web Services Builders and homeowners across the country trust Louisiana Pacific engineered wood and other building products to create quality homes. A pioneer in high-performance building solutions, LP’s quality flooring, sheeting, roofing and siding products have helped the Nashville-based manufacturer become a $4 billion company.

Transforming to seize the market opportunity LP has always leveraged technology to manufacture materials as efficiently as possible to make the best use of their raw materials and labor. With the housing market in the U.S. starting to recover in 2013, the company wanted to use technology across its business to take advantage of the upcoming boom.

LP needed more from its technology: more scalability, better performance, and greater efficiencies. Faster end18

“The response time that we get helps our users get out of punching keys on a keyboard and back to serving our customers, running the business process, loading trucks, and delivering value to our customers.”

—Jeff Yelle, Director, IT Center of Excellence, LP user application performance, processing of nightly data loads, and optimizing costs were all

essential for creating a system to give LP a competitive advantage.

It also needed an agile platform to respond to future challenges more quickly and to nimbly support growth.

Following a technology review, the need for a more flexible IT infrastructure was identified. They chose to migrate from a datacenter model to a cloud-based SAP environment. This would provide scalability for rapid growth, agility in updated environments, more on-demand workloads, and lower operating costs.

HIGHWAY TO S/4 HANA

Migrating to the cloud

Reframing business operations

With a tight four-month deadline, the migration moved five SAP landscapes with more than 73 systems from a data center environment to the AWS Cloud without any interruption in LP’s fast-paced business processes. The migration was completed ahead of schedule and exceeded all expectations. Once the production environment went live, IT support personnel were prepared for calls reporting bugs, down systems, and other problems, but the support line was quiet. The team heard only that the new environment was operating faster and work was being completed more efficiently.

With SAP implementation deployed on AWS, LP now loads trucks faster with fewer logistical problems. Response time for employees is lightning fast.

Reporting now leverages real-time data, as well as nightly data loads, for fast and accurate business insights. LP has also seen an improvement in application performance of about 20%. Its new flexible cloud platform can easily expand as needed to add new workloads and functionality to accommodate the fluctuations of the housing and construction markets. It benefits from 24x7 availability and improved disaster recovery.

Building for the future The improvements establish a baseline that can be readily

scaled to support LP’s operations in the future. The company is now able to implement software patches and upgrades at a rapid pace that minimize disruptions to daily business operations.

Additionally, having adopted a cloud-centric mindset, LP can now easily leverage the benefits of the Internet of Things (IoT).

LP underwent a fast but transformative journey that radically changed the way its business operates. With frictionless agility, improved performance, and a resilient digital core, the organization can look forward to another 45 years of providing leading engineered-wood solutions to the construction industry.
