Updated: Feb 6

For 50 years, SAP has been working hand in hand with customers across every industry and using this expertise to benchmark and define best-in-class, industry-specific processes. This initiative resulted in two major products that can be deployed as the Cloud ERP core for any organization: SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition.

SAP S/4HANA is the next generation of the SAP business suite software. SAP S/4HANA enterprise software is the digital core of many organizations and is designed to run an Intelligent and sustainable Enterprise. The Intelligent Enterprise, feeds data into intelligent analytics, which in turn feeds process automation and innovation. SAP S/4HANA is integration-ready and includes capabilities within the applications to easily make extensions and customizations to tailor the solution to your needs.
