It then demystifies some key terminology related to S/4HANA like the differences between on-premise and cloud versions, different release numbers, and new modules for finance and logistics. The document also summarizes how S/4HANA leverages the power of HANA by changing the data model and providing a unified data model for financial and inventory data.
