SAP S/4HANA Cloud
SAP S/4HANA Cloud is the next generation of the SAP ERP suite, built on the SAP HANA in-memory database and optimised for cloud operations.
Core Concept
Standardisation based on best practices: SAP enforces highly optimised, global business processes. The platform provides real-time insights across all levels of the organisation.
Assessment
- Use case: Large enterprises and international SMEs with the highest requirements for process stability and auditability.
- Advantage: Global standard, exceptional audit compliance, and the most powerful in-memory technology on the market.
- Limitation: Highly complex and expensive implementation projects; limited flexibility for individual process deviations (strong focus on standard processes).
