A newly published book sheds light on SAP's cloud strategy.
If you look at the software landscape of German companies, SAP is well represented. It is true that much of what comes out of the system forge in Walldorf has a slightly dusty image. At the same time, however, SAP products epitomise consistency, reliability and development strength. This impression paints a very steadfast picture. This makes it all the more important for SAP to loosen it up a little and make it lighter. Easy to take off - into the SAP Cloud.
SAP Cloud - a strategy
For over 13 years, a „cloud strategy“ has been tinkered with and refined. And a lot has happened with SAP's offerings. The results are summarised in the book „SAP Cloud“. The authors dedicate a full 460 pages to topics such as native public cloud offerings or SAP Business ByDesign, but also On premise-products such as the Cloud in Business One.
But not only the individual products are explained. The authors also introduce the topic of the cloud by explaining SAP's position in this area right at the beginning. They also shed light on fundamental questions about cloud computing. To ensure that everything is understandable for both cloud gurus and cloud beginners, the application scenarios are illustrated using case studies. However, little attention is paid to the technical aspects, which should not be overlooked when seriously planning a switch to the cloud.
In addition to showcasing individual products, „SAP Cloud“ also pays significant attention to the sensitive topic of cloud and security. Here, the authors become quite specific and demonstrate with an example what security measures can look like. It is also explained in detail how an SAP cloud solution is implemented.
A good overview of the SAP Cloud
In actual fact, the hefty tome brilliantly illuminates, all in all, how to become „light as a feather“ with SAP. Especially for beginners and disgruntled users of the „heavy“ systems, „SAP Cloud“ offers a good insight. Furthermore, the book provides many excellent approaches for implementing a cloud project with an SAP product. However, if you are seriously considering the cloud, an expert must be consulted, particularly regarding technical aspects.
