SAP TechEd Lecture of the Week: Extending SAP S/4HANA with SAP Cloud Platform

At TechEd 2016 I presented the session

DEV102: Extending SAP Business Suite and SAP S/4HANA with SAP HANA Cloud Platform

This is an important use case for SAP Cloud Platform (notice the new name 🙂 ) as SAP S/4HANA sits at the center of mission critical business processes line financials, logistics and planning.  I explored various ways to extend the functionality of SAP S/4HANA in the session. I can summarize all the use cases in the following picture

Note there are two types of scenarios – in-app (I1, I2 etc) where you extend the functionality from S/4HANA itself by using tools like key user extensibility and side by side extensibility (S1,S2..S6) that happens in SAP Cloud Platform.

Or for a deeper dive you should check the OpenSAP course on the same topic which is a 6 week self-paced course and provides excellent education on all aspects of SAP S/4HANA extensions using SAP Cloud Platform.
