SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud vs Public Cloud
SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud vs Public Cloud. Which one suits your organization?
SAP S/4HANA is a powerful enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution designed to streamline business operations, increase efficiency, and drive growth. As companies seek to adopt SAP S/4HANA to take advantage of its many benefits, they must first decide which deployment model is best suited for their unique needs. In this article, we will explore the differences between SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud and Private Cloud, and help you determine which is right for your organization.
Why SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud
S/4HANA Public Cloud is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that enables customers to access the ERP system via the Internet. With this model, all customers share the same Cloud environment. This type of deployment enables low-cost, efficient, and scalable operations, as SAP manages the entire infrastructure.
However, there are certain limitations to S/4HANA Public Cloud that may make it less customizable for certain organizations. The Public Cloud offers a limited range of configurations, which can be unsuitable for businesses that require more advanced customization.
SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud Benefits
S/4HANA Private Cloud, on the other hand, provides greater flexibility and functionality than the Public Cloud. In the Private Cloud, each customer has their own dedicated virtual private Cloud, which offers more advanced customization options and supports a wider range of configurations. With this type of deployment, there are no restrictions on language, country, or region needed for business operations, making it an excellent choice for companies with a global presence.
Moreover, S/4HANA Private Cloud provides customers with greater control over the upgrade schedule, ensuring minimal disruption and downtime to business operations. With SAP managing the entire infrastructure for both Public and Private Cloud solutions, customers can still take advantage of the same high level of support and maintenance.
Considering above mentioned, SAP has come up with some solution bundles:
Two offerings from SAP, GROW with SAP and RISE with SAP, are designed to help midsize and large enterprises embrace the cloud and take advantage of the benefits offered by SAP S/4 HANA. While both offerings are geared towards providing cloud-based ERP solutions, they differ in terms of focus.
SAP GROW (Public Cloud)
GROW with SAP is primarily targeted at new customers and midsize companies looking to implement a cloud-based ERP quickly and easily. The package includes an ERP software suite, services, and resources designed to make the implementation process seamless. With GROW, SAP aims to provide a greenfield approach to implementing SAP S/4 HANA, enabling companies to start afresh and avoid complex migration issues that arise when porting from on-premises solutions.
SAP RISE (Private Cloud)
RISE with SAP, on the other hand, is designed with existing SAP customers in mind. It offers a robust range of additional features and services related to the migration and transformation of SAP systems. Businesses can leverage RISE to simplify the migration process from their existing SAP solutions to SAP S/4 HANA, including migration to the cloud.
Another significant difference between GROW and RISE with SAP is the destinations that they cater to. While GROW is a public cloud offering, RISE is a private cloud offering.
Both GROW and RISE with SAP solutions have their unique set of offerings and can help businesses navigate their cloud transformation journey. It's worth noting that implementing an SAP S/4HANA solution can be a significant undertaking, and the choice of which path to take will depend on the business's objective, current infrastructure, and the scale of ambition.
Both S/4HANA Public and Private Cloud offer significant advantages for businesses seeking to adopt SAP's ERP system. However, each deployment model has its unique benefits and limitations, and careful consideration should be given to determine which is the best fit for your organization. Regardless of which option you choose, SEIDOR's commitment to providing world-class support and maintenance will ensure your investment is protected and delivers maximum value to your business.
