What is S/4HANA On-Premise Edition?
The S/4HANA on-premise edition is an internal platform located on your servers or private cloud infrastructure. This setup grants your business full control over the system's deployment, customization, and maintenance, allowing you to tailor the solution to your specific operational needs. On the other hand, it requires your internal IT team to manage installations, apply updates, and oversee system maintenance. SAP releases system updates for S/4HANA on-premise annually, so responsibility for the implementation of updates, along with planning, testing, and controlling of all system changes and customizations, goes to the customer, too, not SAP.
With on-premise deployment, you only pay for the license; no subscription fees are required. The other benefit of this model is that customization possibilities are excellent: the solution is designed to ensure the highest compliance with unique business requirements.
SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition is suited for enterprise-level companies that need a full range of features and look for highly flexible customization, along with enhanced control over their ERP environment and data management practices.

Control over cost
With the SAP S/4HANA On-Premise Edition, you gain clear and predictable control over costs – all thanks to no subscription fees. Unlike cloud subscription models, the on-premise licensing model typically involves an upfront, one-time investment. Although this payment is many times bigger than the subscription fee, however, this payment model gives you greater transparency and predictability over your long-term IT budget. And there’s more: this approach allows businesses to avoid unexpected subscription cost fluctuations, manage licenses efficiently, and clearly forecast IT expenditures. As a result, you maintain tighter financial control and confidently align your IT investments with your strategic planning.
