Great summary, thanks!
Hi, is it possible to
Also, with S/4 there is a strong dependency with Fiori (and the underlying netweaver) with the backend core. Thereby making the hub model not very flexible as the same system might not be compatible with other fiori apps of SAP Business Suite etc. Considering this there is traction towards moving to a embedded model. Can you please comment on this and also the performance aspects of such a setup?
Please check SAP Note
