Building the Business Case for SAP HANA

Before a company can make the transition to SAP HANA, the business value must be demonstrated to leadership. Business leadership is trying to understand the HANA journey.

Today’s environment is most likely on-premises. Companies are trying to decide between new implementation, conversion, and a hybrid approach.

Demonstrating business case needs doesn’t just involve providing numbers. The business case articulates what you have, how you use it, and what needs to change. These needs should be revisited frequently. Understanding how to get there will change, and the cost will change. Leadership will want to know about the business impact of cost estimates for the move to SAP HANA and the potential benefits.

The Process of Building the Business Case

Process change is a big concern for leadership. Chief executives want justification for this significant effort and the corresponding expenses. Your company will need to document key requirements. Determine how much change you are willing to put up with and what the benefits will be.

SAP Business Scenario Recommendations Report (BSR): SAP will map old business processes to the replacement in SAP HANA.

Technical Assessment: The SAP upgrade manager, readiness report, and third-party assessment will correlate the impact. This process will help you understand how much customization, testing, and training will be necessary.

Assemble the Business Case: Assemble estimates into a real business case that aligns the findings of the BSR and Technical Assessment to the requirements.

SAP HANA benefits include:

  • Analytics for a near real-time decision-making process
  • Integrations through database simplification for faster and easier integration to third-party partners and better customer support
  • Simplification through fewer and more simplified tables than ECC so it is easier to access data
  • Performance through an in-memory database that decreases run times

The BSR should be run against a particular release of SAP HANA. At the end of 2020, the 2009 release will need a new BSR because of deprecation. For the BSR, you submit details from your system to SAP, and it comes back with which transactions will not be available in the next couple of versions.

The Technical Assessment will determine what has been deprecated, code changes, and timelines around data. You don’t want to lose transactional and master data. Details are extracted from your system and compared to S/4HANA Versions. Clear Tech leverages the SAP Readiness Check, Live Compare, and other products. You need to understand what point you want to get to and the magnitude of training and deprecation needed to get there.

The Functional Inventory includes reports, business design documents, and training material. The Technical Inventory includes landscape, security, BC/DR documents, and code and customization documents. Engaging with IT allows the company to find where it can make changes to achieve lower TCO. If infrastructure needs to be resized, you will experience an outage. This is not a concern with IBM Power. Infrastructure includes design, preferences, and directional documents.

You need to combine the findings from the BSR, Assessment, and Infrastructure along with the Inventories to understand your requirements. The Business Case findings are based on best-case implementation, whether Brownfield, Greenfield, or Bluefield.

Subjective vs. Objective

Developing a business case can be difficult because SAP ECC has been implemented and changed over time. Understanding everything requires many people with diverse roles or you can assemble the facts from assessments.

Clients often say their system is highly customized with thousands of objects. They need to determine what they really use, what SAP really provides, what they really know, and what is really lost. This process separates reality from emotion. It may turn out there is one transaction that is used once or twice a year that is holding the whole project up.

Balance

To achieve balance, understand:

1) What business functions you use today

2) What S/4HANA functions exist, augment, and replace what you use

3) Impact of the changes

Gain information, not social opinions, to achieve balance between facts and opinion.

Protection

One of the challenges is quantifying the amount of change. S/4HANA is not compliant with current databases, so the quantity of change looks monumental. You need to quantify how much code really needs to be written.

Quantify change, impact, cost estimates, the impact of customization, landscape changes, and the federated landscape impact, as many applications bring data into SAP HANA. You may have 2000 objects but only use 25%. Of the 25%, you may only use 20% month-to-month. Develop a single report of the “potentials.”

Guide

You need to have a single business impact and technical impact sheet for discussion. Develop a real estimation model based on factual findings for discussion. Without documenting facts, all these discussions become emotional. As humans, we are resistant to change and wait until the last second.

