Question

Which deployment option do you recommend to customers who want to always be on the latest release of SAP S/4HANA?

1) SAP S/4HANA on-premise
2) SAP S/4HANA Finance
3) SAP S/4HANA Cloud
4) SAP S/4HANA with Central Finance

Answer 1

For customers wanting to maintain the most current version of SAP S/4HANA, SAP S/4HANA Cloud is the recommended option as it provides regular automatic updates and new features.

Step-by-step explanation:

If customers want to always be on the latest release of SAP S/4HANA, the recommended deployment option is SAP S/4HANA Cloud. This cloud-based solution is maintained by SAP, and customers benefit from regular updates, new features, and innovations without the need for manual upgrades. The on-premise version, on the other hand, is managed by the customer's IT team and would require manual updates, making it less suitable for those who wish to constantly have the latest version.

SAP S/4HANA Finance and SAP S/4HANA with Central Finance are specialized configurations focusing on financial processes and are not specifically linked to the frequency of updates. Therefore, for the requirement of staying up-to-date effortlessly, SAP S/4HANA Cloud would be the best fit.
