For the rapid expansion of globalization, multinational corporations or need development companies, if you want to come up with a strategy of comprehensive enterprise software build branch across the entire ecosystem, support the development of the entire enterprise, we always need to make some innovation, headquarters is not necessarily suitable for software and technique subsidiary and other operating units within the enterprise, in many cases, applicable to the headquarters of the software function is too strong, the cost is too high, the unit can't play to utility, and many subsidiary autonomy, rather than force them to use may be too broad or (and) unrealistic solutions, make their own choice may be more simple,

Head office and subsidiaries demand is essentially different, how to realize the new business model, cross branches become enterprise globalization development needs to solve the problem,


As a result, many companies have adopted the double ERP strategy, namely the deployment of a supplier to provide the standard enterprise system in headquarters, subsidiaries in alternative strategy of ERP implementation, so as to effectively create a multi-vendor double ERP environment, over the years, the effect is good, but as the global business environment with unprecedented speed to the fully digital real-time operation mode transformation, its inherent limitations began to emerge, due to the double layer architecture based on integration system on the basis of different suppliers, so this architecture not only failed to follow multinational enterprises structure flexibility, have become the enterprises to carry out the innovation, a stumbling block to control costs and improve operational efficiency, with the nature of the subsidiaries operating evolved, they need more advanced features and more innovation support, this limitation started growing,


That is the whole, the status of the software industry, and until recently has been the enterprise have to accept the reality, if consider the technological change of the market today, these limitations will be more difficult, even whether to deploy new cloud applications, meet new opportunities such as the Internet of things, or adjust the business process to grasp the new business opportunities, multi-vendor systems almost bound to keep these solution deployment and management more complicated,

However, SAP enterprise ecosystem is upending the pattern, SAP hana S/4 product lines to cope with the challenges, by providing a single supplier double solution, basic to eliminate these obstacles, this is the SAP hana S/4 the significance of product line development, and SAP hana S/4 support cloud deployment and enterprise preset type two kinds of deployment model, enterprise can run in the headquarters of a fully functional system preset SAP hana S/4, at the same time, based on the public cloud run SAP hana S/4 implement flexible and subsidiary solution with adaptive ability, can achieve the unified code and data structures,

If the enterprise can be deployed in the double model used in a range of products, using Shared data structures, API and extension platform, they can conceive a better way, highly integrated headquarters and subsidiary business operations, not sacrificing the sacrosanct many subsidiary autonomy, avoid violating local laws and regulations requirements, SAP hana S/4 can use (driving the innovation platform of digital transformation) database memory computing functions, within a certain layer and multilayer unprecedented real-time function, in fact, we can see that SAP hana S/4 double deployment mechanism will help to achieve a certain degree of integration headquarters and subsidiaries and business synergy, this is far beyond the traditional double ERP,


As a single operator double ERP solutions, SAP S/4 hana Cloud's advantage lies in:

01 cloud as a "growth engine"
