It will modernize the company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and benefit nearly 30,000 global employees through integrating advanced functionalities, such as enabling global manufacturing, supply chain and finance business processes. This achievement signifies the third crucial phase in Seagate’s digital transformation journey, complementing for Supply Chain and 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions.

Seagate embarked on this transformative path in 2021, transitioning from its legacy systems to embrace 麻豆原创 S/4HANA, 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors, and 麻豆原创 Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain.

鈥淲e chose 麻豆原创 solutions for our integrated ERP landscape because its strategy closely aligns with our own: to implement a foundational platform on which the business can scale and grow,鈥� said Grace Liu, senior vice president and chief information officer at Seagate.

Seagate’s leadership recognized the limitations of its existing ERP, prompting the need for an integrated platform to keep pace with evolving business models. 麻豆原创 solutions address these challenges, offering an integrated ERP landscape with centralized business rules and roles. The implementation aims to enable unified global reporting, overcoming hurdles posed by diverse data repositories and laying the foundation for scalable growth while minimizing total cost of ownership (TCO).

The go-live phase was executed efficiently, without operational disruptions, reflecting 麻豆原创鈥檚 commitment to a smooth transition. Seagate’s reliance solely on the 麻豆原创 Value Assurance program underscored the efficiency of collaboration, while the use of cloud application services for pre-go-live testing ensured a robust launch.

Seagate鈥檚 move to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA will provide the company with significant improvements in supply chain management, manufacturing execution, and even ongoing transformation. This recent go-live highlights the transformative power of 麻豆原创鈥檚 innovative solutions and strategic guidance in driving digital transformation for its customers.

Recognizing that each customer is on a unique path, 麻豆原创 has provided increased flexibility by extending maintenance commitments to its various software, database, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions in order to allow customers to undertake their complex business transformations at their own pace.

To help ensure a safe transition to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA, 麻豆原创 has committed to providing mainstream maintenance for existing deployments of core applications of 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 software until the end of 2027, followed by optional extended maintenance until the end of 2030. For customers that wish to leverage the extended maintenance offerings, they will incur a premium of two percentage points on the existing maintenance basis for these core applications. For those that do not wish to extend their maintenance support beyond 2027 but choose to carry on with 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 software systems, they will automatically be transferred to the customer-specific maintenance model.

Customers that are making the move to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA as part of their journey to the Intelligent Enterprise want to fully recognize its benefits and capabilities so that they can, in turn, innovate their business processes. With any transition, support and maintenance of legacy products are needed to protect existing environments as customers move toward the future. This is why 麻豆原创 aligned the mainstream maintenance commitments of 麻豆原创 NetWeaver 7.5 and 麻豆原创 Business Warehouse (麻豆原创 BW) 7.5 with 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 and 麻豆原创 BW/4HANA with 麻豆原创 S/4HANA respectively.

麻豆原创 NetWeaver

In a heterogenous software environment, 麻豆原创 NetWeaver allows organizations to integrate data, business processes, and various elements from different sources into a unified 麻豆原创 environment. Serving as the foundation on which 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 is based, and providing the architecture for enterprise application integration, it was necessary听to fully align the with that of 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7. As with 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7, mainstream maintenance for 麻豆原创 NetWeaver 7.5 is prolongated until the end of 2027, followed by an optional extended maintenance phase until the end of 2030. This extended maintenance phase for 麻豆原创 NetWeaver 7.5 comes at the same price and conditions as those for 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7. Mainstream maintenance for previous releases of 麻豆原创 NetWeaver will expire at the end of 2020, as they are not suited for interoperability with 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 over the next decade.

Throughout this extended maintenance period, 麻豆原创 will offer platform support for customers that run on platforms offered by 麻豆原创 鈥� 麻豆原创 HANA, 麻豆原创 ASE, or 麻豆原创 MaxDB 鈥� as well as those offered by third-party vendors. 麻豆原创 will provide platform support for its own databases and work closely with partners to qualify new valid combinations for 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 and 麻豆原创 NetWeaver.

