In today fast evolving world, we all expect that products we purchase can be tailored to our needs and delivered to our homes as fast as possible with the lowest price tag in the most sustainable way. But what does it have to do with us at SAP? More than you would expect. Let’s find out why and how SAP Product Lifecycle Management's Change Management steps in.

 

1) Complexity - Global players cannot operate their businesses without software solutions


Products nowadays have a shorter shelf life; more diversity and personalization are requested by the consumers. This calls for a faster change process to beat the competition and respond to the market.
SAP S/4HANA Change Record has it covered with its powerful task management capability.

 

2) Costs – Good products are serving the consumers use cases, but the best ones are the ones, we can afford to buy


Poorly managed change produces weak products, causing stress to the consumers, forces the manufacturer to recall and risks losing market share, not only increasing costs but also their carbon footprint on the entire supply chain.
SAP S/4HANA Change Record helps managing change requests via rule-based automations enabling better decisions based of change insights.

 

3) Consistency - The most certain pillar of our global environment is the constant change


Siloed change management approaches driven by individual organizations often result in decisions not assessed from all angles of the business delaying reaction times on change requests.
SAP S/4HANA Change Record synchronizes processes and provides a holistic approach to handle product changes across the enterprise.

 

4) Compliance - Product safety is fundamental expectation from all of us


The year 2020 shown to all of us how important it is to adhere to governmental regulations and compliance in order to release a regulated product to a market, enough to think about the news around vaccines against the pandemic.
SAP S/4HANA Change Record ensures that the required processes for releasing a product can be modelled and signed digitally according to Good Manufacturing Practices.

You could gain insights why the 4 C's - Complexity, Costs, Consistency and Compliance play major role in product changes and how SAP S/4HANA Change Record can help our customers to run better.
