OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Professional services firms sell their people's time and expertise. Profit depends on keeping people busy on the right work, billing accurately and quickly, and controlling project costs.

SAP S/4HANA supports the full professional services cycle: customer projects, staffing and resource management, time and expense recording, billing by time and materials, fixed fee or milestone, and revenue recognition, with project and client margins in real time.

Service management and subscription billing extend S/4HANA for firms with recurring service contracts.

Webtel delivers S/4HANA using SAP Activate, starting from SAP best practices and industry content. Fit-to-standard workshops show your teams how processes work in the standard system, so changes are limited to what genuinely sets your business apart. That keeps the core clean, makes upgrades easier and shortens the project.

What Makes SAP S/4HANA Different

One data model

Finance and logistics share one source of truth, including the Universal Journal.

Real-time

Reports and planning run on live data instead of overnight batches.

SAP Fiori

Role-based apps that work on desktop, tablet and phone.

Embedded analytics

Insight inside the transactions people already use.

Cloud or on-premise

Public cloud, private cloud or your own data centre.
