Business benefits of SAP S/4HANA Empowering business to maximize the opportunities of new emerging technologies New digital business models set demanding technical requirements.

IT cost savings S/4HANA simplifies your IT landscape and optimizes data volumes, removing parallel and overlapping data, to drive a reduction in ongoing operating costs and infrastructure investment. Is my tailored ERP investment wasted? Over the years, companies have invested heavily in ERP systems. It is important to ensure this investment is not wasted. In legacy ERP environments, processes are often tailored. By assessing whether there still is a need for customization, or whether pre-packaged alternatives can replace customized processes, Tieto will help you maximize the returns from your ERP investment. The more pre-packaged processes that are used, the more efficient the focus on developing industry-specific processes becomes.
