Transform Research and Development with SAP S/4HANA

A successful research and development (R&D) department brings new designs to life with speed and accuracy based on market, customer, and quality insights. R&D prepares the downstream departments to manufacture, sell, and service products with high quality and low cost while continuously iterating designs to create more profitable, desirable, and reliable products. Digital tools are needed for rapid design-prototype-test iterations to foster a “fail fast and fail cheap” approach. There is also pressing need to simplify the complexity in downstream processes such as manufacturing, service, and sales to execute a “lot size of one.” An intelligent, integrated, and visual product innovation platform is essential for efficient product development, faster time to market, and fundamentally better initiative success rates.

With SAP S/4HANA as the digital core, customers can iteratively and more collaboratively build a foundation of requirements-driven smart products that are brought to the market faster with full compliance and a wide range of configurations and variants. SAP S/4HANA allows companies to gain live visibility into idea pipeline, portfolio prioritization, project actuals versus budget, new product design, development history, engineering changes, and finally phase-out.

SAP S/4HANA enables companies to integrate, embed intelligence,and visualize the entire R&D process from idea, to product, to production, to service, and disposal. Connected and individualized products can be developed with full compliance and shorter time to market.

• Run design processes on live insights into customer needs and market opportunities
• Perform multilevel “what if” analyses with predictive insights to drive better design decisions
• Analyze live performance of the project portfolio with predictive insights at any stage of the innovation process
• Simplify access to project information for stakeholders and team members with the ability to drill down
• Define and analyze product costs and manage all engineering changes effectively along the lifecycle

• Manage flexible, high-performing, and ease-of-use configuration and classification for product individualization
• Integrate and validate compliance requirements in the development process and manage product declarations as part of the product properties for all variants across the product supply chain and lifecycle
• Plan and communicate resource demand to match available resources in the long and short term
• Simplify decisionmaking and processes across the enterprise for manufacturing, service,and marketing through intuitive visualization

Ask Approyo: How can SAP S/4HANA impact the Financial Industry?

The finance processes and technology platforms that have been utilized in the last 20 years are simply not agile enough for the digital economy. In the current connected world, new business models are limited by disconnected processes and legacy technologies, and enterprises can no longer wait until the end of the month to see results, or for the annual budget cycle to make investment decisions. Finance is at the heart of the digital business. Becoming digital enables finance organizations to reimagine the ways they achieve their CFOs’ key priorities; improving efficiency and ensuring compliance, driving business performance, and defining new corporate strategies. With SAP S/4HANA, this  can drive the ability to:

Reimagine Strategy

Companies require a platform that is open and adaptable, that enables real-time evaluation and analysis of new business models through dynamic planning and forecasting, accelerates integration of mergers and acquisitions, and also provides enterprise-level risk awareness and active management.

Reimagine Business Performance

As cycle times diminish and volatility increases, instant insight and decisions at the speed of thought become even more critical for senior executives and front-line workers alike. Every employee can become a profit manager utilizing a single version of the truth, available live and at the most granular level, with drill- downs by any dimension for instant plan-actual variance analysis, and prediction and simulation on the fly.

Reimagine Efficiency and Compliance

With radical automation, regulation, and embedded compliance, the time has come for “lights-out” finance. Business networks, coupled with faster deployment models in the cloud, allow for dramatic leaps forward in process automation. The rewards are more agile organizations, operational cost reductions of 40% or more, and, most importantly, access to information for timely decision-making to drive business outcomes. With core compliance automated, focus turns to protecting the brand. Enterprise risk topics become a focus while business networks provide visibility into supplier and credit risk.