麻豆原创 Business Warehouse 7.5 and 麻豆原创 BW/4HANA

麻豆原创鈥檚 enterprise data warehouse, 麻豆原创 BW 7.5, provides the tools and functions that enable customers to integrate, transform, and consolidate business data from both productive 麻豆原创 applications as well as external data sources. To align with the maintenance extension announced for 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7, will also continue until the end of 2027 with the option of extended maintenance until 2030. For older versions of 麻豆原创 BW, mainstream maintenance dates have remained unchanged and will expire at the end of 2020.

For those operating the next-generation data warehouse 麻豆原创 BW/4HANA, maintenance extension will align with the commitment announced for 麻豆原创 S/4HANA until the end of 2040. In addition, the product and innovation strategies for 麻豆原创 BW/4HANA are now fully aligned with 麻豆原创 S/4HANA.

麻豆原创 has always been committed to providing its customers with the support they need to implement projects and solutions and will continue to do so as they move towards a more intelligent future.

Karl Kessler is vice president of Product Management for ABAP Platform at 麻豆原创.
Lothar Henkes is vice president of Product Management for Enterprise Data Warehouse at 麻豆原创.

With a full program of offerings, services, and tools, 麻豆原创 intends to be a trusted partner that will be there every step of the way and support customers through their transitions. While delivering on transparency and trust, 麻豆原创 is also instilling confidence in its customers to plan their digital transformations with minimum disruption to their current business processes.

Undergoing such a vast transformation is never easy, but 麻豆原创 is working to make it as efficient and seamless as possible for each customer. Each customer鈥檚 experience is unique, so it is key to offer them the necessary flexibility and time as they undertake projects at their respective paces.

Over the last few months, 麻豆原创 has taken several steps to do that 鈥� from announcing the extension of mainstream maintenance for 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 for two more years to following up with several updates based on customer feedback and questions around contract conversion policy and maintenance strategy for existing on-premise solution landscapes. The various phases, and what they all mean for customers, are below.

Conveying Long-Term Mainstream Maintenance Commitments

Earlier this year, 麻豆原创 announced the extension of its maintenance commitment for 麻豆原创 S/4HANA until the end of 2040. Along with this promise, 麻豆原创 will also provide mainstream maintenance for core applications of 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 software until the end of 2027, followed by optional extended maintenance until the end of 2030.

The decision to extend 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 stemmed from customers鈥� desire for clarity on what the future holds for their individual transformation journeys. They were not merely looking for a technical migration, but also wanted to leverage the new capabilities of 麻豆原创 S/4HANA. Therefore, we wanted to give them the time to fully consider everything to its fullest potential.

Additionally, 麻豆原创 gave further clarification regarding the 麻豆原创 S/4HANA compatibility packs, for which availability is planned until end of 2025. The company has also given more clarity on the intent to provide alternative 麻豆原创 S/4HANA capabilities by 2023.

Thus, customers can migrate the compatibility packs toward the alternatives prior to 2025. It is a best practice to start with this as soon as alternatives become available rather than wait until the last alternative is provided.

Maintaining the Foundation for Successful Transition

A successful transition to a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system cannot take place without a solid foundation. With the 麻豆原创 NetWeaver 7.5 platform providing the architecture for enterprise application integration, and the foundation on which 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 is based, it was integral with that of 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7. As with 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7, mainstream maintenance for 麻豆原创 NetWeaver 7.5 is prolongated until the end of 2027, followed by an optional extended maintenance phase until the end of 2030. This extended maintenance phase comes for 麻豆原创 NetWeaver 7.5 at the same price and conditions as for 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7.

The 麻豆原创 NetWeaver stack builds on the foundation of operating systems and databases. Database platforms for 麻豆原创 NetWeaver and 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 run on database platforms of 麻豆原创, such as 麻豆原创 HANA, 麻豆原创 ASE, or 麻豆原创 MaxDB, and on platforms offered by third-party vendors. 麻豆原创 will provide platform support for its own databases and work closely with partners to qualify new valid combinations for 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 and 麻豆原创 NetWeaver.

