SAP’s public cloud solution — SAP Cloud ERP (formerly SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition) — is a ready-to-run enterprise management solution complete with built-in automation, embedded AI, real-time reporting and robust business processes. It helps customers across multiple industries use a streamlined, scalable approach and standard business processes to gain an entry point to SAP Autonomous Suite.
Since it’s delivered through a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, you can take advantage of new functionality as it’s released while hosted on a highly scalable and secure cloud platform. This helps you 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.
SAP’s vision for the future of business is the Autonomous Enterprise, where AI automates core business processes while humans steer, oversee, and enforce governance and compliance at every step.
We’re here to support you during this journey. We help you deploy game-changing AI at much lower cost. Our method uses existing and newly released AI assistants, agents and solutions from SAP and our proprietary technology wherever possible. This means that you only invest in building bespoke capabilities when they’re not available in the standard portfolio and they generate incremental value through differentiation.
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 functionality as it’s released, including new AI agents and assistants. 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, audit, 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, strengthen compliance, and scale without adding complexity.
As SAP works towards the Autonomous Enterprise vision, it’s releasing numerous AI agents and assistants. We enable you to go a step beyond other SAP customers – providing additional custom AI and innovations over and above standard SAP functionality so you can further increase productivity and efficiency.
If you require additional functionality, we’ll design and deliver custom AI and extensions tailored to your unique business needs using SAP Business AI Platform.
Accurate, comprehensive data is essential to unlocking the potential of AI and future-proofing your business. We help you build a trusted data foundation using SAP Business Data Cloud, which provides a central place for all enterprise data – structured and unstructured, SAP and non-SAP – and build a data strategy fit for today and tomorrow.
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 advise on your transformation with SAP Cloud ERP Private.
We help you achieve a fast, seamless implementation for SAP Cloud ERP that is accelerated using pre-built solutions and industry-specific deployment templates. We assess fit by combining our many years of SAP and industry experience with solutions like SAP Signavio Process Navigator and SAP LeanIX. Our rollout templates streamline the implementation across your organisation’s locations and subsidiaries. Our entire project delivery methodology uses AI to ensure quality and deliver value, fast.
