Many organizations reach a stage where their systems cannot keep up with changing operational demands. Release cycles slow down, custom code becomes harder to maintain, and testing windows stretch. SAP Cloud ERP Private gives these companies a controlled cloud environment that preserves core system behavior while removing infrastructure constraints.

SAP Cloud ERP Private is the current name for SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition. Companies choose it when they need to keep existing configurations and industry-specific logic during migration. It supports Brownfield and Bluefield paths, which helps enterprises modernize their ERP without discarding the process structures that run their business.

Full control over configurations and custom code

Retain essential extensions and adjust technical components at your own pace.

Flexible update scheduling

Plan upgrades around internal testing cycles instead of mandatory quarterly releases.

Choice of cloud infrastructure

Run the system on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or another certified provider.

Lifecycle ownership

Manage HANA, OS, and system settings with the same depth as on-premises systems.

Safe extension model via SAP BTP

Build new capabilities and use AI or ML functionality without affecting the core system.

Core element of RISE with SAP

Private Edition serves as the main S/4HANA deployment option within the RISE program.

Heavily regulated enterprises

Your industry mandates strict data sovereignty and validated systems. A private cloud instance provides a controlled environment for compliance audits. It allows you to demonstrate exact system governance.

Companies with unique process flows

Your competitive advantage is embedded in custom-built logistics or manufacturing workflows. This model lets you migrate those unique processes without redesigning them for a public cloud template. Your specialized operations remain intact.

Businesses managing long test cycles

Your product lifecycle or integration landscape requires months of validation. Mandatory quarterly updates are an operational hazard. Here, you control the update calendar to align with your own release schedule.

Organizations with a hyperscaler strategy

You have existing commitments and deep technical familiarity with a specific cloud infrastructure. This solution lets you run SAP S/4HANA on your preferred platform, such as AWS or Azure, unifying your IT landscape.

Organizations planning Brownfield or Bluefield migrations

Firms that want to migrate from SAP ECC or on-premises S/4HANA without losing existing process logic benefit from structured migration paths. Private Cloud supports phased transitions with minimal operational disruption.

Firms protecting a stable core

You need to innovate with AI and analytics without destabilizing your mission-critical ERP. The integration with SAP BTP lets you build new extensions in isolation. As a result, your core system is left undisturbed.

25–30%

TCO reduction

Transitioning from CapEx to OpEx under the RISE framework reduces the total cost of ownership by roughly 25–30% compared to managing local infrastructure. The cloud model lowers hardware, maintenance, and upgrade expenses while simplifying IT management.

100%

update control

You have full autonomy to determine when to apply S/4HANA updates. There are no mandatory quarterly upgrades. This allows your IT team to align system changes with your business's specific product launch and financial reporting calendars.

Near-zero

downtime

Advanced migration strategies such as SLT and other LT-based scenarios minimize downtime during transition. Critical business operations continue without interruption, preserving revenue and avoiding the operational gaps common in traditional on-premises migrations.

Embedded services & tools

Readiness Check: Assess your system and prepare for migration.
Custom Code Migration App: Analyze and convert custom code for Private Cloud compatibility.
Learning Hub: Access training resources to support adoption and process changes.

Cloud Platform Enterprise Agreement (CPEA) Credits (for BTP services)

Minimum credit value: 4,000 USD.
Maximum credit cap: 16,000 USD.
Calculated as 1% of your annual net Private Cloud subscription value.

SAP business process intelligence

Identify and implement process improvements through detailed analysis.
Discover opportunities via a free one-time online report.
Receive tailored recommendations for workflow optimization.

Full customization preservation

Retain all mission-critical custom code, Z-transactions, and unique business logic. This includes the ability to continue running your validated industry-specific solutions (IS-solutions) from ECC. Public Cloud cannot preserve this level of system-specific configuration.

Flexible update schedule

You decide when updates are applied. This flexibility aligns with internal testing windows and prevents disruption to complex processes.

