Deployable on premise or in the cloud, SAP S/4HANA drives instant value across all lines of business – no matter of industry or business size. It is a comprehensive solution that digitally transforms your organization into a unified entity by consolidating internal and external elements harmoniously.
Connect your processes, access operational analytics in real-time and drive growth with digital transformation by becoming an Intelligent Enterprise.
The Digital Core
The digital core of SAP S/4HANA helps companies embark on the digital transformation with ease. It offers unification for all your operations while ensuring greater protection. It delivers long term business value while helping you scale both short term and long term benchmarks through operational expenditure optimization and increased productivity.

Different businesses have different needs meaning that deployment for each company would be different from the next. There are certain who would like to migrate to a totally different environment (greenfield implementation), while others would prefer to stick to what they know best and reuse existing components (brownfield). The adoption and customization of your business’ exclusive digital core depends on a host of factors including resources, company goals, urgency and budget.
