Yahoo Finance SAP Launches SAP S/4HANA to Trigger Innovation in Brazil
SAP SE SAP recently announced that its state-of-the-art cloud-enterprise resource planning (ERP) software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution — SAP S/4HANA — will now be available in Brazil.
SAP S/4HANA includes built-in artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, and aids in streamlining business procedures with a shortened user experience.
The company’s SAP S/4HANA solution is currently used in several service-centric and product-centric industries across the globe. Companies in these industries lower cost and boost business value with this intelligent solution. Notably, the SAP S/4HANA solution helps improve companies’ efficiency across finance and procurement, manufacturing, project management and supply-chain management.
SAP noted that the SAP S/4HANA cloud-based solution will likely secure a sturdy response from the Brazilian market, as the country has always promptly embraced new technologies.
