35. Your 3 Steps to S/4HANA
The answer? Yes, if there’s a need to…

• Cleanse the data before reporting
• Harmonize and transform the data before reporting
• Take snapshots to ”freeze” the data
• Keep historical data
• Perform long term trend analysis
• Perform complex calculations beyond +-*/
• Have planning capabilities
36. Your 3 Steps to S/4HANA
How to proceed?
• Use S/4 HANA Analytics for requirements that are suitable for
real-time operational data.
• BW is still fully valid and it’s there if you need it
• BW is constantly evolving towards native HANA direction
• Use a hybrid approach where necessary
• Multiple different mixed scenarios are possible
