Cloud vs On-Premise
S/4HANA cloud has rapid adoption because of its scalability, cost-effectiveness, and low maintenance overhead; it enables businesses to focus on their core capabilities rather than IT infrastructure and system administration. On-premises deployment, on the other hand, is perfect for firms that require complete control and flexibility over their software, which is frequent in industries with strict data security regulations. Here are some key considerations
-
Licensing Model
-
Infrastructure & Maintenance Mode
-
Speed of Innovation
-
Implementation Approach
-
Functional Scope
On-premise requires traditional licensing, while S/4HANA cloud works with subscription-based licensing
On-premise is deployed and maintained by the customer's IT staff, while S/4HANA cloud is hosted and managed by SAP
On-premise requires planning, testing, controlling, upgrading and changing within the system by the customer, while S/4HANA cloud receives automatic latest innovation upgrades quarterly without customer's participation
On-premise is customizable to a greater extent than S/4HANA cloud, which has predefined best-practice configuration with limited specialization
On-premise provides the full scope, integration with SAP's industry solutions, and more flexibility to extend and integrate with other systems, while S/4HANA cloud is better suited to companies that want to take advantage of massive economies of scale in public cloud options like AWS, Azure and GCP and has a limited set of key scenarios and integrations
What We Think
The SAP S/4HANA market has grown fast in recent years and is expected to continue.
This subsegment is expected to increase at an annual pace of 8.70%. The growing popularity of digital technology across a wide range of industries, as well as the resulting need for cheap solutions that improve operational efficiency and scalability, have both contributed to the rapid growth of small enterprises.
This increase is attributable to North America's large concentration of businesses, many of which are small and medium-sized organizations (SMEs) in need of the SAP S/4HANA solution to help them streamline their processes and fuel their growth.
The cloud version enables firms to rapidly expand and readily adapt to changing market conditions. Organizations may take advantage of the most recent features and capabilities as soon as they become available with the quarterly upgrades for this edition.
The SAP S/4HANA market is increasing globally as businesses across all industries recognise the value of digital transformation and adopt SAP solutions to improve their competitiveness and operational efficiency. This is especially true in markets such as Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa.
