How Accurate Was Hasso Plattner on Customers Being Too Risk Adverse for SAP S/4 HANA?
ByPrimary Researcher April 9, 2016May 19, 2021

… experience with MRP and all of the supply and production planning methods, and Hasso’s statements here do not make any sense.
Secondly, in my book Repairing your MRP System, I explain that a significant factor that holds back running MRP is that MRP is so frequently run from the ERP system — and ECC and S/4 HANA are ERP systems.

This is because ERP systems provide poor quality MRP functionality compared to applications that specialize in supply planning. For instance, if I talked about a 24 hour MRP runtime with the best breed vendors that I know of that …

Is IBP an Upgrade Over APO?: Updated Article

… is over capacity.
However, the EWM product is not designed for overflow warehouses. But is instead simply a more advanced warehouse management application versus the more basic SAP WM, which is part of the SAP ERP product. This misnaming does not normally have any impact on how the application is actually used. If one follows the term’s correct use, then one may ask why SAP IBP only performs the S&OP process. If one thinks of IBP incorrectly as simply a “more involved” form of S&OP, the individual will also be let down because SAP IBP only …

ByPrimary Researcher April 6, 2016May 10, 2021

Executive Summary

SAP makes a large number of false proposals around S/4HANA.
In this article, we review these claims for accuracy.

Video Introduction: SAP HANA
https://youtu.be/MnHDrzjEA0I
Text Introduction (Skip if You Watched the Video)
SAP HANA is SAP’s database, which combines a columnar database with very fast hardware. There has been quite a bit of marketing information written on S/4HANA or HANA ERP.

… not exist in SAP ERP and is maintained in PP/DS. The primary method of managing this data is with the MASSD transaction in SAP APO.
Simio has two major areas that require setup. One is the data, such as the materials and BOMs.
The other is the actual model building.

ByPrimary Researcher April 2, 2016May 19, 2021

… I have adopted the term here to mean the major marketing theme employed by any software vendor.
In analyzing the marketing tent poles used by SAP going back to the company’s origin, interesting things surface. SAP’s first tent pole was the integration of operations to finance in its ERP system. This was highly effective as it both resonated with customers, and it also happened to be true.
What Has Been the Real Customer Buy-In on SAP HANA?
The marketing and sales investment in SAP HANA has been enormous. So what has been the client’s response to …

Why SAP HANA Is a Fast Database For Analytics
ByPrimary Researcher April 2, 2016April 6, 2021

… a columnar (every table is one column of data) is called horizontal partitioning.
This is because the regular relational table is broken into columns or partitioned.
SAP’s Proposed Reasons for Its Position
SAP has presented HANA as so unique that customers should be prepared only to run the new ERP system — S/4HANA on HANA, and that S/4HANA will not ever be ported to any other database platform. As the vast majority of SAP ERP systems currently run on Oracle, that is quite a bold stance.
SAP proposes that the reason for taking this position is the following …

The Art of Blaming the Client When an SAP Project Goes South
ByPrimary Researcher March 13, 2016May 18, 2021

… every time an implementation goes sour, it seems as if the official publications put more of the blame on the clients. The repetitiveness is such that it appears to be an algorithm at play when a project goes south. We review an article written by a fake independent expert on ERP, who is highly biased. You will learn how this fake independent expert provided false information to readers about the SAP ERP failure at The City of San Diego.

… have them)
An implementation approach assumes a small and simple solution, with tiny requirement gathering as the standard – simple configuration is accepted in all areas. (although this point is not generally emphasized)

RDSs are a standard package. For example, the RDS Foundation Starter RDS includes material for the following areas:

ERP
HANA
Lumira
Fiori
BOBJ

However, at a previous prospect, while the RDS Foundation Starter was included in the scope, only one or two areas above were in scope.
The larger RDSs have enough content to organize the documentation per area of SAP. We will go into Accounts Receivable to …
