SAP S/4HANA — The Intelligent ERP for the Modern Enterprise
SAP's next-generation cloud ERP suite — built on in-memory computing, embedded AI, and real-time analytics. Whether you choose RISE with SAP (Private Cloud) or GROW with SAP (Public Cloud), iStrat guides your full transformation journey.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud — RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP
Two Paths to S/4HANA Cloud. One Trusted Partner.
SAP offers two cloud deployment models for S/4HANA. iStrat helps you choose the right path and executes the full migration.
RISE with SAP
S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition — The transformation-as-a-service path for organizations with existing SAP investments, complex processes, or regulated industry requirements. Single-tenant, fully managed private cloud on your preferred hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud). Full S/4HANA scope, complete customization flexibility, and legacy ECC migration support. Controlled update schedule so you manage change at your own pace.
GROW with SAP
S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition — The fast-track cloud ERP for growing mid-market organizations adopting SAP for the first time or standardizing operations. Multi-tenant SaaS, managed entirely by SAP, with quarterly innovation updates and embedded AI via SAP Joule. Lower total cost of ownership, rapid deployment, and built-in SAP best practices — ideal for greenfield implementations.
SAP S/4HANA On-Premise
For organizations requiring complete infrastructure control. Full S/4HANA functionality deployed in your own data centre or private infrastructure. iStrat manages the full implementation lifecycle from blueprint to go-live.
SAP ends mainstream maintenance for ECC in 2027. The migration window is open — but closing.
The 2027 ECC Support Sunset — Act Now
If your organization is running SAP ECC, the clock is ticking. SAP has confirmed that mainstream maintenance for SAP Business Suite 7 (including ECC) ends in 2027. Organizations that delay risk running unsupported systems, increasing security exposure, and losing access to innovation. iStrat's ECC-to-S/4HANA migration practice covers the full journey: readiness assessment, custom code remediation, data migration strategy, process standardisation, hyperscaler selection, and go-live execution — for both RISE (Private Cloud) and GROW (Public Cloud) pathways. The organizations that start now will have time to do it right. Those that wait will be forced into rushed, high-risk migrations.
Why S/4HANA Transforms Your Business
S/4HANA is not just an ERP upgrade. It is a reimagining of how your enterprise operates.
In-Memory Computing
SAP HANA's in-memory database eliminates data latency. Real-time analytics, instant reporting, and live operational intelligence — without separate data warehouses or overnight batch runs.
Embedded AI with SAP Joule
SAP's AI assistant Joule is integrated across S/4HANA, enabling natural language queries, intelligent process automation, predictive analytics, and role-based recommendations — directly inside the workflows your team already uses.
Unified Business Processes
Finance, supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, sales, and HR — all connected in a single in-memory system. Eliminate data silos and get a single source of truth across your entire enterprise.
SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)
Extend S/4HANA with custom apps, API integrations, workflow automation, and AI models via SAP BTP. Connect your SAP core to the broader enterprise ecosystem — including the iStrat AI Business Platform.
The intelligent operations layer on top of your S/4HANA investment.
iStrat AI Business Platform + S/4HANA
The iStrat AI Business Platform complements your S/4HANA environment — adding AI-native workforce management, client intelligence, gate and fleet operations, procurement automation, and advanced financial processing in a unified platform. Organizations running S/4HANA can connect the iStrat Platform as an operational intelligence layer — extending SAP's core capabilities into day-to-day business operations without additional SAP module licensing.
