sFIN (simple Finance) and Smart Finance on HANA

[Former Member]

Hello SAP HANA friends

I read this document about sFIN:

http://www.saphana.com/docs/DOC-4263

I have seen also documents about Smart Finance, are there any differences between sFIN and Smart Financials?

Thanks

Hi Thomas

Simple Finance is a solution and is cloud based. Smart Financials is part of that package but there is much more included. As stated it means managed services in the cloud so it means paying on subscription base for services from SAP thus utlizing their HANA Enterprise Cloud - HANA Cloud Platform architecture / applications deployed on that.

So sFin really means your customers goes "SAP Cloud". Smart Financials will then be part of that set of applications (systems) that are part of sFin.

If we talk on-premise, we don't talk about Simple Finance, instead we talk about Financial add-on. Smart Financials is part of the Financial add-on.

Best regards

Tom
