Navigating the complexities of implementing enterprise software systems across various countries and regions can be a daunting task. One crucial aspect of this process is localization, which involves tailoring the software to meet local legal, regulatory, and cultural requirements. Luckily, SAP offers around 60 standard local versions that simplify this process and make it more accessible. However, if your business operates in countries that are not covered by SAP's standard offering, you may have faced significant challenges in the past. Manual efforts in on-premise projects were once the norm, and this was not possible in the public cloud. But now, with the introduction of the Configuration Localization Tool embedded in SAP Central Business Configuration, the process has become hassle-free.
The approach of implementing new countries and regions that are not localized by SAP is called localization as a self-service for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. You can activate these countries with preconfigured content based on SAP Best Practices, giving you a head start in implementing localized operations in a wider range of countries worldwide. While the technical localization is taken care of, partners and customers customize the country from a business perspective. This self-service localization not only expands your country coverage but also saves you from the manual efforts associated with on-premise projects in the past.
If you're interested in hearing about real-world experiences with the Configuration Localization Tool, we have some valuable resources for you. In a fascinating podcast, Amine Drissi, pre-sales director at Inetum Business Solutions, shares insights into their experience as one of the first SAP partners to create a local customer version of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition with self-service localization for an African country. They delve into the specifics of the African market, SAP offerings, and discuss the benefits, challenges, and lessons learned from self-service localization.
Furthermore, we have a video in which Apurva Maduskar, IS Project Manager and Application Owner Sales and Service, and Othi Papailiou, Head of Global Service Operations Process and ERP Development, both from Accelleron Industries, share their hands-on experience as an SAP customer with localizing business processes for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition to support their global operations. They were able to quickly adopt their solution across regions, allowing them to adapt to business disruptions and derive value more rapidly.
By leveraging the Configuration Localization Tool and hearing from industry experts, you can navigate the complexities of implementing enterprise software systems with ease and unlock new opportunities for your business on a global scale.
