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.