In addition, the product and innovation strategies for 麻豆原创 BW/4HANA are now fully aligned with 麻豆原创 S/4HANA. As with 麻豆原创 S/4HANA, 麻豆原创 BW/4HANA will be maintained until end of 2040 through a sequence of releases.

Innovating Through Transition

While the move to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA is a key element to transforming into an intelligent enterprise, it is the innovation that can be realized through this that will truly allow customers to take advantage of what this new suite can offer to their businesses and, in turn, to their customers.

In order to provide customers more time to part ways with legacy systems that have been at the core of their operations for many years, 麻豆原创 announced a change to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA product conversion and 麻豆原创 S/4HANA contract conversion policy. This change grants customers executing an 麻豆原创 S/4HANA conversion dual use rights for both 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 and 麻豆原创 S/4HANA until completion of their transition to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA. This dual usage right was previously limited to end of 2025.

Through this, customers will be able to continue to access all the solutions and tools within 麻豆原创 Business Suite 7 as they make the move to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA and will have more time to consider how to best convert their licensed products. 麻豆原创 is not only looking to offer customers valuable time, but also wants to provide them more options to allow for a successful adoption while they continue to take advantage of their past investments. This will allow customers to unlock the potential for innovation, transforming business processes through artificial intelligence-enabled automation and next-generation tools.

Customers that are operating during this time of uncertainty can maintain confidence with a trusted partner like 麻豆原创 that will support them along their transformation journeys as they navigate this changing business landscape.

Further guidance and information on these changes can be found on .

In many ways, the past few months have revealed a story of accelerated transformation that is already underway. No matter how digitally mature they were before the disruption, businesses are beginning to realize that the need to change is not a one-time event or project. Instead, it is a long digital curve of responding to ever-evolving marketplaces, people, and social norms.

With off-site delivery of service packages, customers have found that the expertise and support they need to ramp up and accelerate their digital efforts is more accessible without having to sacrifice quality and personalization.

Revving Up Digital Strategies to Strengthen Continuity and Resilience

麻豆原创 believes in giving customers guidance, supporting their unique paths, and staying committed to their success across every phase of the transformation journey. This is the case whether they choose to implement 麻豆原创 solutions on their own, with the support of an 麻豆原创 partner or systems integrator, or through collaboration with 麻豆原创 consultants.

However, as new social norms begin to take shape in the workplace, 麻豆原创 recognizes that business transformation projects should be managed differently. Now more than ever, the workforce is decentralized and no longer engaging in face-to-face meetings regularly.

At its core, 麻豆原创 Value Assurance is designed to support customers鈥� distinct approaches with continuous collaboration and governance 鈥� on- and off-site. The offering provides remote access to 麻豆原创 experts who are ready to help create personalized service plans, execute projects smoothly, and deliver solutions that are resilient, sustainable, and flexible enough to ensure business continuity.

With access to 麻豆原创 Value Assurance on their terms, customers have the proven and preconfigured methodology, approach, and content necessary to accelerate successful go-lives of their 麻豆原创 solution implementations with less risk. They can experience an end-to-end engagement of technology and business process expertise, best practices, and risk mitigation services that are relevant from the beginning of the implementation to the end of the final rollout.

Setting the Foundation for Transformation

Every engagement with 麻豆原创 Value Assurance begins with proper planning practices to lay the foundation for a successful transformation. As the software provider, 麻豆原创 brings a level of knowledge and transformation experience that helps ensure customers are heading in the right direction toward their expectations. Based on uncovered insights, an overall digital transformation strategy is created, detailing the architecture of the complete 麻豆原创 solution as well as the transition to a cloud platform or changes to the on-premise environment.

Analytics is another critical topic during times of uncertainty, as organizations seek to gain real-time insights to achieve quick wins. Through the analytics design support service of 麻豆原创 Value Assurance, customers can address all aspects related to the architecture or implementation design on on-premise and cloud-based tools from the 麻豆原创 solution portfolio. These include 麻豆原创 S/4HANA embedded analytics, 麻豆原创 BW/4HANA, 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud, and 麻豆原创 Business Planning and Consolidation.

