Key facts:
- Embedded usage of BIS in S/4
- Integration with multiple SAP ERP or non-SAP systems possible (no data replication required for local S/4 data)
- Better integration possible (e.g. S/4HANA Payment Run, APM)
- Business content available for native S/4 and replicated ERP data
- Simplified Landscape
- AS ABAP and HANA maintenance needs to be aligned across S/4 and BIS
- Data replication requires a full-use database license if a 3rd party source database is used. A run-time database license sold by SAP for that 3rd party database is not sufficient

SAP Assurance and Compliance Software for SAP S/4HANA (available on the solution documentation page).
