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.
Benefits

- Up-to-date innovations with short release cycles

- SAP Cloud ALM for Implementation supports business process implementation from design to solution delivery
- SAP Cloud ALM continues to support fit-to-standard workshops in S/4HANA public cloud implementation projects with an integrated environment
- Test plans from S/4HANA Cloud can be synchronised and requirements mapped with SAP Cloud ALM
- Integrated business process development accelerates implementations and thereby reduces costs