Moving to a Trusted, Reliable, and High-Performance Platform

When implementing and adopting new technology, many customers encounter the need to update their existing IT infrastructure to optimize the potential of new capabilities and take advantage of better ways of getting work done. For instance, a pure on-premise landscape can become a hybrid, where some solutions stay on premise and others are newly implemented in the cloud. Doing so requires a high level of attention to the technical integration of the two environments and differences in business availability requirements.

To respond to these new demands and adjust to new business scenarios, moving to a hyperscaler environment can be an option to set up the technical infrastructure swiftly. Capacities can be adjusted with greater ease and more flexibility in order to meet the needs of tightening budget restrictions.

With the assistance of the platform design support service, customers can leverage a set of different activities to help them define and record a holistic technical architecture and infrastructure 鈥� ideally captured in a technical design document. This approach offers the insight, visibility, and tools needed to validate the technical architecture and sizing projection, identify open items, and propose mitigation activities.

Evolving on a Trajectory to Continuous Readiness

Staying relevant in a time where everything can change at a moment鈥檚 notice is not something that can be achieved overnight or merely by adopting the 鈥渞ight鈥� technology. It requires a commitment to leading and embracing change across people, cultures, and processes as new challenges emerge and untapped competitive advantages are revealed.

麻豆原创 Value Assurance is available anytime and anywhere 鈥� giving customers the supportive foundation they need to navigate today鈥檚 disruption and plan for tomorrow.

Their goal is to develop a framework for the secure use of cloud-based 麻豆原创 services that satisfies the high regulatory requirements of the financial sector. Deutsche B枚rse is one of the first financial companies to migrate its business processes from on-premise solutions to the latest generation of 麻豆原创 business software and, where possible, cloud solutions from 麻豆原创.

In addition to the regulatory requirements, the project also has to meet high technical standards. Deutsche B枚rse has long used the classic 麻豆原创 Business Suite applications, such as the ERP system for financial accounting and controlling. Many more core business processes will be migrating to 麻豆原创鈥檚 cloud offerings in future, including solutions for customer relationship management, human capital management, procurement, temp work and business travel management. At the same time, the company is switching over from the legacy 麻豆原创 core system to the powerful ERP solution 麻豆原创 S/4HANA and will use the 麻豆原创 BW/4HANA data warehouse solution for reporting in future.

The new IT architecture will not only enable Deutsche B枚rse to react more flexibly to changes on financial markets and develop innovations in the cloud more quickly; the real-time solution and single set of data will make all processes much simpler and more efficient. What鈥檚 more, Deutsche B枚rse is establishing itself as a pioneer for other companies in the financial sector. The new framework is being developed in close consultation with the supervisory authorities and can serve as a template for other financial institutions in their digital transformation to the cloud.

鈥淒eutsche B枚rse and 麻豆原创 are each contributing their industry-specific expertise to this partnership, paving the way toward digitalization,鈥� said Luka Mucic, chief financial officer and member of the Executive Board of 麻豆原创 SE. 鈥淧owerful yet flexible IT is the key to meeting the growing demands in the highly regulated financial sector 鈥� now and especially in the future.鈥�

The new infrastructure will continue to support Deutsche B枚rse鈥檚 strategic focus on new technologies in future. The cloud solution will enable the company to resolutely pursue the use of Big Data analytics, blockchain and machine learning functions, among others.

Relational databases on premise had been the backbone of enterprise systems, and some questioned whether the in-memory approach could really work when applied enterprise-wide to a company鈥檚 data assets. At that time, relational data lakes and the cloud were mostly a dream of the future.

I was very fortunate to gather customer feedback on 麻豆原创 HANA early on. While I was working on my PhD on new applications optimized for in-memory databases at the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI), I had the opportunity to present one of the first 麻豆原创 HANA demos, a dunning app, developed at the HPI for 麻豆原创PHIRE in 2010. Just as it continues to be today, customer feedback was invaluable and helped us a lot in those early days.

