Overall Satisfaction with SAP S/4HANA Cloud

At BOSCH, transitioning to the SAP S/4HANA Cloud is a key part of our roadmap, which we initiated in 2022. We’ve integrated SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud into our portfolio offerings for our Group Businesses (GBs) as an addition to our existing landscape. Additionally, we are currently evaluating RISE with SAP for our on-prem S/4HANA systems. We recognize the significant value in moving to the cloud, both in terms of staying relevant in the market and achieving cost benefits within our landscape. With the upcoming launch of Joule and the Business Data Cloud offering, we see substantial opportunities to leverage the data across our heterogeneous landscape, maximizing its potential for business growth and innovation.

Pros

  • Being Relevant
  • Integration Options
  • Better Decision making

Cons

  • Development towards business specific use-cases
  • A better model for quicker ROI on investments
  • A better model for quicker value delivery
  • Delayed value delivery make the journey difficult but at the same time the journey is for real and the sooner we start the better for the business
The ROI is still an area that needs to be considered, overall the offerings are good and quite competitive.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Ease of Use
  • Other
Cost of implementation and ROI
We are actively exploring business use cases where SAP S/4HANA Cloud’s embedded AI and Joule AI Agents can deliver clear ROI. Areas like predictive accounting, automated invoice matching, and exception handling in order-to-cash show strong potential for reducing manual workload and improving cycle times. Joule’s conversational insights also present opportunities to simplify user experience and accelerate decision-making.
At this stage, we’re evaluating pilots that can quantify tangible outcomes such as FTE savings, process accuracy, and productivity benefits before scaling across functions. Our focus is to ensure AI adoption is tied directly to measurable business value rather than technology for its own sake.

Do you think SAP Cloud ERP delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with SAP Cloud ERP's feature set?

Yes

Did SAP Cloud ERP live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of SAP Cloud ERP go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SAP Cloud ERP again?

Yes

From my experience, SAP S/4HANA Cloud is particularly well suited for organizations seeking rapid deployment, standardized global processes, and strong governance. For example, multi-country rollouts in shared services or greenfield transformations benefit greatly from predefined best practices and continuous innovation. It’s also ideal when scalability and predictable TCO are priorities.
However, it becomes less appropriate in scenarios demanding highly complex custom developments, heavy legacy integrations, or deeply industry-specific processes that deviate significantly from standard SAP capabilities. In such cases, on-premise or private cloud options provide the necessary flexibility and control.
