Key Considerations for SAPinsiders

  • Gain agility and lower TCO with your SAP Commerce Cloud deployment. Not only does the solution provide a lower total cost of ownership (TCO), but companies achieve a level of agility that allows them to scale depending on the customer environment (e.g., sales and promotions), according to Niladri Gupta, Senior Manager at Deloitte Consulting LLP, and Conner Helton, Senior Product Manager at SAP.
  • Ensure ongoing functionality and security features to respond to customer needs. In today’s omnichannel environment, businesses are faced with a host of consumer expectations, from a seamless digital shopping experience to next-day or same-day shipping. An on-premise solution poses challenges with ongoing service and functionality as the market evolves. Bahaa Badran, Global Vice President, Cloud MOVE, SAP Customer Experience Services, SAP, writes that this is where SAP Commerce Cloud provides the greatest benefit. “Cloud deployments allow valuable flexibility for ongoing maintenance, development, and servicing: most work on the platform can be done remotely and very effectively.” Read the full article to learn best practices to migrate from on-premise to SAP Commerce Cloud without jeopardizing your revenue stream.

With volatile demand patterns, having an end-to-end SAP Commerce Cloud solution enables Breakthru Beverage to adapt and quickly respond to changing customer preferences and behaviors.