Focus

The BSR provided by SAP will include estimations of business benefits, changes for elimination of customization by S/4HANA features, and process improvements. You want to know how much improvement to expect. The numbers may not be accurate, but they are guidelines.

Technical Assessment

Only 25% of custom objects are needed by most clients. A Technical Assessment will identify line-by-line changes. This is a necessity for understanding the impact of the selected approach. How much of your customization are you really dependent on? When you realize only 25% of 3000 objects are needed, it changes your perception.

Testing Impact

You want to know the total number of testing hours by area. Focus on the functional level.

Functional Transaction Impacts

You want to know what’s been deprecated, merged, and updated. Merged transactions are important in S/4HANA. They will all simplify and give savings. SAP has moved transactions from financial to other areas and renamed them.

All these factors should be combined into a single document to estimate the cost and impact of the overall project.

Licensing Models

Estimating appropriate license costs requires understanding the licensing models. SAP has 4 licensing models:

Option One: The Standard Edition includes most database, integration, and application services.

Option Two: The Enterprise Option extends the Standard Edition with advanced analytics, predictive analytics, big data, and replication. The key for most companies is replication.

Option Three: The Express Edition is a free license version that does not include HA/DR, multi-tier storage, and dynamic tiering.

Option Four: The Runtime Edition is a special version for use with SAP applications.

Most companies end up with the enterprise option. Option 3 and 4 are seldom chosen by customers.

Implementation Approaches

Are all implementation approaches equal? The type of approach will affect business impact and depends on business drivers.

Greenfield: The Greenfield approach is for customers who want to take advantage of S/4HANA to re-engineer their processes and implement a brand-new solution, reducing the level of customization, knowing that they will also lose their historical data.

Brownfield: The Brownfield approach is for customers who want to leverage existing solution, save historical data, and rapidly convert to S/4HANA. This approach impacts business users the least. Over a period of time, you will want to upgrade and move into a hybrid approach.

Bluefield: The Bluefield approach is a hybrid approach that is somewhere between Greenfield and Brownfield. This approach not only saves the value of the existing solution but also gives more flexibility for the definition of the go-live phase, allowing separate go lives for different company codes and for system downtime optimization.

Keep calm and migrate to S/4HANA with Brownfield, putting in place a foundation to adopt innovation at your pace.

Challenging Preconceived Notions

Some companies say that they’ve looked at S/4HANA and can see that it’s not feature-complete. Customers are examining S/4HANA features based on their understanding. However, some functions were aligned with other business processes and renamed.

Ask what functions you use and how frequently. How much testing are you going to need for something you don’t really use? Is your customization included but renamed so you can’t recognize it? Has the use case for your industry determined a best practice that is different? Based on need and use, is this a first-order process or a fourth-order process?

It’s imperative that businesses understand the value brought by the SAP BSR, which identifies required realignment and remapping of business functions. You can run the BSR every time there is a new release and even look ahead to future releases and run a BSR.

The real issue is not the cost of implementation or the licensing for the software. It’s the change to the business and how it impacts the business case ROI due to emotion. Determine what you really use, the business tier for frequency of use, and how things really map to S/4HANA.

Internal discussions can get lost without assessments, documents, and factual detail about your environment. With a bit of diligence, you may find that S/4 doesn’t have a huge impact when a brownfield approach is chosen. At Clear Technologies, we need to be your independent representative. We are knowledgeable about the process and can come up with a recommended approach.

Third-Party Tool Challenge

Are all tools created equal? A maintenance planner may declare that some of your third-party tools are not HANA compliant. Until recently, removing third-party tools was neither possible nor necessary. This may be a brute force effort.

Most third-party providers have HANA-specific versions. These tools are release-specific. Work with the vendor to make sure it is version compliant. Prod the vendor to get the product updated.

Developing a Well-Constructed Business Case

Business leadership can understand the HANA journey through a well-constructed business case. Understanding what S/4HANA provides is a release-by-release effort.

