Whether you choose SAP EWM Public Cloud or SAP EWM Private Cloud depends on your specific business requirements, IT resources and budget considerations. A careful evaluation of these factors will help you in your decision-making process. Furthermore, hybrid approaches that combine the advantages of both solutions are available.
SAP EWM Public Cloud is provided in a cloud environment (managed by SAP and shared by several customers). The most important characteristics of this solution:
Small and medium-sized enterprises benefit from cost efficiency and fast implementation.
The SAP EWM Private Cloud is provided in a dedicated SAP cloud environment. It is reserved exclusively for your company. Advantages of the solution:
• Greater adaptability: Companies can strongly customise SAP EWM in the private cloud to support special warehouse and business processes.
• Data control: The private cloud environment belongs exclusively to your company. This gives you full control over the physical security and storage of your data.
• Higher costs: The private cloud generally requires a higher initial investment and higher operating expenses for infrastructure and maintenance.
• Duration of implementation: It may take longer to implement than the public cloud, because more individual adaptations are required.
Does your company have special requirements? Do you have sensitive data and need full control over its security? If yes, the private cloud is the best choice.
