Digital Finance with SAP S/4HANA.
intelligent Solutions for the Finance Organization of the Future.
The Challenge
CEOs today prioritize revenue growth and customer experience (CX) alongside cost control and profitability.
Finance managers and CFOs of the future and present need access to complete and forward-looking cash flow data to achieve these goals.
To achieve that Enterprises need real-time financial information to make better, more informed decisions, and technology must support end-to-end, real-time financial processes. Finance leaders must deliver clear, actionable, and forward-looking insights to business stakeholders and decision-makers.
S/4HANA Solutions for Finance & Finance Operations
S/4HANA for Financial Management is designed to remove traditional barriers between transactional, analytics and planning systems to provide instant insights and on-the-fly analysis using all levels of financial data.
It consists of a set of interconnected accounting and financial management functions that process real-time data from the business applications in an S/4HANA ERP Solution. A decision-maker, for example, can use it to model financial scenarios and build forecasts.
SAP S/4HANA Finance is part of S/4HANA, which is built on SAP HANA, SAPs in-memory database platform. By storing data in the computer's main memory rather than on disks, in-memory databases allow faster queries and can analyze more information in a timely way than the traditional databases that typically serve as the data repository of an ERP system.
With HANA at its foundation, S/4HANA integrates cross-organizational functions such as accounting and procurement into one system that combines records of business transactions with analytics.
