Accelerate the Success of New Ventures with SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Today, new business opportunities are the key to long-term success, but businesses have to capitalize on these opportunities much faster than their corporate structure can allow. So, many businesses launch new ventures to innovate quickly and turn opportunities into outcomes. Separate from corporate, these new ventures can maximize flexibility and speed . With independence comes the need for their own ERP because corporate and new venture ERP requirements are fundamentally different.
| Corporate ERP Needs | New Venture ERP needs |
| Support a complex global environment | Minimize complexity to move fast and support rapid innovation |
| Provide industry-specific functionality to support each part of the business | Provide general functionality that is fast to implement, easy to learn, and agile to change |
| Use custom applications developed over many years | Integrate into the corporate infrastructure with prepackaged integrations and use corporate services |
| Provide cost-efficiencies driven by a stable and well-established IT environment | Meet the needs of a constantly changing business and scale quickly |
