S/4 HANA On-Premise Edition:


On-premise edition is an internal platform, located on your servers, maintained by your company. SAP upgrades are released annually but have to be implemented and tested by your team. Deployment and maintenance is implemented and managed by the IT staff of a customer.

S/4 HANA Cloud edition is Software as a Service (SaaS) hosted on SAP’s servers and is maintained by SAP. Software upgrades happen quarterly.

 

The cloud version is available to enterprises in both private and public editions. While private cloud comprises complete S/4HANA functionality and also extends geographical reach, the public cloud helps address challenges in the LOB, overall strategy and ERP. System infrastructure and maintenance are under SAP’s control.

SAP S/4 HANA on-premise edition is suited for any industry enterprises which require a full range of features consolidated with highly flexible customization. This edition is perfect for large enterprises with very well-proven business processes.


For large, well-known enterprises, the on-premise platform fits the most. The system located on the company’s server provides opportunities for more effective monitoring and configuration than cloud edition.

Who can choose SAP S/4HANA Cloud Edition


Middle size companies who look for a light and flexible database platform to scale while growing should consider SAP S/4HANA cloud edition for their businesses.