SAP has provided the tools to ascertain the hidden costs. Your selected implementation approach has an impact on the cost and duration of the project. S/4HANA has matured significantly since version 1511. Third-party tools and applications can pose a threat to success.

S/4HANA is going to have a different value for every business. Your company needs to determine the requirements to develop the business case. Clear Tech can help you do this and start a successful SAP HANA journey.

Benefits of Functional & Technical Assessments for SAP HANA

The SAP HANA journey is made up of an assortment of parts. It’s like breaking out the instructions and trying to put a toy together for Christmas.

You have a choice of SAP and third-party tools to help you understand your options. Assembling the details and distilling facts is something that the business and IT must perform together. SAP tools are an integral component of the journey, whether before getting started or during implementation and runtime.

You need the data to tell you which approach to implementation to take: Greenfield, Brownfield, or Bluefield. Are you going for a new implementation, conversion, or hybrid approach? You also have options of where to host: on-premises, public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid.

A Technical Assessment produces data that drives the implementation while deriving the value of SAP HANA. Details are extracted from your system and compared to S/4HANA version. The Technical Assessment Report is a high-level assessment with indications that highlight the business impact of SAP HANA implementation.

What Are Assessments?

It’s important to realize that every time SAP releases a new version, it changes these reports and changes your migration. The business case is made up by leveraging the details in the Business Scenario Recommendations Report (BSR), Technical Assessment, and Infrastructure Design, as well as Change Impact from business leaders.

Involve the right people early on. The functional side is the business, and the technical side needs to reach out to business.

Understand what you have and what needs to be customized through T-code changes. How does remediation of the code affect testing cycles? What is the business process impact and the level of effort for testing and code?

What is the usage frequency, history, and impact? Usage history helps to uncover the value of the customization. A value assessment may uncover that a transaction isn’t necessary for customization. Assessments remove fear and uncertainty.

Preparation is the key. Everything is for naught without preparation.

Preconceived Notion

Clients say SAP HANA is not feature-complete. However, when you talk to them about it, they have an older BSR that is not relevant, since the solution has matured over time. The business impact needs to be examined annually or release-by-release. When you run the BSR, tell the accounting executive that you are not ready to move to SAP HANA for a year or so.

Available Tools and Technologies

Details for a Technical Assessment are extracted from your system, so today, if you’re running a collector that is only maintaining data over 60 to 90 days, it would be prudent to open the collector parameters to grab one-year worth of info and store for a length of time.

This info is very valuable. All third-party tools depend on this information that includes code, configuration, role authority, master data changes, and landscape inconsistencies.

For Technical and Business Process Analysis, there are third-party tools, including Panaya, Solution Manager, Gekkobrain, and LiveCompare. You can perform assessments, such as business change transaction, impact analysis of change usage, and BP Impact analysis, with any of these tools.

Every tool requires distillation of information on changes and impact. To do this, you can put the report into Excel and cut it into graphs. Distillation involves grouping T-code according to business process area.

Development: LiveCompare and Gekkobrain compete with each other for quickness of process.

Testing: Panaya, Gekkobrain, and LiveCompare are at the top for test planning and automation. Solution Manager is a free solution that works well across these but requires more distillation.

Production: LiveCompare gives the best assessment for release validation and consideration of change in maturity level.

Telling a Visual Story

Telling a visual story benefits all stakeholders and helps with credibility. Graphs can show the percentage of system usage and custom code history. Using graphs, you can evaluate information and see where impacts are going to be felt. This information is about 98% accurate, which is good out of thousands of transactions. When imported into production, you can see maturation and change.

How much custom activity do you have vs. standard activity in SAP? Customers believe they are so custom that they will never get to S/4HANA. They may have custom transitions but never use most of them. You can see how many customizations are impacted and analyze the impact for the chosen approach to deployment.

Code impact Based on S/4HANA Selected Target

Companies say that they have too much custom code. Clear Technologies provides a high-level description of Code Impact. Our primary tool is capable of delivering the line-by-line changes necessary. Our secondary tool is capable of auto-remediation of most of the identified code. A customer may choose a version based on the impact and the level of functionality that can be achieved.

