SAP ERP – One of the most popular SAP Versions


ERP Central Components (ECC) – In 2004, SAP launched a new
version of R/3 software with a revised architecture called SAP ECC
(SAP ERP Central Component). It is SAP’s ERP (Enterprise Resource
Planning) solution. It is also one of the most robust and successful
ERP software.
Further, SAP ECC comprises 10 functional components viz.

 Financial Accounting (FI)


 Controlling (CO)
 Sales and Distribution (SD)
 Material Management (MM)
 Production Planning (PP)
 Quality Management (QM)
 Plan Maintenance (PM)
 Customer Service (CS)
 Project System (PS)
 Human Capital Management (HCM)

The modules within the ECC systems are tightly integrated with each other
which makes the data flow between multiple lines of business easy and
efficient. It also provides an integrated view of the whole organization.

SAP S4 HANA
SAP S/4 HANA – Latest of all SAP Versions
HANA Platform
HANA stands for High-Performance Analytical Application. The increases in
processing power and storage and the reduction in hardware costs gave
SAP the opportunity to rethink the architecture of ERP.

SAP S/4 HANA is short for ---SAP Business Suite for SAP HANA. It is the
latest ERP offering from SAP and is based on the SAP HANA in-memory
database to help organizations execute transactions and analyze business
data in real-time. Subsequently, SAP designed its fourth version ‘SAP
Business Suite’ to run only on SAP HANA. More details on this later in this
article.

Three main building blocks of SAP S/4 HANA


1. The HANA platform (or HANA database) is a new database that solves
the problems faced by ERP
2. S/4 HANA (the HANA Business suite) an updated version of business
suite 7 taking advantage of the benefits of the HANA platform
3. A new approach to UI with more focus on flexible app style
development and mobile.

ECC used third party database (oracle / IBM)

S4HANA launched new database (HANA)

Key Features of SAP HANA


There are three key features that allow the HANA platform to solve the problems ERP and BI were
facing, these are:-

Advance features in sap s4hana


In-memory computing– SAP HANA runs on a multi-core CPU with fast
communication between processor cores and contains terabytes of main
memory. With SAP HANA, all data is available in main memory, which
avoids the performance penalty of the disk (read/write to auxiliary memory)
Parallel Processing– Parallel processing is a fairly common concept where
modern computers can use multiple processors simultaneously in an
operation.
Columnar database management & data compression – In addition to
in-memory HANA applies database management methods that are much
more efficient at compressing data. And the more compressed data can be
the faster the system can run.
Table.

Traditional OLTP databases will hold data in a row store. If we compare the
data with the row store and column store, we see that the row store has a
lot of duplicate data. Thus, the columnar store is much easier to compress.
In-memory design with a columnar store, the HANA platform provides a
database that can operate hugely faster than the database options used in
R/3 business suite 7 or any traditional OLTP system.
