Through its RISE with SAP offering, SAP gives customers a rapid transition to the cloud. This offering combines SAP S/4HANA Cloud with complementary SAP services to support companies in their digital transformation. This transformation takes place in three steps: redesigning processes, technical migration, and building the intelligent enterprise.
S/4HANA On-Premise
With SAP S/4HANA On-Premise, the customer manages the S/4HANA system, the HANA database, applications, data center, operating systems, middleware, and network on-premises. The customer is also responsible for maintenance and development. This allows for maximum flexibility. In this variant, the customer is responsible for adapting the software to company-specific requirements, controlling the frequency and scheduling of upgrades, and installing support packages.
S/4HANA Hybrid
In principle, a combination of S/4HANA Cloud and S/4HANA On-Premise is also possible. This is referred to as a hybrid approach. Companies can run selected processes, such as core processes, locally on their own servers with SAP S/4HANA On-Premise. Other processes that do not require individual adaptation can be outsourced to the cloud.
