Everything is alright but the area of improvement would be the support's response time.

Neutral

Our company is structured with separate teams for implementation and support. The implementation team consists of over a hundred professionals dedicated to efficiently deploying SAP S4HANA for our customers. We prioritize professionalism and ensure the software's effective implementation, emphasizing its strong security features.

It is a significant investment, around six hundred thousand dollars, and it involves both a one-time on-premises installation on servers and a cloud subscription with different flavors for SAP S4HANA.

I recommend it to other users and would rate it 9 out of 10.

SAP S4HANA on AWS is used mostly for SAP. Amazon AWS is one of the biggest installed bases for SAP solutions is why we selected Amazon AWS mostly for our clients.

The most valuable features of SAP S4HANA on AWS are that it's simplified and the analytical capabilities are good.

SAP S4HANA on AWS could improve by having more data centers because there are limited data centers in the region I am in. Amazon AWS has announced a few more data centers to be added, but they're still not 100 percent operational for SAP solutions.

Positive

The initial setup of SAP S4HANA on AWS is easy. The full implementation of the solution could take between 15 to 20 days. If it is only one system and it is a straight version with no upgrades and other things, then it will be only maximum of five to 10 days.

We use different teams for the deployment of SAP S4HANA on AWS, and currently, we are using two people.

We have approximately three to four people supporting this solution for maintenance.

My advice to others is this solution is straightforward and the deployment is very easy. I would suggest choosing Amazon AWS for SAP S4HANA if you have a nearshore data center to avoid any latency issues if we are in a different time zone.

I rate SAP S4HANA on AWS an eight out of ten.

SAP S4HANA on AWS can be used for managing financials, sales, inventory, quotes, or supply chains.

The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is that when developed on a new structured system it can be configured.

Whoever developed the current system that my clients have are no longer available and both engineers have retired, the solution's hardware has become a black box and they don't know how works. They spend an awful lot of time figuring out systems. They should reduce the ID expenditures.

If you go to AWS's site they offer training programs that are very good. SAP does not do the same, if SAP could provide some training that would be great.

There are other solutions that can connect with SAP S4HANA on AWS but there is not a lot of information that is provided on what they can do. If they could provide these details it would be helpful.

The price of SAP S4HANA on AWS is reasonable, given how much it costs to maintain a scratch-built system. To upgrade the support there is a fee.

I rate SAP S4HANA on AWS a nine out of ten.

We were doing a migration from ECC to SAP.

We deployed the database from another team called ECC into an SAP HANA system. The implementation project took about eighteen months. That team handled the technical aspects. My responsibility was configuring the module for the client, ensuring it allowed them to procure materials, make purchases, and process payments.

How SAP S/4HANA on AWS integrates processes with business objectives is highly effective for any business, whether an SMME or a large enterprise.

It is quite stable once you implement it well. Once you go live with the green light from AWS, they have good technical support for their engineers. You don't have enough capability as a service provider, and you need to call them. They have several great engineers who can assist you and ensure you don't have a failing project.

It improves your profitability. As you have designed AWS, they can assist you in ensuring that you meet your requirements.

Every time we launch a ticket, they respond immediately and assist us with anything we need. I am quite impressed with their technical support.

We use a tool called ServiceNow to log our tickets. AWS responds promptly and closes the tickets efficiently. We then rate them based on their response and our experience. I was part of the team providing feedback on their service.

Positive

Deployment is quite complex. There is a failure in terms of implementation. You didn't do due diligence to ensure that you fully understood the client's requirements and the capability of the system itself.

The database is quite easy to access, making it straightforward to gain insights into areas that need development in terms of business processes and identifying gaps. It is also essential to understand the skills requirements of your workforce. You need to assess where your SAP skills are lacking and where training is needed.

The integration with AWS helps in understanding business requirements effectively. AWS offers modules such as the Analytical Cloud Module, which can be utilized to identify areas of leakage, track revenue sources, and measure productivity and machine efficiency. 

Implementing SAP S4HANA on AWS can be quite expensive, and a proper feasibility study is necessary. However, if you have the financial resources, it significantly assists in improving productivity, scaling your business, and enhancing the profitability and efficiency of your company.

The AI integration is quite perfect. The recent developments we're using include HANA integrated with AI. AWS is emphasizing their analytical cloud, which allows us to draw AWS reports. They also have a Business Warehouse where you can store your information and then analyze it to create useful insights.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

S4HANA is an analytics suite. It's a cloud-based solution for managing an enterprise. Each enterprise has different departments, like finance, procurement, sales, quality assurance, planning, etc. The system has the capacity to manage all these departments in a single box and they're all integrated. 

The purpose of the solution actually is to manage all the organization's activities within your organization on a single platform. For example, when you register a transaction from procurement, the finance part of the system deducts it from the balance sheet. The same thing happens with sales, maintenance, or any other department. It helps you visualize your data in real time and make decisions.

SAP S4HANA is the same regardless of whether you host it on AWS or Azure like water is the same whether it's in a black or white bucket. It's the same solution. But within the solution, you have different models. Each of them is equally important depending on the industry.

We first deployed S4HANA for HSDF in 2017. We did OiServe during the lockdown and now we're doing it for NEP.

S4HANA is a highly stable solution because it's on the cloud. The solution is available 24/7.

S4HANA on AWS is scalable. We currently have three clients on it: OiServe, HSDM, and NDEP. The others are using on-premise solutions. So I will count those ones.

The support is okay because there's a support structure for that. You need to have first-level support and second-level support from a partner. SAP provides third-level support. SAP also has a platform where the partner can raise the ticket to SAP when there are issues that the partner cannot resolve.

S4HANA can be complex if your customer makes it complicated. At the same time, it can also be a straightforward solution if you meet a customer who is just willing to use the best practices. It's the same as SuccessFactors. You have standard rapid deployment and tools that SAP provides to deploy S4HANA within a short period. Some clients complicate the entire thing and say, "Well, I want to do this." In those cases, the project can last six months or longer than a year.

Or deployments for HSDF and OSA took six months. We expect to complete MDEP in six months because they have a simple process.

S4HANA is expensive. It costs much more than SuccessFactors. However, depending on the company, you can also get it at a steep discount. In Nigeria, they're trying to reduce the price because of the exchange rate issues. They're working on that, but generally, the solution is fine. It's an excellent tool. 

I rate SAP S4HANA on AWS eight out fo 10. I won't give it a nine because there is still room for improvement. 

SAP S4HANA on AWS is mainly used for deploying SAP applications.

The initial setup is very simple - they have the AWS launch widget, which helps to enable the deployment on cloud.

We used an in-house team.

SAP S4HANA gives really good ROI.

SAP S4HANA's pricing model should be more flexible and transparent - there's a lot of negotiation and internal factors, and some customers get better value and services for the same product.

I would give SAP S4HANA a rating of eight out of ten.

SAP S4HANA on AWS is a core end-to-end ERP enterprise for the organization. AWS, Azure, and GCP are hyper scalars that we use for hosting the solution instead of SAP data centers or on-premise data centers. The solution is used largely for managing enterprise planning and the organization's finances.

SAP S4HANA on AWS is an easy-to-use solution. The time to deploy the solution is higher and needs a lot of configuration. However, once the tool has been configured, it can help you provide a near real-time analysis option. As an organization, we are happy to use the solution.

It takes about six to eight months to set up the solution. We followed the activate methodology recommended by SAP India for the solution's deployment.

We pay an annual subscription fee for the solution, which is slightly expensive.

We've got a strong in-house team that currently manages SAP S4HANA on AWS.

Overall, I rate SAP S4HANA on AWS a nine out of ten.
