SAP EWM Cloud
What is the difference between SAP EWM public and private Cloud?
Whether you choose a SAP EWM public or private cloud depends on your specific business requirements, IT resources, and budget considerations. How you choose to house your warehouse management software requires careful evaluation of several factors.
SAP EWM Public Cloud
SAP EWM public cloud is provided in a cloud environment (service managed by SAP and shared by multiple clients). The Public Cloud solution has several key characteristics:
- Cost efficiency: Public cloud offers an affordable opportunity to use SAP EWM. SAP provides the infrastructure (security), maintenance, and updates, reducing investment and operating expenses.
- Scalability: Companies can scale resources by adapting to changes in warehouse operations during seasonal peaks.
- Implementation: Setup is generally faster than private cloud or on-premises implementation because many of the basics are already in place, and services can be activated quickly.
- Data sovereignty: Since your data is hosted in SAP Public Cloud, you can decide which country and data center it is stored in.
- Limited adaptation: Public cloud offers less customization than the private cloud option.
Small- and medium-sized enterprises benefit from cost efficiency and fast implementation.
SAP EWM Private Cloud
The SAP EWM Private Cloud is a dedicated SAP cloud environment reserved exclusively for your company. A private cloud solution is characterized by:
- Greater adaptability: Companies can strongly customize SAP EWM in the private cloud to support special warehouse and business processes.
- Data control: Your company's private cloud environment belongs exclusively to your company, giving you full control over your company’s data, including its security and storage.
- Higher costs: A private cloud generally requires a higher initial investment for infrastructure and maintenance.
- Duration of implementation: A private cloud may take longer to implement than a public cloud option.
Companies with more complex logistics benefit the most from private cloud services because they offer a high degree of autonomy.