Choice of cloud hosting (IaaS)

Select your preferred cloud provider, AWS, Azure, or GCP, and manage the system lifecycle, including HANA database and operating system.

Unified RISE with SAP contract

Receive SAP Cloud ERP Private, IaaS, BTP, and managed services under a single agreement. Accountability is simplified, and procurement is consolidated.

BTP for innovation and extensions

Use SAP Business Technology Platform to develop new extensions, integrate applications, or apply AI/ML innovations without affecting the customized S/4HANA core.

Elimination of obsolete infrastructure

Move hardware and infrastructure responsibilities to the cloud. Reduce CapEx, remove risks tied to aging systems, and avoid managing old data centers.

	Private Cloud	Public Cloud
Analytics, AI, Features	Embedded Features: Core AI scenarios and analytics are available, but require separate activation and configuration post-migration.	Embedded Features: Joule AI, ML, and analytics are included and automatically activated with every quarterly update.
Customization	Full Preservation of all Z-code and critical customizations.	Clean Core: Customization is prohibited, only external extensions on BTP.
Update schedule	You decide (100% autonomy). Ideal for long testing cycles.	Mandatory Quarterly (4 times a year). High risk of disrupting business processes.
Migration	Supports Brownfield/Bluefield (migration of existing system).	Requires Greenfield (implementation from scratch) or complex process redesign.
Hosting	Choice of IaaS (AWS, Azure, GCP).	Infrastructure is determined by SAP.
Target audience	Large businesses, ECC migration, high complexity.	Midsize businesses, standardization, new start (GROW with SAP).

	SAP ECC	SAP Cloud ERP Private
Primary risk	No updates after 2027/2030. Accumulation of critical technical debt.	The system is never obsolete. Always on the current S/4HANA version (RISE), minimal risk.
Financial model	High CapEx (unpredictable investments in servers, DBMS, licenses, and data centers).	OpEx (Subscription): Predictable costs and 25–30% lower TCO.
Performance	Dependent on outdated hardware and DBMS. Slow reports.	HANA Database. Transaction and report speed 3–7 times faster, real-time analytics.
IT management	Full burden of managing all IT infrastructure (OS, DBMS, hosting, backup, Disaster Recovery).	Managed Service (RISE): IaaS, OS, and DBMS management is transferred to SAP/provider.
Customization/code	Full control, but critical dependency on rare, expensive ABAP developers for Z-code maintenance and updates.	Full preservation of critical Z-code while reducing its maintenance burden.
Innovation	Access to modern features (AI, BTP) only through complex, third-party interfaces.	Embedded AI (Joule), ML, and BTP available from day one.
Updates	Complex, expensive, manual projects.	Flexible updates on your schedule, included in the RISE subscription.
Total	A static, on-premises system with escalating maintenance costs and a defined end of support.	A modern, managed cloud service that preserves operational control while modernizing the technical foundation.

“A great partner that goes the extra mile to accommodate the customer/company”

A great partner that goes the extra mile to accommodate the customer/company. They can accomplish what is needed to move their business forward. No question is too much for LeverX. They’ve been a great resource for any area of SAP. What I like about LeverX is that I don’t think there is any question that is too much for them. We bounced a lot of things off them that might not appear in their wheelhouse, but a lot of times they have answers just because of their experience and knowledge. We found them to be a great resource to bounce things off and get ideas even if they might not be specific to PLM. When you are out of time and have limited resources, LeverX has your solution. LeverX is a big bang for your buck that will bring in a lot of knowledge at one time to check off all the boxes.

“They are an important part of our strategic Team and we enjoy working with them every day!”

Emerline has been our technology partner since late 2012. In the early years, I thought that they would fill a short-term gap until I could afford to hire my own technical team in the US. But they have consistently met the demands of our growing company and helped us build what we believe is our industry's best solution option. Emerline provides high quality work, so much so that our platform's reliability and accuracy has repeatedly been mentioned by our largest customer's internal vendor survey. The individuals we work with aren't just contractors, they are an important part of our strategic Team and we enjoy working with them every day!
