Q: What are your key takeaways from your discussion with Bert?
A: The topic of discussion was how SAP S/4HANA & Fiori coordinate on customization requests (custom reports, tables, or other RICEF objects) and how particular cloud features are pre-built to satisfy business needs. Therefore, there aren’t many requests for alterations usually. However, there are tools (ABAP lite) to support you with modifications for just about any custom objects. It is more relatable to an eclipse tool with embedded ABAP in a developer’s language. The main point of Bert’s presentation was the improvement of BTP in SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
The main point of Bert’s presentation was the improvement of BTP in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud atmosphere. Along with API development, it also supports and improves a variety of clients.
Q: Were there any surprising elements in your discussion with Bert?
A: Yes! He talked about one of the implemented projects and finished in about 70 days! According to Bert, the customer’s success depends mainly on their ability to comprehend the project. More with regard to its procedural needs, though. However, customers who clearly describe the requirements benefit from the innovation by having a better design experience and requiring less rework.
The infrastructure setup leverages speed and accuracy in implementation time. SAP S/4HANA on the cloud is similar to SaaS (Software as a Service). Therefore, the maintenance, installation, and other security requirements proceed without difficulty.
The main goal of SAP’s cloud technology is customer success. Here, you can use digital transformation to spread corporate innovation across the SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS platforms. Further, if you want to move to the cloud and set your business operations as a class apart, keep your mind and ideas open to an agile approach.