SAP Standard provided tools are SPDD and SPAU that identify cases that will require manual intervention and examination. SPDD is a data dictionary tool and SPAU is for programs and function modules. These are the best tools for this analysis.

Customers should recognize how much effort it is to manually determine, fix, and embrace necessary changes. The sooner you can address this and understand the modification workbench, the better off you will be.

Testing

Testing is the long pole in the tent because everybody hates testing. Testing will uncover everything they did wrong, and people will fight over who is responsible.

Testing covers code changes, configuration changes, role and authorization changes, and master data changes. Screen changes are covered by SPAU. It may not remember custom fields and won’t know what to do with them.

There may be inconsistencies across the landscape. Files that are kept on the transports include libraries that may get scrambled. Tools will help to identify these inconsistencies, as well as poorly defined and documented requirements. Training documents should be current so you can use them to check.

Many companies have too many cooks in the kitchen. They keep hiring groups, but no one hands off the information.

Where will you find defects in SAP? They may be everywhere, but you can use the tool to expose these things ahead of time.

SAP Release Considerations

SAP S/4 has a 4-year support cycle. 1511 was released in 2015 and runs out of support soon, so those customers are looking for an upgrade.

The upgrade to S/4HANA is nothing like the upgrade for ECC. There is no downtime, just a lot of reading and following instructions. There is a dual support package. Feature packets are functional changes. You don’t need to upgrade to every feature pack.

The upgrade manager gives detailed input so you can determine whether to apply a certain function set. Tools will help you get through the upgrade process.

Workshop Objectives

Workshops help you blend technology and methodology to achieve world-class efficiencies. You should know the cost reductions before implementation.

Impact Analysis: Know the details of change. Reduction of test scope, based on technical changes, saves significant resources. Enable faster changes from business requirements by understanding the impact of what must be tested.

Test Scope and Analysis: Achieve efficient testing based on the impact of changes. Develop test coverage based on changes.

Know where the custom code can be retired and made more efficient. Identify areas for code efficiency and where code can be removed. Understand what you don’t know.

See the impact to the business process. A global template is consistently implemented across regions. The dev team and business team know the impact of change.

Governance: Reach clarity of role conflicts. Quickly see the impact of SAP role changes. Ensure everyone is cooperative in their roles.

Putting It All Together

The Technical Assessment is a critical component of your business case. You end up with a business case when you combine technical and functional assessments. Understanding the technical details is necessary to complete planning the move to S/4HANA.

Third-party tools can facilitate the move. They have different strengths, so consider those when choosing one. There is also a cost involved. SAP listened to these concerns and provided their own tools.

Assessments and planning are ongoing events and should be visited upon new SAP releases to ascertain the impacts of product improvements to S/4HANA.

Clear Tech wants to be your partner. We do this by offering workshops and assessments, including those covering SAP HANA Readiness, preparing BSRs, Technical Assessments, deployment options, and infrastructure optimization. Workshops can go more in depth with 1-to-2-day engagements. We encourage you to bring the stakeholders in. We’re an infrastructure practice, so we are not trying to compete with current SIS or SAP consultants.

SAP HANA Implementation Approach Options

Understanding the SAP HANA implementation approach options will help your company avoid costly mistakes. Thoroughly evaluating the different options available will help your company make informed business decisions during each phase.

Part of building a business case for SAP HANA is deciding on an implementation approach. There are 3 options to explore so you can understand them and make the right choice.

Key considerations in choosing an implementation option include: who should determine the approach, the impacts to the business and to IT of selecting one approach over another, the critical differences between approaches, and what SAP says about the selection process.

SAP Big Picture

Traditional SAP ECC customers are asking how they can get to SAP HANA. SAP HANA is the platform. HANA is the database, and S/4 is the generation.

