COMPARE
SAP Public Cloud vs Private Cloud
| Consideration | Public Cloud | Private Cloud / RISE |
|---|---|---|
| Business fit | Organisations ready to adopt standard SAP Best Practice processes. | Established enterprises with complex processes and significant SAP investments. |
| Standardisation | High — fit-to-standard is the default design principle. | Flexible — standard processes where useful, business-specific design where justified. |
| Customisation | Through key-user and developer extensibility on approved interfaces. | Broader options, ideally governed by a clean-core extension strategy. |
| Migration options | Typically a new implementation with selected data migrated. | Greenfield, brownfield conversion or selective data transition. |
| Operational model | Multi-tenant SaaS operated by SAP. | Dedicated cloud ERP environment; responsibilities defined by the SAP contract. |
| Upgrade approach | SAP-scheduled, regular release cycles. | More control over upgrade timing within contractual terms. |
| Integration | Released APIs and SAP Integration Suite. | Released APIs, SAP BTP and existing enterprise interfaces. |
| Implementation considerations | Process adoption, change management and data quality. | Custom code, interface landscape, data volume and business continuity. |
| Total cost evaluation | Subscription plus implementation; evaluated case by case. | Subscription, transformation scope and custom-code effort; evaluated case by case. |
| AI readiness | Access to supported SAP Business AI capabilities, subject to licensing. | AI opportunities evaluated per product version, licensing, region and configuration. |
