Cloud-Based ERP Solutions

“𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝑺𝑨𝑷 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑴𝒆?” 𝑨 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 & 𝑾𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝑪𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒓’𝒔 𝑫𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒎𝒂 Last week, I had an interesting conversation with a customer who was eager to embark on their SAP S/4HANA journey but was completely overwhelmed by the options. “Vishal should we go for RISE with SAP, GROWwithSAP, or just implement SAP S/4HANA? And what about Public Cloud vs. Private Cloud editions?” Their business was growing rapidly, they needed scalability, but at the same time, they weren’t sure if a full-fledged transformation was necessary. They had heard of these solutions but weren’t clear on how they aligned with their goals. I broke it down for them: ✅ RISE with SAP – Ideal for large enterprises or those undergoing digital transformation. It’s a bundled offering that includes SAP S/4HANA Cloud (Private or Public), business process intelligence, and SAP BTP for flexibility. Perfect for companies moving from legacy systems in a structured way while keeping control over transformation. ✅ GROW with SAP – Tailored for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) looking to scale quickly. It provides a fast-track approach to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud with predefined best practices. If you need a standardized, SaaS-based solution with rapid deployment, this is your best bet. ✅ SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud – A multi-tenant SaaS ERP that is highly standardized and best suited for businesses that want lower TCO, automatic updates, and best practices out-of-the-box. Ideal if you’re looking for a lean, agile ERP with minimal customization. ✅ SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition (PCE) – A single-tenant, managed cloud ERP offering flexibility and control while keeping it on SAP management infrastructure. This is great if you need customization, more control over upgrades, and industry-specific solutions while still benefiting from a cloud model. ✅ SAP S/4HANA (On-Premise or Any Cloud) – The flagship ERP suite, offering deep functionalities across finance, supply chain, and manufacturing. If your goal is to modernize your ERP while keeping it on your own infrastructure or a hyperscaler (Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, Huawei Cloud) this is your answer. After aligning their needs with these offerings, they had a clear path forward. We identified that GROW with SAP was the best fit; it provided the agility they needed while ensuring a smooth transition to SAP S/4HANA Cloud. This conversation reminded me how crucial it is to simplify SAP’s ecosystem for businesses. The right SAP solution depends on where you are in your journey, your growth ambitions, and how much transformation you’re ready to embrace.

📱 The ‘Apple vs. Android’ Moment in ERP: SAP’s Bold Bet on Public Cloud For years, ERP customers have had one main priority—flexibility. Customization was the gold standard. The more tailored your ERP, the better. But SAP is making a bold bet—that the future of ERP is not about customization, but about speed, agility, and continuous innovation. 💡 This is shaping up to be the ‘Apple vs. Android’ moment in ERP. 🔹 SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud (Apple-like) – Standardized, continuously updated, and highly optimized, but with limited customization. 🔹 SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud (Android-like) – More flexible, deeper customization, but also more complex and responsibility-heavy. How Do They Compare? Feature SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud Customization Limited – Designed for best practices High – Tailored to unique business needs Upgrades Automatic, always up-to-date Customer-managed, upgrade cycles required Implementation Speed Faster – Pre-configured business processes Slower – More design and configuration needed Total Cost of Ownership Lower – No infrastructure or major upgrades required Higher – More maintenance, customization costs Flexibility Standardized processes, less variation Greater control over configurations and extensions Scalability Built for rapid scaling with SAP innovation Scalable but requires IT effort to maintain AI & Automation Embedded AI-driven automation, analytics, and best practices AI and automation possible but requires additional effort 🚀 SAP is betting big on Public Cloud—not just as a cost-saving measure, but as a way to future-proof businesses. Customers who embrace standardization and automation will gain agility, resilience, and continuous innovation. But for those with deep industry-specific needs, Private Cloud remains a strong option—offering the best of SAP S/4HANA with customization flexibility. The Big Question for Businesses: 💡 Do you prioritize agility, automation, and continuous innovation (Public Cloud)? 💡 Or do you require deep flexibility and control (Private Cloud)? At ASAR Digital, we help businesses navigate this decision and implement SAP the right way. What’s the best ERP model for your business? Let’s discuss. 👇