There are typically 3 ways to get to S/4HANA: new implementation, conversion, and a hybrid approach that combines the 2.

Once you get through implementation, you’re going to be faced with where it is going to be hosted: in the public, private, or hybrid cloud. That decision can be just as important because that is the foundation for how the solution is going to run. Clear Tech can help you choose the optimal hosting solution.

Once you move to S/4HANA, it’s going to run on Linux with an Intel or IBM server. The difference between Intel and Power is stark. Intel has a lot of limitations. Power is inherently reliable and flexible.

Business Case

A key part of the business case has to do with your implementation costs and your impact estimates. Estimated benefits will be dictated against a particular approach. There is a difference in cost and scope between Greenfield and Brownfield.

The Business Scenario Recommendations Report (BSR) articulates what is available, what is not, and how it impacts your business. The BSR largely anticipates a Greenfield approach. Clear Tech is independent of the SI, so we will help you make a decision without being influenced by the fact that a Greenfield is a much bigger project for an SI.

It benefits you to run a Technical Assessment. There are a number of tools for running an assessment and they present the details differently. It’s important to figure out which of the tools is the best for your needs. The Technical Assessment gives information on what code needs to change, the impact, and the level of customization needed.

Combine findings of the BSR and Technical Assessment, as well as change impact from business leaders, and a picture will start to emerge.

Importance of the Approach

The approach should be a business decision. The business should define and articulate the need. IT should put forth impacts aligned to the defined process. There has to be a close relationship between IT and the business. A small segment of the business may decry the move to SAP HANA and the need to re-implement and redo everything.

The strategic plan will include process drivers. Why are you choosing one approach over another, and what are the business impacts? Have these decisions been included in the documented requirements? Who owns the documented requirements? They are owned by whoever has the project management role. Not documenting this is a failure on the business side.

ERP systems are built to facilitate and enable business growth, not IT control.

Defining Questions

The first step in choosing an approach is building requirements. To do so, you need to ask some questions:

  • Does your system meet your current and defined future business needs?
  • Are you sensitive to change and the associated costs?
  • Do your current processes meet business and compliance needs?
  • Do you need legacy data for business use?
  • Do you have significant costs for maintaining customization?
  • Do your processes align closely to accepted industry practices?
  • Is your current ECC system ready to move to S/4HANA?

Are all the Approaches Created Equal?

One common thread that runs through all the approaches is that, when you are finished, your SAP system will continue to drive change.

Bluefield Approach is covered first because Clear Tech has never known an implementation that hasn’t eventually gone through change. Even if you started as a Greenfield, you will move to a hybrid approach because the decision to go Greenfield is often colored by emotion. Bluefield is somewhere between the Greenfield and Brownfield approaches. It saves the value of the existing solution but gives more flexibility for the definition of the go-live phase, reducing the downtime needed.

Greenfield Approach is for customers that want to take advantage of S/4HANA to re-engineer their processes and implement a brand-new solution, reducing the level of customization while realizing that they will also lose their historical transaction and master data. This data will be recaptured through daily processes. There is a data migration tool, but it adds cost to your plan.

Brownfield Approach is a migration. It populates the tables with data from your existing systems. This is an approach for customers that want to leverage their existing solution, save their historical data, and rapidly convert to S/4HANA. It minimizes testing. The Brownfield approach will affect business users the least. It puts a foundation in place to adopt innovation at your pace.

Greenfield Is a Revolution

Greenfield is a new implementation. As such, it is the most disruptive approach. It consumes the largest amount of business time. The business must be integrated, and while it is being integrated, the business team can’t do its job.

Greenfield also causes the largest loss of legacy data within the SAP landscape. You can try to move your own data using the data migration tool, but this approach is expensive.

Essentially, your company is starting over. Is your SAP system that bad? Are you out of compliance?

Brownfield Is an Evolution

Brownfield is a migration, so it is more transitional. This approach causes the least amount of disruption. The system is pretty much the same as it was.

