SAP Solution: Cloud Computing

It is one of the most discussed topics in the SAP community: license costs for the SAP Cloud ERP Suite. SAP and the hyperscalers claim that cloud computing also brings savings for users. Statements by SAP CEO Christian Klein suggest otherwise.

I read more and more often - even from former companions - that cloud computing makes a software asset management (SAM) tool unnecessary. But how can a cloud function without management?

SAP CEO Christian Klein’s statement at the DSAG Annual Congress 2023 in Bremen proves that he wants “cloud only”; however, he has no concept behind it. Because “cloud only” does not mean that everyone is in the cloud; rather it means that there is only one version of it.

SAP users must convert to S/4 by 2027 or face paying expensive fees. At the same time, IT infrastructures should be converted to cloud computing to ensure companies fully use all the new possibilities.

The most common SAP integration scenarios are aimed at the efficient replication of data across different cloud platforms in near real-time, as well as the integration and automation of SAP processes.

There are currently many construction sites in the SAP realm. Misguided personnel and product policies have created numerous legacy issues. SAP CEO Christian Klein is working to rectify the situation.

Should existing customers now believe SAP that cloud computing is very attractive: Faith belongs in the church and the cloud is a bad cloud cuckoo land. But a good foundation is the guarantee for success.
