Defining a cloud strategy powered by SAP S/4HANA Cloud

CEOs are focusing on innovation

Cloud technologies enable organisations to rapidly innovate to drive new business outcomes. The public cloud presents significant advantages in system benefits and total cost when paired with the right client. The SAP S/4HANA Cloud platform is an open platform-as-a-service providing in-memory database and business application services. Moving from a traditional ERP to a Cloud ERP will require a change in how companies manage and optimise S/4HANA Cloud. 

While legacy systems made change both risky and expensive, cloud technologies enable organisations to rapidly innovate to drive new business outcomes. As a result, organisations can accelerate speed-to-market and quickly adjust course to capitalise on industry shifts and emerging technologies.