Brownfield consumes the smallest amount of business time. You’re not re-engineering your processes, except there will be deprecation with merged transactions. Those must be remediated. Clear Tech can walk you through this.

There is minimal loss of legacy data within the SAP landscape. The Brownfield approach is the least expensive because it has minimal impact. Your company moves what fits into the new S/4HANA environment.

Bluefield Is Managed Evolution

There are 2 ways to take a Bluefield approach. One is hybrid with BPR. This approach is a migration/transition with a Selective Process rework. This approach involves some disruption based on the need. Business time requirements vary. There is some loss of legacy data within the SAP landscape. The cost of this approach could be extensive and close to that of the Greenfield approach. Your company moves what fits into the new S/4HANA redesign processes that improve efficiency or that cost money to maintain customization.

The second — and preferable — way is hybrid phased. This Bluefield implementation begins with a Brownfield approach and goes through a phase 2 redesign of selected business processes. The resource time impact is controlled as is strategic spend. Your company is able to retain legacy data and functionality. Business benefits are quickly realized.

Comparing Paths to SAP S/4HANA

Key questions influence your choice of transition scenario.

Do you want to keep your solution enhancements or your transaction data history? When you ask this question, people get emotional. If yes, you are heading toward Brownfield. If no, you are heading toward a new implementation.

Does your system fulfill all conversion prerequisites? If yes, take a Brownfield approach. Be sure to take care of these prerequisites because, if you don’t, you’re heading for a Greenfield.

Do you need a phased business roll-out? If yes, you need a Greenfield. You’re probably not using ECC much. If no, you can do a migration.

Do you need a renewal of your complete ERP solution? Is it so bad that the IRS is breathing down your neck? Do you need to close your books down numerous times? If yes, then you need to choose Greenfield.

How do you perceive your current system? If you perceive it as an innovation blocker, go Greenfield. If you perceive it as a key asset, choose Brownfield. This perception depends on who you ask. Business perceives it as a key asset, while IT thinks things can be done better.

A Preconceived Notion

Customers think that S/4HANA isn’t feature-complete. They need to consider what version they are looking at. Each time a release happens, you need to rerun the BSR. New features are available and features are renamed and moved to different areas of SAP.

Most customers are only using 25% of their customizations. They need to consider the impact of their testing and how the Brownfield approach requires much less testing than Greenfield.

When deciding on an approach, start considering what needs to be deprecated and customized. Which use cases in your industry require you to do things a certain way and how much testing needs to take place?

S/4HANA Journey

Stage 0: Go through the Business Case. Value crowd insights. It won’t help to have one member of the business advocating for the entire business. You want to get users from each business process area to talk about their experiences. This discussion should be driven by the business or hardware vendor but never the SI.

Stage 1: Move to Unicode. Look at what breaks, how to fix it, and what to test. Enable a new GL. It is simpler to do this before conversion.

Stage 2: ECC6 EMP7 Upgrade. Look at what would break, how to fix it, what to test, and functional testing.

Stage 3: Suite on HANA (SoH). Today, customers shouldn’t go to SoH, because there are no savings as far as a migration. Save the money and put it toward the predecessors.

Stage 4: Implement S/4HANA Simple Finance (sFIN). Take baby steps to get ready for S/4HANA. Many of these steps are not affected by your approach and do not affect your approach.

Key Takeaways

The selection of the implementation approach should be a business decision and should be made by those who face customers.

The impact of the approach is often underestimated. Impacts include transactional data loss, master data loss, extra cost for data migration, and effect on customers when information is left behind.

The 3 approaches are very different. SAP has provided options within the process to assist you in moving safely. Clear Tech understands that the system keeps changing, so a Greenfield approach may not provide much value.

3 Steps to Setting up Your SAP HANA Journey

Migrating to SAP HANA is a big step. Migrations are complex processes that can interrupt production and create the risk of losing data. Many companies have put off planning for their SAP HANA migration because of the pandemic. PricewaterhouseCoopers found that only 25% of companies surveyed have already migrated to S/4HANA. However, the longer such a major project is delayed, the greater the chance for error.

