Unleash the power of an AI cloud ERP from SAP

Looking directly up at the skyline of the financial district in central London

Why use SAP on Cloud ERP?

SAP’s public cloud solution — SAP Cloud ERP (SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition) — is a ready-to-run cloud ERP complete with built-in automation, embedded AI, real-time reporting and robust business processes. It helps customers across manufacturing, services, consumer, retail, and regulated/public sector industries with a streamlined, scalable approach using leading business practices to gain an entry point to SAP Business Suite.

Since it’s delivered through a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, clients can take advantage of new functionality as it’s released while hosted on a highly scalable and secure cloud platform. This helps companies stay at the cutting edge of innovation and prepare for whatever challenges the future holds.

SAP Cloud ERP is an ideal fit for most mid-size companies, carve-outs, acquisitions, shared services, and organisations experiencing rapid growth. Many large clients also opt for so-called “two-tier” scenarios — running their core business on private cloud, while decentral, smaller subsidiaries or entities run on SAP’s public cloud.

Martin Paul: We will of course support our customers moving from ECC to S/4HANA until 2030 and beyond if needed, for sure. We will also focus much more on the business transformation aspect; we are not just a partner moving them technically from an old solution to a new solution. We also want to find the value in it of moving to S/4HANA. I think we try to be a role model in that. We moved globally to S/4HANA public cloud.

So, we went through this whole journey of transforming our business in adopting this solution. So, this is now something we want to use with our clients, in saying, if you want to move to a public cloud solution, to a standard solution, to a clean core at the end, you also have to adopt organisation processes and so on. There is a lot of value in doing that, because you’re more flexible, you’re more agile as an organisation, you’re easier to upgrade and so on. Right?

Neil Mortin: That’s right. And I think what is important is also that for our clients we have all the accreditations that are necessary. So, that allows us to be end-to-end what our customers are expecting. We are a RISE with SAP validated partner, we have the methodologies that are required, and I think in light of all of those credits that we carry, it’s important that in the end, we take the customer on that route to the cloud, without forgetting what they need now, and what the future of their strategy would look like.

How PwC helps you unlock more value from your SAP Cloud ERP implementation

A holistic approach to business transformation

With PwC, you receive support at every stage of the journey, from building a business case, to completing a fast, seamless implementation, to ongoing assistance helping you take advantage of new SAP Cloud ERP functionality as it’s released. This enables you to achieve scalable, sustainable growth on a timeline that is right for you, rather than a run-of-the-mill technology implementation. You don’t have to choose between settling for a starter ERP you’ll outgrow or overinvesting in complexity you don’t need yet. With our deep knowledge of industries, line of business functions, and tax and legal compliance, we provide a holistic approach to support every part of your business through the change so you can move faster, reduce risk, and scale without adding complexity.

Deployment assessment

Our deployment assessment helps determine whether SAP Cloud ERP is the right fit for your business. It can also identify potential implementation challenges and complexities, so that we can help you address them upfront, and achieve a smoother deployment by sticking to standard functionality as far as possible. We include this deployment assessment in every implementation. If a private cloud deployment is still a better option for your business, we will also advise on your transformation with SAP Cloud ERP Private.

Implementation and transformation

We help you achieve a fast, seamless implementation for SAP Cloud ERP that is accelerated using pre-built solutions and industry-specific deployment templates. Based on SAP Signavio Process Navigator we use cloud-native best practices to assess fit and you will benefit from many years of SAP and PwC industry experience. Rollout templates streamline the implementation across your organisation’s locations and subsidiaries. Our entire project delivery methodology uses AI to ensure quality and deliver time-to-value for your business.

Transform your business impact with data-driven AI

Unlock greater productivity and efficiency with AI-driven innovations that go beyond standard SAP Cloud ERP. And when you need more, we’ll design and deliver bespoke AI and extensions on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP Business AI tailored to your unique business needs.

Boost productivity with data and AI

We enable you to increase productivity and efficiency by providing AI and innovations over and above those included in SAP Business Suite base and premium packages. If you require further functionality, we can help you develop custom AI or solutions using SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).

Our accelerated delivery approach provides exceptional time-to-value

Our Cloud ERP Express solution is a unique offering that provides an entry point to SAP Business Suite across finance, supply chain, procurement, sales, and HR with PwC’s expertise and methodology to deliver superb time-to-value. Our delivery approach and methodology include process models, process documentation, process and industry related implementation accelerators, country and industry specific implementation scope. We help you implement a finance core using an accelerated method so you can go live in just a few weeks.

As your business grows and evolves, you can easily add additional functionality, users, or scope – across finance, procurement, sales, human resources and supply chain.
