SAP’s cloud portfolio continues to evolve, introducing new deployment options, commercial models, and naming conventions that can be difficult to interpret across planning, execution, and post-go-live phases. This pre-conference session offers a comprehensive review of SAP’s cloud landscape and examines similarities and differences across delivery models, commercial frameworks, and operating responsibilities. 

Key learning objectives: 

• Clearly differentiate SAP Cloud ERP Public and SAP Cloud ERP Private, including architecture, extensibility boundaries, innovation cadence, and standardization expectations.
• Understand what RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP represent from a commercial and operating model standpoint, and how each aligns to specific deployment paths.
• Translate legacy and informal terminology into SAP’s current naming conventions used in contracts, delivery models, and product roadmaps.
• Identify the organizational, regulatory, customization, data, and integration factors that typically drive one cloud option over another.
• Understand how operational responsibilities shift across cloud models, including ownership of upgrades, maintenance, security, and system availability.