Preparation is the key to making a successful move to the latest generation of SAP HANA technology, if that is the right path for your company. To prepare for your SAP HANA journey, there are 3 steps you can take: building a business case, performing a technical assessment, and choosing an approach to implementation.

Here’s an overview of the 3 steps to laying the groundwork for SAP HANA migration:

Step 1: Building a Business Case

Before your company moves to SAP HANA, you need to convince business leadership that the move is a good idea. Company leadership wants to understand what the impact of the move will be on the business, what the related costs will be, and how it will benefit the business. Leadership needs to know that all the changes to processes, time, and expense are worth it.

Many organizations have an inflated view of the level of customization they need and mistakenly believe that S/4HANA is functionally incomplete. An SAP Business Scenario Recommendations Report (BSR) will give a more accurate picture of how current business processes map onto the new version of SAP HANA. By combining the findings of the BSR with a Technical Assessment, you can show business leaders how much customization, testing, and training is really necessary to make the transition.

Step 2: Performing a Technical Assessment

Along with the BSR, a Technical Assessment is an important way to prepare for SAP HANA migration. The Technical Assessment determines what customizations your company has and what T-code really needs to be changed based on usage and business impact.

Technical Assessments help remove fear and uncertainty by showing which transactions don’t need customization. Of the thousands of customizations most companies think they need, only 25% are actually required. In S/4HANA, some functions have been associated with other business processes and renamed. Out of the 25% required customizations, many are used infrequently.

By putting the information from the Technical Assessment in a graph or chart, you can visualize the findings, making it easier for business leadership to see where business impacts are going to be felt.

Step 3: Choosing an Approach to Implementation

Before moving to SAP HANA, your company must select the right approach to implementation. Clear Tech calls the 3 main approaches to implementation Bluefield, Greenfield, and Brownfield.

Every time SAP releases a new version, your company needs to perform assessments that extract data from your system and compare it with what is available through SAP HANA to determine the ideal approach to implementation.

The Bluefield approach is a hybrid approach that combines the Greenfield and Brownfield approaches. With the Bluefield approach, your company can retain the value of your existing solution while segmenting the go-live process for less potential disruption.

The Greenfield approach is a new implementation. With Greenfield, your company re-engineers processes and implements a new solution, surrendering all your historical data and starting over. This approach is the most disruptive and potentially expensive and should be undertaken if your current system really isn’t working for you.

The Brownfield approach is a migration that allows your company to leverage its existing solution. Tables are populated with data from your current system for a faster, less disruptive implementation.

Seemingly the majority of folks are discussing the cloud. Some have details so they are cautious, and others are blindly following lemmings off the cliff. New ideas garnish the press and so has cloud. What does it mean? What is the impact on your business? Who is the right provider? Should I move my SAP to the cloud? The questions seem endless.

What is the core business reasons you are considering the cloud? Cost? Change of resourcing? Do you expect better service? Are the service levels defined, and were they defined by IT, by the business or by both?

In a recent CIO magazine article, Liz Hebert of Forrester indicated that the ubiquitous nature of the cloud has some inherent issues. In the very same article, Greg Meyers CIO at Motorola indicated that the change creates issues, I would offer that change also takes time to develop into acceptable standards. Are these two individuals outside the norm? I think not and I applaud them for bringing to the forefront a couple of issues plaguing real cloud success.

Should you abandon the cloud? That is not the solution, but like any tool, proper selection and fit must be determined. One-size does not fit all. The cloud is, like any tool, very good in some considerations and risky at best in others. Adopting Cloud strategies require other foundational business strategies to be refined. Move it and they will come is not a good strategy.

What strategy is emerging? Well, the hybrid strategy is gaining a great position. A strategy where a customer virtualizes on-premise for Production workloads and leverages public cloud for other workloads. This strategy allows control of, and perimeter hardening of the data.

