Many organisations have enormous amounts of unprocessed data, which amounts to thousands of gigabytes of resources you can use to speed up business operations and offer higher customer value. With SAP S/4HANA, business organisations can access in-memory processing and real-time data analytics to aid management decisions and ensure the rapid usability of available data. It is an all-in-one solution that facilitates the standardisation of the procurement process in an organisation. It offers an all-inclusive function for vendor management, invoice verification, contract management, inventory processing and operational purchasing.
