SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud
The ERP cloud solution for ready-to-use business processes with the latest innovations and short implementation times.
The adaptability and competitiveness of a company is directly related to the digital transformation of their ERP system. In this respect, the S/4HANA Public Cloud, which will be introduced in 2019, offers the advantage that it can be introduced with the SAP Activate methodology and short project times. The continuous delivery of innovations will continue to ensure that the ERP system is up to date and the "clean core" approach will reduce the effort required for updates. The costs for ERP operation are reduced, as there is no need to set up an IT infrastructure and SAP takes over the provision of the ERP software. Customers benefit in particular from the shared use of infrastructure and software on cloud platforms.