POWER TO THE RESCUE

Few environments lend themselves to a corporate cloud better than IBM Power. Being one of the two environments certified to run SAP HANA demonstrates its considerable prowess. Once the darling of SAP, Hasso stated that ‘it was evident that the idea (HANA) was good but the environment (Intel) could not scale’. In the demonstrations of the actual capabilities of IBM Power, it became clear that leveraging the innate capabilities of Power Systems virtualization and the ability of the Power processor to do 2-3x the work of Intel-based solutions. SAP and other cloud providers are leveraging IBM Power as a workhorse for their HANA clients. Incrementally when you understand how LARGE environments that can be virtualized, you also realize that size does not have to fit-all as IBM Power is suitable for very small to the largest HANA implementations. We have assisted many customers to realize significant, real savings with they chose to host SAP on-premises or with a cloud provider.

S/4 HANA Implementation
Let us start with a real use case. You are performing a Greenfield implementation of S/4HANA. The sizing completed early on in the project now concerns you as change orders come in (and they will) there will be changes in the SAP Quick Sizer report that now require re-sizing. Outages have timeline and resource implications negatively affecting the business due to unnecessary outages. If in resizing, you discover a larger environment is needed, re-allocating with Intel systems could require new systems to accommodate additional capacity not to mention many reconfigurations likely require an outage. With IBM Power, there are few situations where an outage is required as many if not most activities may be performed concurrently. Once running in production, processor cores, memory, and I/O can be dynamically (re-)allocated power assets further eliminating the need for an outage.

[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]

The second use case is a bit more complex; you are performing a Brownfield implementation of S/4HANA. In this case, make a copy of the production database into a Sandbox environment. If currently running SAP ECC on IBM Power, you may be able to allocate existing compute, memory and I/O resources to this test environment. If not, we offer temporary capacity to allow an initial evaluation. Next, build your S/4HANA environment using the HANA DB & AS sample sizing from the original ECC’s SAP Scripts. An often-overlooked benefit to testing but also deploying a full HANA environment consisting of DB + AS onto IBM Power is its internal network switching capability. The ability for VM to VM network communications, which occur over the memory bus, without having to leave the server provides an ultra-fast response, high bandwidth, and low latency. This small consideration reduces external network traffic while allowing DMO migrations over the network to exploit the speed of the memory subsystem. When we have done this, it is not uncommon to see DMO functions in the 1-2 days rather than the 4-5 days which is a big acceleration to your project timelines.

Devil raises his head!
Ok, so the two business cases described sound simple and they are real. The devil is in the details and we would love the opportunity to discuss your landscape needs and advise you on all possible options. Don’t be surprised when you also learn that IBM Power will cost less than Intel when fully deployed. This isn’t a hidden fact, just one many are unaware of. Working together, we can help you find the best blend to your business needs and whether or not an on-premises, cloud or hybrid is the right fit.

[1] ”one of the biggest challenges I see is the one-size-fits all nature of the cloud.”  “Simplicity and ubiquity drive the many benefits, but the change can be a huge challenge for CIO’s moving to environments that do not play favorites or tailor to special interests”  “the cloud offers take-it-or-leave it approach”
Liz Hebert, VP Forrester Research
[1] “The biggest mistake I’ve seen others make, and we are trying to avoid that, was underestimating the change to employees and being unprepared to support them through the trauma of changing the tools they have used for decades to manage the new normal” 
Greg Meyers, CIO/VP Motorola systems
[1] SAP Magazine – E3 Professor Hasso plattner chose his first partner for in-memory computing database Hana poorly. Together with Intel, he and his team and the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) in Petsdam, Germany, came up with a concept for in-memory-databases. Eight years later, it becasue clear that the concept was right – but the hardware and the concept of applications were a porr fit.
[1] Power virtualization is hardware level virtualization, as such it does not require incremental processing to leverage and has no impact on performance.
