Modular concept of SAP S/4HANA Cloud
SAP S/4HANA Cloud has a modular concept. Customers might want to start their public cloud journey somewhere and expand overtime.

LABS preview – Two-Tier-ERP based on a single codeline with multiple deployment options
And one special topic which is key for our clients in respect to their ERP landscape TCO, and the two-tier ERP approach.
Many companies still have a patchwork of ERP solutions across their business. Rationalizing these applications can deliver economies of scale via global standardization. As SAP S/4HANA’s code line and platform are similar for cloud and on premise, it is naturally offering a best-in-class two-tier ERP landscape. Just to name a few key advantages: A consistent data model and taxonomy between our cloud and on-premise applications, a single user experience, and native integration.
For a Two-Tier ERP, the combinations are endless. We are showing here one option where the manufacturing plants run their local finance and consolidate on the headquarter level, whereas the manufacturing, inventory process run locally only. This approach would equally apply for example to Warehouse Management or to Retail processes.
