S/4HANA Cloud gives you the S/4HANA digital core as a service. We implement both editions and help you choose between them based on how standard you can run and how much control you need over upgrades.
Both editions share the S/4HANA data model and Fiori experience. The differences are in control and flexibility.
Software as a service
Fits when: Midsize companies, subsidiaries and new businesses that can run close to SAP's standard processes.
Single tenant, managed by SAP
Fits when: Large enterprises with complex or industry-specific processes, or an ECC system worth converting.
Moving between editions is a new implementation, not a switch. That is why the decision deserves a proper assessment of your processes and growth plans up front.
With a small set of automated regression tests on your critical processes, a named owner for each release and a habit of reading the release notes before the upgrade rather than after it.
Share what you're working on. We'll tell you how we'd approach it and who would do the work.
