SAP NETWEAVER VS S/4HANA

Current New
SAP NetWeaver Transition

• SAP‘s current technology foundation • Successor of SAP Business Suite

(used by the majority of their customers)
• Still pretty new: Has been announced
• Solutions and functions for all industries, February 2015
(that are supported by SAP)
• Currently only solutions and functions
• Still fully supported up until at least 2025 for few industries

• Customers have a database choice: • Only runs on SAP HANA: No support

Runs on SAP HANA, SQL Server, SAP for traditional databases announced
ASE (Sybase), DB2, Oracle, maxDB
• SAP recommends adding „Simple
• SAP sells smooth transition to S/4HANA Scenarios“ (S/4HANA scenarios) to
by first migrating Netweaver to HANA Netweaver on HANA installations
(still only an intermediate step) (counting as S/4HANA installation).
Counting 3.500+ customers already

 “At Alegri, we needed a cost-efficient and agile infrastructure to deploy SAP S/4HANA
Finance. With Azure, we managed to provision the development and production systems in
just 2 months and run it at a 30% reduction in cost.”
Hinrich Mielke, Director SAP

“SAP HANA on Microsoft Azure met our immediate goal of finding a path out of the
datacenter, which helped decrease costs and increase reliability. Looking forward, the platform
provides the added benefit of allowing us to harness all of the power of PaaS.“
Richard Cammish, CIO

“SAP HANA on Microsoft Azure gives us extraordinary IT benefits, and provides the flexibility
we desire in order for Nortek to grow. Plus, overall performance was similar or better than our
on-premises SAP Business Suite on SAP HANA integrated with our SAP Supply Chain
Management (SCM) solution.“
Tom Holzem, VP of Information Technology

“The Microsoft Azure platform provides us the scalability, security and level of services
needed to confidently run our most demanding SAP HANA and Big Data applications. We
are excited to be an early adopter of running SAP HANA on Microsoft Azure since it is an
important capability in helping us realize our vision for The Connected Enterprise and
advanced data analytics.”
Sujeet Chand, Senior VP and CTO
