There’s a Bright Future for SAP BusinessObjects 4.3 and Beyond by Nathan Truhan
Customers currently on BusinessObjects 4.2 should know it will go out of support at the end of this year. This means that now is the optimum time to move to the latest supported BusinessObjects version. Early direction provided by SAP, valid through 2022, stated that SAP BusinessObjects 4.3 would be the last on-premises version, supported until 2027, while all future support would only come with SAP BusinessObjects Private Cloud Edition or must be rewritten into SAP Analytics Cloud.
Next-Level Reporting: Managed Services Revolutionize SAP GRC Access Control Operations by Sajib Biswas and Brad Euell
As organizations transition to SAP S/4HANA and SAP cloud solutions, they often discover that GRC capabilities and processes also need to be updated on a more frequent basis. One example of a continuously changing dataset is the segregation of duties (SoD) ruleset. With S/4HANA, the GRC ruleset now supports monitoring many new access types including Fiori apps and HANA database access. While an implementation or upgrade project would typically include the relevant set of Fiori apps in the ruleset at a specific point in time, the continued effort of keeping the ruleset up to date with newly implemented Fiori apps is equally important.
System Integrator or Security Specialist: Who Should be Responsible for Implementing S/4HANA Security and Controls by Mohammed Abdullahi
In the dynamic landscape of SAP S/4HANA implementations, the critical aspects of security, governance, risk and compliance (GRC) and controls demand meticulous attention. Transformation of business processes presents an opportunity to revamp the enterprise application security to stay compliant and secure, in effect satisfying the needs of the auditors and business stakeholders. IT leaders know that the fine balance of maintaining a secure, yet effective solution is not always easy to achieve, specifically due to ever-changing audit and regulatory compliance changes. There has never been a more critical time to ensure that systems are implemented with leading practices to safeguard the integrity and usability of the enterprise system.
S/4HANA Migration: Best Practices for the Program Management Office by Danielle Baumann
Undergoing an SAP S/4HANA business transformation brings inherent challenges and risks that make having a strong program management office (PMO) essential to the performance and success of the program. While the functional and technical designs are critical to an S/4HANA transformation, the program management office lays the foundation for the program governance, delivery quality and measurement of success for the program.
Why Everyone Should be Preparing for an SAP Datasphere Migration by Jonathan Haun
SAP Datasphere, previously known as SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, represents a significant evolution in data management and analytics solutions offered by SAP. At its core, the technology runs on an SAP HANA Cloud database, offering clients new ways to model and manage data compared to legacy data management solutions. These new ways to model data can significantly increase the agility of data pipeline management during the initial build process and when maintaining models in production. SAP Datasphere achieves this by ingesting source system data at a base layer; further modeling is based on virtual models (like SQL views) that do not require further persisting or physical movement of data within the data pipeline.
