I would definitely recommend using SAP S/4HANA on AWS due to its reliability, performance, and other aspects that ensure a stable product with high availability. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
The database is quite easy to access, making it straightforward to gain insights into areas that need development in terms of business processes and identifying gaps. It is also essential to understand the skills requirements of your workforce. You need to assess where your SAP skills are lacking and where training is needed. The integration with AWS helps in understanding business requirements effectively. AWS offers modules such as the Analytical Cloud Module, which can be utilized to identify areas of leakage, track revenue sources, and measure productivity and machine efficiency. Implementing SAP S4HANA on AWS can be quite expensive, and a proper feasibility study is necessary. However, if you have the financial resources, it significantly assists in improving productivity, scaling your business, and enhancing the profitability and efficiency of your company. The AI integration is quite perfect. The recent developments we're using include HANA integrated with AI. AWS is emphasizing their analytical cloud, which allows us to draw AWS reports. They also have a Business Warehouse where you can store your information and then analyze it to create useful insights. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
SAP S4HANA is hosted not only in AWS but also on Azure or any other hosting environment. My company deals with all kinds of integration, including areas involving EC-ECP, ERP, course module integration, and internal integrations. With the support environment of AWS, I don't notice any problems. AWS just acts as a hosting environment, and then maybe if it is a very stable environment and from time to time there is some maintenance done, then it is good, and there won't be any problems. For my customers who have been using the tool for years, I haven't seen any issues, to be honest. Some issues were related to the integration part of the tool. Problems are meant to happen with different tools, but there is nothing serious with the tool. It is one of the perfect tools. There are not many many things that are announced about the product like in the case of Oracle. I haven't heard much about SAP ECP and whether they are going to integrate the features together. I have no idea of what is going on with SAP ECP and AI. I had used Google to find out more about AI in the tool, but it did not grab my attention. I believe that the AI part will be present in the product in a couple of days. The product is sold in Egypt and has been in use since 2016, but the support center was planned to be decommissioned. My company moved the support center from Egypt to India. My company was offered an opportunity to move to Oracle's support. SAP S4HANA database is very stable, especially when it comes to the in-memory database and so on. All in all, AWS, I moved to ECP. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
My advice to new users would be to consider implementing SAP S/4HANA on AWS, especially for companies of a similar scale to ours. It is important to sync with SAP for guidance, and it is a good idea given the size and needs of the company. Overall, I would rate SAP S4HANA on AWS as an eight out of ten.
I strongly encourage organizations that are not currently using SAP S4HANA on AWS to consider implementing this software as per their budget and planning. I rate SAP S4HANA on AWS a ten out of ten.
From a business process perspective, I would recommend that customers stick with the standard, which will help them to easily adopt the solution. AWS is a market leader and pioneer in realizing cloud concepts and is once step ahead of its peers. On a scale from one to ten, I would give SAP S4HANA on AWS an eight.
My advice to someone looking to implement this solution would be to just do it. I would rate this solution as a nine out of ten because it covers all the fields, has a big maturity, and has something other solutions are missing, which is speed.

When choosing a solution and you're completely new to ERPs and you're going out and doing analysis, what you're looking at is many factors, such as are you a Microsoft shop where you have Office365 with Outlook, Excel, and that's your standard company-wide solution. Then you're already really comfortable with Microsoft. You might go ahead and use Microsoft Azure for hosting and database management. You could be a shop that has always used IBM since mainframes and you just love IBM so you're going to stick with them. However, I have found Amazon AWS, they have a great reputation. This is very important to me. Each one of the hosting vendors has its own way to provide the service and has its pros and cons. You have to know how many people are going to be using it, and what's the cost per seat. You have to do a cost analysis because they have different pricing based on what you want to do. I rate SAP S4HANA on AWS a ten out of ten.
We are authorized to sell SAP. We only provide infrastructure licensing. If our client's company would like to deploy SAP S/4HANA on the cloud, then we provide the AWS infrastructure or Huawei infrastructure to clients to deploy. SAP B1 customers are not taking infrastructure from the cloud. They are directly taking the SAP B1 as a service on-premises. S/4HANA has separate modules that you can have on cloud models, and we do provide the cloud infrastructure to deploy S/4HANA. We use infrastructure as a service for SAP S/4HANA deployment, though AWS has a separate offering where you can have a platform as a service offering, meaning that they will provide the infrastructure and provide SAP. We highly recommend the solution to others and find that every year we have more and more clients implementing it. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

The advice that I would give to people who want to use S/4HANA on AWS is that a specific study needs to be involved in the implementation process. It is what we call a discovery session. The idea is to discover all the independent needs for the use of the product. This includes things like the size of the organization, the size of the industry, the number of users expected, the revenue, et cetera. It should also include projections into the future aspects of organic and inorganic growth. The budget may be the main issue for many organizations. The deployment plan should be created based on keeping all these discovered factors in mind. This can affect the deployment model or choices as to whether to go for SAP S/4HANA on the cloud, on-premises or if another ERP may be a better choice. But in any case, all the factors need to be taken into consideration. It is not a black and white decision. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate SAP S/4HANA as very near to a ten. Maybe nine because there is no competitor like SAP in the market right now to compare the product to and maybe there is room for improvement. I think that Oracle and Microsoft are looking to close the gap. But, looking at the current market share of SAP, it is at the top so it is near to a ten.

Planning is very important before undergoing an S4 implementation and upgrade. The functional components need to be planned and tested thoroughly. Otherwise, the lines will not be met. Try to do a Greenfield implementation because it will be much simpler. I would rate it an eight out of ten.
There should be the ability to deploy with clustering of different servers. They should add different types of advisory management. I would rate it an eight out of ten.
The advice I would give to someone who is looking into implementing this product is to wait for a year basically so the product will mature and stabilize. The company and the users will learn what the issues are that have been discovered by other people and then maybe it is OK to take on S/4HANA as a project. The project itself is going to take eight to nine months to get completely on HANA. If this part of your business is the backbone of your industry, you can not afford to make this kind of risk. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate the product overall as between a five and a six. Closer to a five at this point. The problems are that the GUI should be updated and the time needed for real user issues that will come up, be identified, and be rectified. Probably after that, you will start seeing the results with the product moving in the market and raising awareness and popularity. It is more of a wait-and-watch as of now in my estimation.

This solution is fantastic, and I fully recommend it as I recommend all SAP solutions. All of their products are good for SMEs or for large enterprises. From the functional side, there is very little room for improvement in this solution. There are always enhancements that can be made, of course. It is not easy to find people with knowledge of the HANA database. People skilled in HANA are rare and expensive, unlike Oracle, where you can find thousands of CVs for database administrators. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
SAP customers of all sizes can fully realize all the benefits of the SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition on the AWS Cloud. With SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition on the AWS Cloud you can:
Achieve faster time to value with the AWS on-demand infrastructure
Rapidly provision infrastructure for SAP S/4HANA with no upfront cost or long-term commitment
Pay for only what you need Don't spend upfront costs purchasing hardware for what you can't forecast
Test and evaluate SAP S/4HANA,...
