Future of SAP ERP and Transition to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud

For decades, SAP’s ERP systems have been the backbone of enterprise operations — from the early days of R/3 and ECC to today’s SAP S/4HANA era. Now, the future of ERP is shifting decisively to the cloud.

This course explores how SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud is redefining enterprise IT. More than just a technical upgrade, the public cloud represents a new operating model that delivers agility, continuous innovation, and reduced IT overhead.

I will cover the trajectory of SAP ERP’s evolution, explain why cloud ERP is the strategic direction for SAP and the broader market, and highlight the core features of S/4HANA Public Cloud — from its SaaS delivery model and quarterly release cycles to its fit-to-standard approach, extensibility, and scalability. You’ll also learn about transition strategies, including the role of RISE with SAP in enabling a smooth journey to the cloud.

By the end of this course, you will understand not only why SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud is the future, but also how businesses can embrace it as a foundation for digital transformation.
