S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition named as leading ERP solution in Gartner report

S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition has been named in two separate reports as one of the world’s leading Cloud ERP solutions.

The solution was included as a market-leading application in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Cloud ERP for Product-Centric Enterprises and in its Magic Quadrant for Cloud ERP for Service-Centric Enterprises.

Jan Gilg, President and Chief Product Officer for Cloud ERP at SAP, says the recognition in separate reports reflects SAP’s “completeness of vision and ability to execute in the cloud ERP market”.

He added: “This is truly fantastic news, and I believe further underlines the impact cloud ERP has on service-centric and product-centric enterprises by fulfilling their current and future technology needs.”

Service-Centric Benefits

Within the Service-Centric report, Gartner says companies deploying an ERP solution expect to benefit from ‘more structured sets of process capabilities that produce better business outcomes’.

Within its evaluation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, the report lists the solution’s main strengths as being part of a wider modern technology portfolio from SAP that provides users with ‘comprehensive and advanced analytical capabilities’.

Companies can also benefit from SAP’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategy, including S/4HANA’s AI digital assistant, Joule, to leverage ERP-embedded AI features.

Finally, the report highlights how SAP’s extensive and international partner network, which provides implementation and support services, makes S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition a ‘strong contender’ for any type of business with a global footprint.

Product-Centric Benefits

In Gartner’s Product-Centric analysis, the report says companies within the sector expect an ERP solution to ‘orchestrate and automate’ core operational and administrative processes. It adds that by 2027, almost two-thirds of companies reviewing their systems will select a solution which aligns businesses processes, along with transactional capabilities, to deliver tailored outcomes.

The report considers SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition to be a market-leading solution and ‘caters to essential manufacturing and light assembly in various industries, including wholesale and distribution’.

When assessing the solution’s strengths, its core functionality and innovative roadmap empower users to streamline core tasks, become more sustainable, and increase business efficiencies, the report adds.

“We further feel that this recognition underscores our focus on delivering lean, responsive solutions that drive business transformation in the cloud.
