Importance of Cloud Computing – Why Cloud?

Worldwide spending on public cloud services will grow at 19.4% compound annual growth rate – almost
six times the rate of overall IT spending growth – From nearly $ 70 Billion in 2015 to more than $141
Billion in 2019. Source - IDC

Factors Influencing Cloud Development

• The cost of computing power decreased.


• Virtualization technology matured, which drastically reduced the cost of hardware and software management.

Early Adoption is necessary for Service Line Success

Why we should jump in now…


• Market is Ready!...whether SAP is ready or not!!
• Competitive demand for Cloud ERP (Oracle, NetSuite, Workday
etc.)
• SAP’s entry into Cloud ERP generating a lot of interest
• SAP’s Functional and Industry Depth
SAP Projections
• Next Generation Cloud ERP will be Bigger than On-Premise ERP
• Overall cloud ERP market potential $20B addressable market in
2017
• Slow ramp up but expect S/4Cloud to be $12B of the $33B total
revenue goal by 2020
• S/4HANA Cloud will be the largest ecosystem of partners &
consultants

Goal: Have 1 to 3 Customers by the end of FY18!

When to go for Cloud?

High
Implementation Size
Reasons Why Companies are moving to cloud
High Low
• Pressure on IT to be more responsive to changes in business
requirements

• Increasing need to focus on innovation and simplify IT Landscapes Very High Medium

Low
• Pressure on IT to reduce Costs while still achieving business goals
Low High

Appropriate Cases for Cloud System Complexity

• Smaller to mid sized companies are most likely candidates as implementation and
managed services will be less

• Companies with Basic Functionality, minimal customization and limited integration

• Hybrid Model: Most functionality is retained in hosted ERP and migrate rest in cloud
environment

• Company with Multiple subsidiaries, divisions to cloud to run their local operations

SAP Activate– Best Practices

Copyright © 2017 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 32


SAP Activate – Best Practices

SAP Activate offers Best Practice business process scenarios to rapidly assemble a baseline solution. To
understand how to use these business scenarios, let’s first understand the terminology.

• Selection of scope items, available in the cloud or on-premise


• Implemented fully or partially
• Different editions have different number of scope items
• Editions currently available: on-premise Enterprise Edition, Cloud
Package Enterprise Edition, Cloud Marketing Edition, Cloud Professional
Services Edition

• Pre-defined business process


Scope • Supported by accelerators with detailed documentation
• Require specific Building Blocks to be implemented
Items • Examples: sales order processing, make to stock production
processing, revenue planning process

Building • Set of configuration for a piece of a scope item / business process


Blocks •

Executed in a certain sequence to configure the solution
Can be shared between scope items
• Come with configuration guide documents that can be used if
configuring manually
• Accelerators: configuration content and documentation

Fit-to-Standard: Key Considerations

 Fit-to-Standard workshops must be held in an efficient manner with customer SME’s to reduce
backtracking later in the implementation and to enable the customer on scenario execution.
 Enter the Fit-to-Standard workshops with an open mind and involve subject matter experts in the
discussions.
 Utilize the predefined configuration in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud solution to drive adoption of the standard,
allowing your customer to innovate with every quarterly release of SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
 For items classified as gaps, project team performs further analysis to understand if the functionality gap is
1. Going to be covered in upcoming release
2. There is an existing extension that can be used, or
3. There is a need to undertake the effort to extend the application and integrate.

 For solution enhancements or additional configuration which is required, prioritize items in terms of high
importance to keep project timelines and expectations in on track. Think about multiple incremental releases
to the business, rather than one big-bang deployment

S/4HANA Cloud – Test Automation Tool

Automated testing will have the two step process through Manage Your Solution:
 Manage Your Test Processes
 Test Your Processes
Mange Your Test Processes: In this app, we have to identify and select standard test
script that defines our business process. If we do not find the required standard test
process, this app allows us to create custom test script as required by using recording
process.
Test Your Processes: We can create test plan using standard or custom test script that
defines business flow. Execute using test automation tool. We can analyze execution
results and identify the errors and re-execute failed test plans. We can even schedule
test plans for later execution.

S/4HANA Cloud – Testing Cycle

Copyright © 2017 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 56


Types of Test Script Automation

Custom Test Processes:


I. When we find a standard process that has most of the required steps but does not include some steps as
per requirement, we can copy the standard process to create a custom test process and we can customize
this test process to suit our requirement.
II. When we find that none of the standard processes suit our requirement, then we can create a new
custom test process and add test process steps by recording the actions on the applications(apps).
III. When we find some of required process steps in one standard process and a few other steps in another
standard process, then we can create a new custom test process by taking required steps from both the
processes and customize it further to suit our requirement.

Standard Business Processes:


I. When we find a standard process that has all required process steps that suits the requirement, we can
use the standard test processes for automation.
