Ask Approyo: What does SAP BW/4HANA mean in relation to SAP S/4HANA?

Since the announcement of SAP BW/4HANA, people have been asking what does this mean in relation with SAP S/4HANA?

SAP BW/4HANA is completely independent of and not a prerequisite for SAP S/4HANA and vice versa. S/4HANA provides operational reporting for current data from a single SAP application. SAPBW/4HANA delivers a modern data warehouse environment which allows organizations to report on current, historical and external data sources from many SAP and non-SAP sources. SAP S/4HANA Analytics is positioned in the same manner with SAP BW/4HANA as it is with SAPBW powered by SAP HANA.

S/4HANA integrates in the same way with SAP BW/4HANA as it already does with SAP BW powered by SAP HANA to...

  • Complement each other
  • Cover all analytic use cases on one data source
  • Provide a comprehensive reporting platform

New innovations taking place in SAP BW/4HANA ...

  • Are compatible with existing setups (customers can migrate to where necessary
  • Focus on Big Data and enhanced data management 
  • Primarily strengthen the Enterprise Data Warehouse character of SAP BW/4HANA

With SAP BW/4HANA being SAP’s strategic platform for EDW, its new functionality will enhance the integration with SAP S/4HANA in the long term.
