SAP S/4HANA stands for SAP Business Suite 4 HANA.
It’s an intelligent, next-generation ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system designed to run exclusively on the SAP HANA in-memory database.

​

HANA  High-Performance Analytical Appliance (the in-memory database)

​

🧩 Why It Was Created

Older ERP systems (like SAP ECC) were complex, slower, and based on traditional databases.
SAP built S/4HANA to:

 • Simplify data models

 • Speed up processing using in-memory computing

 • Support real-time analytics and AI-driven insights

 • Run both on-premise and in the cloud
