The SAP S/4HANA ERP system is provided in three different options:
- SAP S/4HANA On-Premise: Here, the ERP system is installed on a local server or on an in-house or off-site data center for the maintenance and provision of data and applications. Processes are often adapted flexibly and on a customer-specific basis. The (internal) IT infrastructure must be open for system adaptations. On the other hand, operating your own local servers and data centers is costly. This also applies to the high IT security standards that need to be met. As an SAP customer, you are responsible for keeping releases up to date.
- SAP S/HANA Private Cloud: Applications and services run in their own environment, which offers typical cloud advantages, such as maintenance-free IT tools. The private cloud enables more individual customization than the public cloud and often contains the latest SAP developments that are exclusively available for the cloud, e.g. AI solutions. In addition, customizations and various projects are possible at any time. A full managed service is also offered by SAP when choosing the SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud.
- SAP S/HANA Public Cloud: As a customer, you share the hardware and network infrastructure. Users can use cloud-typical added value via a web browser. Data sovereignty remains with you and the data cannot be viewed by other customers. If you opt for the SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, SAP offers a complete managed service. As a customer, you also have to participate in regular update cycles. The solution is particularly suitable for standardized process landscapes. Customization options are available within existing standards via the Business Technology Platform (BTP).
