What is SAP Cloud ERP Private?

SAP Cloud ERP Private (formerly SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud) is a customized cloud ERP solution that can be flexibly adapted to the unique transformation needs of each company.

It delivers the full functionality of SAP S/4HANA On-Premises, plus all the innovations that SAP provides via the cloud, which are made available through regular updates. Extensive customization and extension options enable a precisely tailored business solution that promotes differentiation. The private cloud version combines full SAP S/4HANA functionality with the economic benefits of a service-based model. It is suitable for companies with complex processes and heterogeneous system landscapes that require more freedom in the individual design of their workflows or have many country-specific requirements. SAP Cloud ERP Private enables the migration of on-premises ERP investments, such as SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) and SAP S/4HANA. The solution offers comprehensive functions for managing the entire lifecycle of master data, including centralized governance and consolidation. Integrated security features and a shared responsibility model ensure security and compliance. The platform helps companies comply with global and regional regulations. SAP Cloud ERP Private has a two-year release cycle, with new innovations and enhancements every six months.
