Why S/4HANA Demands Specialized Expertise

S/4HANA represents a fundamental architectural transformation, not just an upgrade

ECC vs S/4HANA Architecture

SAP ECC

Application Layer
Multiple Redundant Tables
(BSEG, BKPF, FAGLFLEXA, etc.)
Aggregate Tables & Indices
Traditional Database
(Oracle, DB2, SQL Server)

SAP S/4HANA

Fiori UX + Embedded Analytics
(CDS Views, VDM)
Simplified Data Model
(ACDOCA - Universal Journal)
CDS Views & Virtual Data Model
(No aggregates needed)
SAP HANA In-Memory Database
Columnar Storage + Real-Time Analytics
