WHETHER YOU WANT SAP S/4HANA ON-PREMISE, PUBLIC CLOUD, OR PRIVATE CLOUD – YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
With over two decades of experience implementing SAP, we at CNT Management Consulting are uniquely positioned to support customers in their continued SAP journey. We successfully completed a large number of cloud projects and understand the intricate differences between the different operating models.
How to Run SAP S/4HANA – Options
SAP on AnyPremise is the traditional model where customers operate their complete application stack down to the data center. The key is that the Customer manages the infrastructure and operation, even if part of it is outsourced to a cloud provider.
RISE with SAP, Private Edition is the model where SAP operates a significant portion of the technical foundation of the SAP applications, including infrastructure, operating system, databases, middleware, and technical SAP Basis. The customer has vast control over the SAP application itself, add-ons, extensions, custom code, and others.
RISE with SAP, Public Edition, and GROW with SAP are the two major SaaS models SAP is offering to the ERP market. They are both based on SAP ERP SaaS, which is the Cloud Edition of SAP S/4HANA. The main differentiation between the two is simply targeting different segments. GROW is for the mid-market and RISE for larger companies or companies with more complex SaaS requirements.
The Benefits of the Cloud
Overall, Cloud applications have shorter lead times and much faster returns on investment. In addition, new business models can be introduced more easily in a company. The cloud is very user-friendly. Keeping up with changes, coordinating internal and external resources, and unlocking the potential of AI-powered forecasting are all made possible with the various SAP S/4HANA Cloud Models.
The future is definitely in the cloud, so we here at CNT Management Consulting were early to invest in cloud practices and build cloud consulting teams. Further solutions are in the planning stage.
Unique Opportunities with the SAP Public Cloud Options
Public Cloud options with SAP offer unique opportunities boiling down a unique focus on speed, affordability, and ease of use for a specific type of company:
- Tailored for standardization as the options thrive on pre-configured solutions and standardized processes. This caters to mid-sized companies in well-defined industries like retail, manufacturing, and professional services, where common operational patterns exist.
- Quickest on the tracks: Forget lengthy implementations. A Public Cloud Option rollout is a far cry from the typical ERP rollout. This rapid deployment is ideal for companies facing growth challenges and needing a fast operational boost.
- Budget-conscious champion: Pre-configured solutions and streamlined processes translate to lower implementation costs and predictable pricing.
- Ease of use at the wheel: No need for extensive IT expertise. GROW’s cloud-based and standardized approach makes it user-friendly for everyone, from executives to everyday employees.
