A buyers guide to S/4HANA Cloud SaaS ERP
Summary
With S/4HANA Cloud, SAP has focused on creating a SaaS ERP that offers faster implementation and innovations not available through other versions. That includes outsourced management of infrastructure, shorter innovation cycles, the ability to easily provision new users or functionality, and the capacity to scale up computing power as quickly as needed. With S/4HANA Cloud, companies that dont want to allocate internal resources for deploying and managing infrastructure can outsource many of the foundational requirements of their ERP system to an outside party. S/4HANA Cloud provides a standardized platform for those kinds of scenarios, with relatively easy integration to a large enterprise SAP implementation. To quote a common phrase among SAP consultants, S/4HANA Cloud customers should plan on "embracing the standard" in order to make their ERP implementation fully successful.
