Enterprises have various business imperatives to consider when evaluating how to
enable, extend, and optimize their S4/HANA systems in order to meet requirements for
content management and processing. SAP S/4 HANA and RISE migration initiatives
necessitate considering how to move SAP unstructured content to the cloud as well.
‍
This eBook examines the technology framework and available services for utilizing,
processing, and managing business documents within S4/HANA. Key observations
highlight why there is a technology gap and business challenges to be faced for
complete SAP content services if relying only on the SAP-provided framework and
facilities.
‍
A transformative cloud migration with S/4 HANA should aim to focus on intelligent
content services that feature:
• Content-enabled processes, where related content is one click away.
• Advanced search capabilities for documents and sets of related documents.
• Reduced search and discovery time for improved business responsiveness and
process efficiency.
• Digital transformations, including content processing automation.
• Externalized processes with document processing activities occurring outside the
SAP system.
• Process automation spanning multiple Systems of Record.
• Meeting KPIs and operational metrics which require improved operational
efficiency and shortened process cycles.
• Regulatory compliant governance and business-driven document lifecycle
management.
‍
The enterprise should consider the utilization of MS Azure or Google Cloud Platforms
for SAP Content Management and as Content Services Platforms which can provide
these substantive business, technical, and financial benefits.
