As an SAP® customer, you may feel increasing pressure to move your ERP systems to Cloud-based platforms. SAP’s changing cloud license models, naming conventions and new products are relatively new to the market. Although adoption rate is still low because companies are just now starting to figure out how to transition to the cloud, it is surely expected to rise.
