Which SAP cloud services do I need?

At minimum, most S/4HANA customers need SuccessFactors (HR is not in S/4HANA), Analytics Cloud (replacing BW for reporting), and one of Ariba/Concur. A full digital transformation includes all six cloud services.

Should I implement cloud services with or after S/4HANA?

Ideally as a coordinated program. SuccessFactors and Concur can often start in parallel with S/4HANA. Ariba and SAC typically follow S/4HANA go-live. Signavio should start before S/4HANA (process mining for migration planning).

How much do SAP cloud services cost?

Implementation: $150K-3M per service depending on scope. Total for a full suite: $3.5M-13M. Recurring licensing: $470K+/year. Bundling multiple services typically earns volume discounts.

Can you implement SuccessFactors without S/4HANA?

Yes. SuccessFactors is a standalone cloud HR platform. Many companies implement it independently. However, the most value comes from integrating with S/4HANA (payroll, financials, org management).

S/4HANA is just the core. Most companies need 2-4 additional SAP cloud services. HR goes to SuccessFactors, procurement to Ariba, expenses to Concur, and analytics to SAC. Implementing these together as a coordinated program (not silos) delivers 3-5x higher value per client engagement.
