SAP S/4HANA Private

Moving to the cloud via system conversion or a new implementation.

• Moving to the cloud at your own pace, aligned with the organization's transformation.
• Conversion of an existing SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA on-premise system to a compatible release.
• Alternative: a new implementation on a "clean landscape".
• Modernizing the approach to extensions toward a stable "clean core".
• Preparing for fit-to-standard workshops and organizing the requirements backlog.
• Cutover plan and organizational readiness as part of the Deploy phase.

Connecting Private Edition with other systems and monitoring integrations.

• A library of APIs, events and connectors in the SAP Business Accelerator Hub.
• Prepackaged integrations and integration content tailored to Private Edition.
• A side-by-side approach: integrations and extensions handled outside the core.
• Monitoring and alerts supporting business continuity in SAP Cloud ALM.
• An integrated view of the SAP landscape running on different technologies.
• Integration stability through separating extensions from the core layer.

In-app and side-by-side extensibility to keep the core stable.

• In-app: changes and extensions within the application (front-end or back-end).
• Key user extensibility: minor changes in SAP Fiori with no development experience required.
• Developer extensibility: ABAP in a cloud-ready, upgrade-stable model, on "released" objects.
• Classic extensibility remains available, alongside the "ABAP for Cloud Development" option.
• Side-by-side: extensions on a separate platform, communicating through integrations.
• Separating extensions from the core makes upgrades easier without affecting the Client's changes.

Managing the release cycle, upgrades and ongoing work.

• Private Edition is based on SAP S/4HANA on-premise hosted in the SAP private cloud.
• The same release cycle as SAP S/4HANA on-premise (every two years).
• A requirement to update at least once every 7 years to maintain mainstream maintenance.
• Updates carried out at the organization's own pace; SAP supports the technical upgrade activities.
• Reducing upgrade risk by separating extensions from the core.
• Run phase: assessing the novelty and business value of subsequent changes after go-live.

SAP Cloud ALM for implementation, operations and the connection to SAP support.

• Implementation: a preconfigured workspace and guidance through the project.
• Managing implementation, testing and deployment according to SAP Activate.
• Operations: a central point for managing the entire SAP landscape.
• Proactive monitoring and alerts supporting business continuity.
• Service section: direct connection to SAP support services.
• Monitoring for Private Edition based on a PUSH mechanism to SAP Cloud ALM.
