What is SAP Cloud ERP?

SAP Cloud ERP, formerly SAP S/4HANA Cloud, is a future-oriented Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) that integrates all core areas, from procurement to finance, supply chain, and sales. Quick to deploy, it offers data-driven real-time insights, embedded AI, and scalable performance. SAP Cloud ERP combines the flexibility and cost-efficiency of the cloud with powerful ERP capabilities for all core areas from procurement to sales. The solution is particularly well-suited for companies that want to get started quickly with modern business software and take advantage of continuous innovation. Thanks to preconfigured business processes, it is up and running in no time and can be used efficiently from the start thanks to role-based SAP Fiori interfaces. With the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), the solution can be easily expanded and customized.

SAP Cloud ERP delivers the latest technology—such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotic process automation—as a turnkey solution. SAP Cloud ERP meets international regulatory requirements. It grows with the company, adapts to new business situations, and continuously makes new technology available for use. Thanks to the SAP HANA in-memory database, SAP Cloud ERP enables real-time analytics and data-driven business management.

Continuous updates, innovations, and compliance and security patches keep the system constantly up to date.

SAP Cloud ERP is available in two versions: a highly standardized public cloud version and a Private Edition with more extensive customization and extension options. The lean public cloud solution is quick to deploy and always up-to-date in terms of functionality, technology, security, and innovation. Customer-specific adaptations to the standard processes can be implemented using the SAP Business Technology Platform. SAP handles hosting and operations, which minimizes resource requirements for customers. Bottom line: this SaaS variant offers the fastest path to the cloud with the lowest TCO and the highest level of innovation. This cloud solution is ideal for companies with largely standardized processes and minimal need for customization, as they can immediately leverage the preconfigured processes and the provided industry-specific best practices. Fast-growing startups that do not yet use an SAP solution stand to benefit particularly.

Thanks to their specific advantages, the various SaaS deployment options offer solutions tailored to companies’ individual circumstances, requirements, and priorities. Hybrid scenarios are also possible, in which parts of the business processes are moved to the cloud while others are operated in the company’s own data center.
