What is S/4 HANA Cloud?
The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) version of the SAP S/4HANA ERP system is the SAP S/4HANA Cloud. It is a suite of integrated business applications which allow company resources to be planned according to the company’s needs. This suite is also available with SAP S/4HANA Cloud as cloud ERP applications.
The SAP S/4HANA Cloud was first introduced in February 2017 as the’ intelligent ERP system of the modern generation.’ The provider offers businesses a solution that does not rely on their own resources, such as internal hardware, databases, and IT expertise, with an ERP framework as a cloud-based software version.
Users can connect their departments and functional areas digitally, digitize their business processes, and thus more quickly respond to new trends in growth.
The SAP S/4HANA Cloud runs on the SAP HANA in-memory database. This high-performance analysis program, which was only available in conjunction with different hardware prior to the SAP cloud solution, uses artificial intelligence, among other things, to analyze vast volumes of data.
The development and integration platform’s in-memory technology enables users to access their data quicker and “in real time” to speed up processes.
