We are in the government sector, which has a more structured approach. We are aligned based on mandated requirements, which might not be relevant for private industry where changes happen more drastically. As a developer rather than a Basis administrator, I can share that we are completely cloud-based with no on-premises solutions. The biggest benefit is the container capability. Previously with on-premises, securing the infrastructure was the biggest hurdle, but with cloud, it's much more robust as we don't need to worry about those aspects. We have RPA, though I'm not part of that group. Everything is integrated into GRC, with no individual systems. All business rules are maintained in GRC, making it tightly integrated and controlled. I would rate SAP HANA Cloud nine to ten out of ten. The overall solution rating is 10 out of 10.
SAP is no longer giving on-premises licenses; they are only selling RISE. The real-time analytics features have been overused. This has been their selling point since five or six years ago. The machine learning and artificial intelligence features are brought in as part of SAP tools. These capabilities currently help as SAP Jewel is being used for AI, ML, and GenAI. This is the current trend and talking point where we are doing some exploration. With all these AI and ML capabilities being consumed, SAP is robust in their fundamental transactions. If they can bring those features into their fundamental transactions where key users or end users can build their own features or reports, that would be something interesting to see. For example, when end users create a PO, create a PR, or do a goods receipt, if they need improvements, they have to go through a bigger IT cycle. They must provide requirements, then someone has to develop it, and then return it. If key end users could write a functional specification GenAI based on the specification, and if the GenAI could develop a prototype tool that they can test and deploy, this would be beneficial for the future. I rate SAP HANA Cloud nine out of ten as a product.
