SAP Business Planning and Consolidations

Dont Paint Yourself in a Corner!

ByAshwin Gadi & John Louw

S/4HANA and other changes that SAP is now presenting dramatically

simplifies the architecture for actual data, making things more flexible.
SAP BPC for S/4HANA [http://www.infogility.org/technology-services/] is
positioned to overcome the problems associated with planned data
silos, proposed advantages being:

Elimination of standalone planning system

No need to replicate data between the ERP system and SAP BPC.

Real-time analysis on plan data and actual data.

Planning based on real-time ERP master data.

The simplified system landscape reduces hardware and

administration costs.

Sounds like the silver bullet everybody has been waiting for, but is it a fit
for your organization and what does it mean for your current
implementation? Does it mean that you have a path to this new
functionality or does it mean youll have to rebuild everything and start
form scratch.
