Migrating to SAP S/4HANA: Harness the potential of EDI for supply chain optimisation
SAP is one of the world’s most widely used ERP systems today, and its first version dates all the way back to the 1970s.

In 2015, this led SAP to come forward with a breakthrough solution: SAP S/4HANA. It represents a technological leap towards greater speed and stability and a modern user interface.

SAP and EDI in the Automotive Sector: Entrust Integration to a Professional
