SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management OnPremise version 1709 is awaited with eager eyes.

Reason - It is promising version with multiple changes and NEW innovations across Line of business (LOB)s.

With 1511 and 1610 versions of S/4HANA Enterprise Management, building blocks were laid down, with some CORE data-model changes, FIORI Analytical Applications, VDM's starting of Integrated / Embedded Solutions.

With 1709 version, the journey strengthens it's stack of Innovations, primarily in the new dimension technologies, supporting EDGE Usecases with IoT, Machine-Learning, Big Data Analytics to name a few.

With 1709, as SAP continues to consolidate the product-stack to  "One CORE" - (CRM as add-on, Commodity Management and so on),  the Innovations in Enterprise Management version are primarily based on EDGE technologies

This comes as big boost for "wait-and-watch" eyes, ( equally applicable to SAP's Install based client as well as Implementation and Support partners ), who have been preparing for, planning for, wanted to understand, work-out usecases, business case for driving  the discussions on  "#DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION" and the "New Business Process", New Business Models .

Also for those looking for Landscape Simplification and Consolidation, this version has certain features which forms as BASE for the journey ahead. (CRM as add-on, SAP for Industries, TM & EWM in Core is a Big-ticket item for many)
