Modernizing SAP Analytics Architecture During an S/4HANA TransitionMany companies are upgrading their SAP Analytics architectures due to SAP's upcoming end of mainstream maintenance and the need for analytics investment to support S/4HANA upgrades. The evolving analytics market offers features beyond traditional environments, leading to confusion about the optimal SAP Analytics landscape. Some organizations modernize using non-SAP environments, gaining new capabilities but losing future integration with SAP solutions like S/4HANA, Fieldglass, SuccessFactors, and Ariba. Others use data lake technologies or non-SAP tools, facing complex development cycles and potential audit issues. Best-of-breed architectures combining SAP and non-SAP products require more integration effort compared to full-stack SAP technology. SAP's matured analytics and Business Technology Platform (BTP) streamline SAP data processing and integration. Protiviti recommends re-platforming landscapes and evaluating overall IT capabilities, considering business intelligence, analytics, data science, integration, custom development, and RPA. Key modernization considerations include adopting new organizational models, exploring new capabilities, using a best-of-suite approach for smaller organizations, and intentional best-of-breed/data fabric for larger organizations, with incremental technology adoption.
