More orga­ni­za­tions are begin­ning to imple­ment SAP S/4HANA, espe­cial­ly now that busi­ness trans­for­ma­tion is a must to not only sur­vive, but to thrive in this new land­scape. As busi­ness and IT lead­ers look for best prac­tices to fol­low, SAP is mak­ing it eas­i­er to stan­dard­ize and scale these projects. Intro­duced in 2017, SAP Mod­el Com­pa­ny pro­vides pre­con­fig­ured end-to-end process­es, busi­ness con­tent, and accel­er­a­tors for orga­ni­za­tions look­ing to imple­ment SAP S/4HANA.

ASUG sat down with the authors of ​“Intro­duc­ing SAP Mod­el Com­pa­ny for SAP S/4HANA” from SAP Press to hear how SAP Mod­el Com­pa­ny can help cus­tomers reduce the cost, risk, and time asso­ci­at­ed with an SAP S/4HANA imple­men­ta­tion. Dr. Babu Joseph and Sud­hakar Kovuri, both prin­ci­pal con­sul­tants for SAP, walked us through the main top­ics with­in the SAP Press E‑Bite, includ­ing imple­men­ta­tion, deploy­ment options, ser­vices, and the key val­ue the solu­tion brings. 

Sharon: What is SAP Mod­el Company? 

Babu: SAP Mod­el Com­pa­ny is a prepack­aged, ready-to-use, end-to-end ref­er­ence solu­tion. It is tai­lored to a spe­cif­ic indus­try or a line of busi­ness, and it is made up of state-of-the-art appli­ca­tions and best prac­tices. SAP Mod­el Com­pa­ny was designed based on infor­ma­tion gath­ered from thou­sands of ERP imple­men­ta­tions over the past 50 years.