Fast forward 10 years, and more than 32,000 customers are now benefiting from what has become the engine of the Intelligent Enterprise. Analysts have also consistently confirmed 麻豆原创鈥檚 database strategy: In 2019 麻豆原创 was positioned as a leader for the seventh consecutive year in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Management Solutions for Analytics, and most recently was rated as a leader in the Forrester Wave for Data Management for Analytics.

The “complete fantasy” of 麻豆原创 HANA turned out to be a reality that severely disrupted the database market. And with its latest innovation — — 麻豆原创 HANA has become a fully fledged cloud solution that offers all the innovative capabilities that are unique to 麻豆原创 HANA, as a cloud service.

As 麻豆原创 Supervisory Board Chairman and 麻豆原创 Co-Founder Hasso Plattner , an in-memory database paved the way to do things that had previously been considered impossible.

The core features of 麻豆原创 HANA — its ability to process both analytical and transactional workloads, remove aggregates and secondary data structures, and harness the performance of in-memory computing — led Hasso to predict not just a revolution in the database market, but in applications too.

The architecture of 麻豆原创 HANA paved the way for an entirely new approach to building solutions.

Lasting Impact

In 2012, 麻豆原创 Business Warehouse was the first 麻豆原创 product to benefit from the in-memory performance, soon followed by an 麻豆原创 HANA-optimized 麻豆原创 Business Suite at the beginning of 2013. In 2015, 麻豆原创 launched the next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) system 麻豆原创 S/4HANA. Specifically designed to take full advantage of the benefits offered by 麻豆原创 HANA, 麻豆原创 S/4HANA enables much faster business processes, simplified data models, and the ability to analyze transactional data in real time.

The following year, 麻豆原创 BW/4HANA was launched and since then the number of products powered by 麻豆原创 HANA has continued to grow. The database now underpins , including 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors, 麻豆原创 Customer Experience, and 麻豆原创 Ariba solutions.

Since it completed the migration to 麻豆原创 HANA, 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions have been able to hit a peak of 1 billion cloud transactions per day. 麻豆原创 Customer Experience solutions can import data 65-times faster than legacy databases. 麻豆原创 HANA, with its column orientation, allows for higher data compression ratios and helps to minimize data footprints. For example, the 麻豆原创 Customer Experience team achieved compression rates of up to 10-times with 麻豆原创 Sales Cloud. By moving to 麻豆原创 HANA, the 麻豆原创 Ariba team has been able to increase its key measure of overall cloud health number by 18 points (on a 100-point absolute scale) across the board.

麻豆原创 HANA also provides a development framework to build custom data-driven applications that use, for example, predictive analytics, data anonymization, and spatial services in real time, in the cloud, and on premise. The many 麻豆原创 Innovation Award entries submitted every year by our customers and partners offer some great examples.

For instance, this year鈥檚 winner in the Technology Disruptor category: Independent Big Data consultancy and 麻豆原创 partner Clariba created an app called “act路in | football.” This mobile-enabled sports performance repository and application uses in-memory 麻豆原创 HANA technology in the cloud — . The app brings together a variety of structured and unstructured data from numerous sources, including game-day statistics, sensors, medical history records, scouting reports, and on-pitch cameras. The result is a solution that gives players, coaches, and managers real-time performance feedback that enables them to take action, maximize impact, and win on the field.

Another customer that has benefited is , one of Europe鈥檚 largest university hospitals, renowned for its leadership in healthcare and research. When the hospital decided to expand the scope of its TBase database for digital patient records to other departments, it needed a robust solution to bring together disparate databases and meet the needs of the different specialist areas, while still guaranteeing the highest standards in patient data security.

