Goals for S/4 HANA
n One unified semantic model, which describes business content.
n Uniform data access layer (incl. metadata for Fiori UI and BI
Tools), platform independent (ABAP Platform and HCP),
not proprietary (SQL)
Non-disruptive and seamless integration into the ABAP stack
bringing innovation to our installed base.
n Seamless integration of transactional and analytical Uis in Fiori.
n Simple and model-driven approach for Customers and SAP to
adapt and extend our solutions.
n One approach to handle User Roles and Authorizations. (Stands
as example for all other cross functions…)
n Planning and analytics follow the same approach.
