SAP announced that customers can now experience the next-generation business suite SAP Business Suite 4 SAP HANA (SAP S/4HANA) thanks to a 30-day trial offer for the on-premise edition.

The trial software covers end-to-end digitized business processes in finance, procurement, sales, manufacturing and more to let customers discover the value of instant business insight. In addition, customers will enjoy the simplicity of the new SAP Fiori user experience combined with powerful visualizations to analyze the business across multiple dimensions.

The trial offers a complete demo guide, examples of typical installation and infrastructure features and up-and-running landscapes to mirror real-life scenarios.

“The trial allows users to touch and feel the simplicity of SAP S/4HANA combined with real-time insight to help our customers drive their digital business transformation at their pace,” said Elvira Wallis, senior vice president of Scale, Enablement and Transformation, SAP.

SAP S/4HANA is the next-generation business suite fully built on the advanced in-memory computing technology of the SAP HANA platform and designed with the new SAP Fiori user experience. SAP S/4HANA makes possible instant insight across lines of business and industries with the ultimate sophistication: simplicity.
