Overview
In today's globalized world, businesses are constantly evolving, seeking to scale up and expand to meet increasing market demands. This growth often comes through mergers and acquisitions, requiring companies to integrate new subsidiaries with differing business processes into their existing IT systems or to merge multiple disparate systems. Additionally, businesses find themselves needing to diversify their lines of business, necessitating adjustments to IT systems for new business process integrations. This is where the concept of two-tier ERP comes into play, especially within the digital economy, offering a solution for seamlessly integrating multiple ERP landscapes.
Two-tier ERP systems allow an organization's IT landscape to operate on two levels: tier 1 focuses on stable and traditional business processes, while tier 2 caters to the innovative and agile aspects of business. This course delves into the two-tier ERP concept and how organizations can embark on a digital transformation journey using two-tier ERP with SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
Participants will first gain an overview of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, followed by an outline of the business case for adopting a two-tier ERP approach. The course will cover how to centrally manage master data and discuss the integration concepts applicable within a two-tier ERP framework.
Subsequent modules will introduce participants to the finance and sales processes, alongside manufacturing and procurement use cases made possible with the latest SAP S/4HANA Cloud release. Furthermore, the course includes a special session from Topcon Positioning Systems, an early adopter of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, sharing their insights and experiences on leveraging two-tier ERP with their existing on-premise ERP system and SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
This course, provided by openSAP, falls under the categories of Business Intelligence, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and SAP S/4HANA courses, aiming to furnish learners with the necessary insights and skills for digital transformation in a complex business environment.
