Enterprise resource planning systems have revolutionized; we are now in the age of fast and advanced cloud ERP solutions, eliminating the need for expensive hardware and software investments.
Businesses now rely more on cloud-based services, allowing them to implement a streamlined and effective ERP system that saves them extra effort in the long run and speeds up everyday tasks with greater accuracy.
Axxis Consulting is a leading SAP software partner in Singapore and Malaysia that can help you streamline your business needs through SAP S/4HANA Cloud Services.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
SAP S/4HANA Cloud is a next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that knocks down barriers to digital transformation with its intelligent capabilities and enables companies to run integrated and intelligent digital businesses in real time.
It’s an advanced business management suite hosted on the cloud that employs the latest technologies, including AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics, catering to the needs of all kinds of businesses and streamlining their everyday tasks.
SAP S/4 HANA Cloud is based on the SAP HANA (High-performance Analytic Appliance) database, eliminating its dependency on external databases. This ground-breaking database is designed uniquely to track information and data without consuming as much capacity as traditional ones.
SAP HANA is an in-memory database that stores all its data in RAM rather than on a conventional hard disk. It has helped speed up the processes and improve the real-time performance most organizations anticipate from their ERP.
Benefits of SAP S/4HANA Cloud for Your Organization
SAP S/4HANA offers numerous benefits and helps cut down the cost of operation for businesses with increased productivity.
1. Fast Implementation
One of the primary advantages of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is its ability to facilitate faster implementation times. This is primarily due to the cloud-based principles that underlie the solution. Reducing configuration time and using a guided configuration process speeds up the build phase, while new testing tools and intuitive SAP Fiori screens simplify the testing and training phases.
You don’t have to convert your system if you already use SAP ECC (ERP Central Component). Instead, you can migrate your data using pre-made scripts and templates provided by Axxis — a welcome benefit for any organization.

2. Reduced Maintenance Cost
Businesses now do not need to hire an IT team to keep up with the maintenance and updates of their ERP solution. SAP S/4HANA Cloud allows enterprises to move away from bare metal infrastructures requiring frequent upgrades with colossal effort.
Transitioning to the SAP S/4HANA cloud will entail the establishment of a novel contractual arrangement. This involves an annual subscription incorporating core licenses, solution hosting, and box-level support from the well-experienced Axxis Consulting team. Tasks such as back-ups and performance monitoring are encompassed within the subscription, enabling the customer to concentrate on their business instead of system management.
3. Accelerated Analytical Insights
S/4HANA operates on the HANA in-memory database, significantly improving performance. Its intelligent data design reduces aggregate tables and data redundancy, enhancing efficiency. The conventional approach of storing data in a data warehouse and waiting for it to load is replaced by the core ERP system’s provision of analytics and expedited insights.
Moreover, the coexistence of business transactions and analytics capabilities within the same system speeds up decision-making processes. This allows businesses to execute business processes efficiently and make informed decisions within a unified application, utilizing a single source of reliable information without switching between diverse systems and applications. Such a feature presents a tremendous advantage in productivity and time savings.
4. Flexible Integration
SAP S/4HANA Cloud provides a high degree of flexibility regarding integration. While it is a powerful enterprise resource planning (ERP) tool, it is not meant to replace every tool in an organization’s technology stack. Instead, the product offers a range of APIs enabling seamless integration with other systems, such as Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and Field Service Management (FSM).
Organizations can use the SAP HCP (HANA Cloud Platform) for highly specialized needs to create bespoke applications that cannot be achieved within the S/4HANA Cloud edition. This approach avoids the need to customize the core S/4HANA system.
Additionally, the out-of-the-box integration between SAP’s cloud products simplifies building and managing integration points, ultimately reducing the time required for integration-related activities.
How Much Does SAP S/4HANA Cloud Cost?
The cost of SAP S/4HANA Cloud depends on factors like the complexity of business requirements, the number of users requiring support, the type of interface needed, etc.
This service can be availed of under three different licensing models:
- Perpetual license
- Subscription license
- Consumption-based term license

Whereas the private cloud service will dedicate a private server for the consumer. It’s important to note that despite the private SAP cloud, our experts remain responsible for system maintenance. A private cloud can get you perpetual or subscription-based software licenses.

I. Design Planning
Once you have selected the suitable ERP interface for your business, our team will work on all the requirements and get back to you with templates for your software to ensure it meets all your needs.
You can also ask for multiple revisions until you get what you anticipate. This step will be done in multiple stages before it is finalized and rolled out to the development team.
II. Development
After you have decided and communicated what you need, our team of experts will get to work and prepare a solution to meet your business needs and help digitize it.

A crucial step in implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud is to train the employees of your business and show them how to work around the software, as they are the key players who will be operating it regularly.
IV. Migration
Once the user is trained, and the system is set up, it’s time to migrate the data and processes from the existing system to the newly developed cloud ERP. The migration process includes configuring SAP S/4HANA Cloud from the imported data to align with the needs of the business.
V. Testing and Deployment
The final stages of implementation require testing to make sure everything is in order before it’s launched. If all goes well, the solution will be deployed to the entire organization.
