What unique consideration is made for a system conversion to an SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud?

The consideration that is most relevant for a system conversion to an SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud pertains to the nature of the cloud deployment itself. In this scenario, the public cloud environment is designed primarily for standardized solutions. As part of this standardization, the public cloud does not permit full customization of the system during the migration process.

In contrast to on-premise editions, which may allow for greater customization and flexibility tailored to specific business processes, the public cloud model focuses on delivering a more uniform solution across customers. Consequently, migrating to the public cloud typically requires moving from an existing version of SAP that aligns with the cloud's capabilities, emphasizing the need for compliance with the specific version requirements and transformation of business processes to fit the cloud's standard functionalities.

This unique intended structure leads to specific conditions under which organizations can transition to the SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, emphasizing the necessity to align closely with the public cloud standards and minimizing extensive changes during the migration process.
