What are the key objectives for modern enterprises? Irrespective of the size and business model, every company wants to gain a competitive advantage by achieving two goals- streamlining processes for steady growth and maintaining operational cost to a minimum. Extensive user engagement can enable companies to achieve steady growth whereas reducing operational cost is possible by switching to the cloud.
Today, businesses have started leveraging the benefits of cloud computing by integrating user-optimized and sophisticated cloud apps in their system. Such cloud-based apps benefit startups, SMEs, and large enterprises alike as they offer cloud storage thereby eliminating the need for large IT infrastructure and higher operational costs. The software development company can build cloud apps from scratch for meeting various needs.
Importance of Cloud-based Apps in Corporate Sector
Cloud-based apps can enhance customer satisfaction and increase customer loyalty. These apps can effectively boost new sales and acquisition. But, the bigger benefits of such apps in the corporate world include a reduction in IT and maintenance costs, enhanced operational efficiency, and improved performance. As companies have gradually shifted their focus from in-house IT infrastructure to outsourcing services, the offshore development company can offer more professional and highly optimized services for cloud app development.
Considering the SMEs and startups, they have constraints of budget and resources. They just cannot afford to establish a robust IT infrastructure. There, the cloud solutions from SAP can lend a helping hand by addressing their diverse needs and complexities. A recent IDC report has mentioned that focusing on the right resource and workforce has remained the biggest challenge for many businesses globally. SAP Cloud solutions can assist businesses to address operational difficulties by bringing automation and increasing IT capabilities.
Let’s dig deep into the cloud strategy and the SAP platform’s role.
Introduction to SAP HANA Cloud Platform
SAP is known for offering robust and reliable ERP and other enterprise-friendly solutions. It has successfully extended its ecosystem of highly customized and seamlessly-running enterprise apps. In this process, SAP had integrated many aspects of emerging technologies like cloud, Big Data, mobility, and social platforms. As a result, SAP solutions have always maintained agility and business-specific characteristics. SAP HANA Cloud platform is another integrated enterprise platform from SAP with all these attributes.