Thanks to 麻豆原创 HANA, clinicians and researchers at 颁丑补谤颈迟茅 now work on a single shared, integrated, and much faster platform. According to 颁丑补谤颈迟茅 CIO Martin Peuker, 鈥淥ur data must be easy to capture, secure, and accessible for doctors, nurses, and patients. For the first time, this is now possible on our 麻豆原创 HANA platform with our developed solution, TBase@颁丑补谤颈迟茅.鈥�

Dawn of a New 麻豆原创 HANA Era in the Cloud

In the decade since 麻豆原创 HANA was first introduced, we have seen an explosion in the amount of data produced, the impact of digitalization, and the growth of cloud computing. Research firm IDC predicts that .

For the vast majority of our customers, the data they need to access to understand their business is no longer contained within the four walls of the enterprise. It is generated by everything from smart devices to social media. And while companies are really excited about the possibilities of digitalization and all this data, they are also struggling to exploit its full potential. Even though many organizations have access to petabytes of data, the majority can only use terabytes鈥� worth of information at most. They experience what we call a 鈥渄ata swamp.鈥�

Companies are struggling to manage their data value chain and to extract value from it. This includes the access to the data, the storage of data, its quality and consistency, as well as how it is used and consumed. In response, we have made it our mission to establish a new approach to database and data management. Our goal is to enable our customers to get the maximum value out of the data available to them. To do that, we鈥檙e taking the brilliance of 麻豆原创 HANA — the same speed, the same simplicity, and the same convenience — and transitioning it into this new context.

Last year, we announced the . It is not a new product, but a set of integrated solutions that accelerate the transformation of data into business value. It includes 麻豆原创 HANA and the most recent milestone in the evolution of 麻豆原创’s proud database history: . The Business Technology Platform also encompasses , , , and the 麻豆原创 portfolio of .

麻豆原创 HANA Cloud deals with any type of data, regardless of whether it is big or small, structured or unstructured. It provides one technology to store and process data at scale. Working with any data means going beyond main memory, so with 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud, we have a disk option, a data lake option, and it integrates directly with remote object stores — for example, from cloud infrastructure providers.

While the advantages of cloud computing are indisputable, we also recognize that our customers are at different stages of their digital transformation journeys. That鈥檚 why we have designed 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud to extend on-premise landscapes to the cloud while enabling our customers to continue to benefit from their existing investments and transition at their own pace. 麻豆原创 Data Warehouse Cloud is, for example, already running on 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud.

Ultimately, the combination of advanced virtualization capabilities and flexible data storage and process options provides companies with a single gateway to all their data. Once again, 麻豆原创 HANA is set to revolutionize the way organizations work by helping them understand their business better than ever before. Looking back on what has already been achieved in its first decade, we鈥檙e very excited to see the innovation that this next step in the 麻豆原创 HANA journey will fuel.

麻豆原创 Data Management for Analytics Portfolio Transforms the Patient Care Experience 听

HARTMANN GROUP, a global distributor of medical supplies, recently implemented 麻豆原创 solutions from the data management for analytics portfolio into its architecture to help hospitals zero-in on patient care. HARTMANN required a data management for analytics environment they knew they could trust that could handle significant data volume and variety, along with the responsibility of enabling physicians to help patients get back to good health quickly. 听听

鈥淐urrently, over 60 percent of medical supply orders are processed manually via phone and fax on a daily basis,” said Sinanudin Omerhodzic, CIO of Paul Hartmann AG. “There is no reason that physicians and healthcare professionals should be spending time on this function, when they can be treating patients and saving lives. With the help of 麻豆原创鈥檚 comprehensive data management, analytics, artificial intelligence, and IoT solutions, HARTMANN now has a trusted single source of data that has enabled us to already experience an improvement of service for our customers — and ultimately our customers鈥� patients.听 麻豆原创 was the ideal choice to lead our digital transformation and prepare us for continuous innovation to better serve the healthcare industry.鈥�听

Tight integration within all these solutions means that innovation at any stage of the data value chain — from data management, quality, storage, and its consumption in analytics — ultimately brings more value to the customer.

The recognition further validates for us that 麻豆原创 is in a unique position to bring data and analytics closer together than ever before, enabling and empowering our customers to realize the full potential of their data. 听
