SAP Launches Its Biggest Software Product, The S4 HANA

sap_large

SAP has launched the most high-stakes renew of its core software line, the S4 HANA, aiming to convince multinational corporate customers that its software can now run their most critical business applications much faster.

The company said that its corporate planning applications and newer cloud-based Internet software would work together using a single, modern user interface. Forrester Research estimates that could lead to exponential improvements in SAP data-crunching times.

The S4 HANA, promises to cut the time it takes to compile business accounts and forecasts to minutes, instead of hours and days, by analyzing vast amounts of data in local memory. This provides instant-access retrieval instead of the slower call-and-response method of pulling data from hard disks, CDs and tapes

SAP’s newer approach is to combine its super-fast “in-memory” database with business analysis functions. This lets company planners drill down into actual financial transactions and draw on a range of both internal and external data instead of relying on statistical assumptions.

“It’s about managing a business in detail rather than in the aggregate,” Forrester analyst George Lawrie said. “That means looking through the windshield rather than the rear-view mirror.”

At a product launch in New York, followed afterward by a capital markets day for financial analysts and investors, SAP executives will face questions over moves to deliver more of its software as cloud-based Internet services instead of packaged software running on customers’ in-house computers.

Most analysts accept the industry shift to cloud software delivery. But they want SAP to disclose more financial metrics that can allow investors to track how the cloud business is performing relative to its classic packaged software business.

SAP has acknowledged the move to the cloud will force it to backtrack on long-promised profit margin gains that have been a big investor draw, in favour of potentially faster revenue growth.

With the introduction of S4 HANA, SAP is looking to eventually bring all of its customers under one roof, a process that will entail further software development by SAP and complex decisions by customers about when it makes financial sense to convert organisational information from existing data formats.
