SAP Hybrid Model

SAP Hybrid Model

The SAP Hybrid Model combines on-premise and cloud-based SAP solutions, allowing organizations to leverage the benefits of both deployment models. In this model, some SAP modules or applications are hosted on-premise, while others are deployed in the cloud. This approach provides flexibility, enabling businesses to maintain control over sensitive data and critical processes while taking advantage of the scalability and innovation of cloud solutions.

Key Features

Combination of On-Premise and Cloud

  • Critical or sensitive systems (e.g., core ERP) remain on-premise.
  • Less sensitive or innovation-driven systems (e.g., HR, procurement) are moved to the cloud.

Flexibility

  • Allows organizations to choose the best deployment model for each SAP module or application.
  • Supports gradual migration to the cloud, reducing risk and disruption.

Integration

  • Requires seamless integration between on-premise and cloud systems.
  • SAP provides tools like SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI) to connect hybrid environments.

Scalability

  • Cloud components can be scaled up or down as needed, while on-premise systems remain stable.
  • Ideal for businesses with fluctuating workloads or growth plans.

Cost Efficiency

  • Reduces the need for large upfront investments in cloud migration.
  • Balances CapEx (on-premise) and OpEx (cloud) costs.

Data Security and Compliance

  • Sensitive data can remain on-premise to meet compliance requirements.
  • Less sensitive data can be stored in the cloud for cost savings and accessibility.

Innovation

  • Cloud components provide access to the latest SAP innovations and updates.
  • On-premise systems ensure stability for critical operations.

Disaster Recovery and Redundancy

  • Cloud components can serve as backup or disaster recovery solutions for on-premise systems.
  • Enhances business continuity and resilience.

Best For

Large Enterprises with Legacy Systems

  • Organizations with existing on-premise infrastructure that want to adopt cloud solutions gradually.
  • Businesses that cannot fully migrate to the cloud due to technical or compliance constraints.

Industries with Strict Compliance Requirements

  • Industries like healthcare, finance, and government that must keep sensitive data on-premise.
  • Organizations that need to comply with data residency or sovereignty regulations.

Organizations Undergoing Digital Transformation

  • Companies transitioning from traditional on-premise systems to modern cloud-based solutions.
  • Businesses looking to innovate while maintaining stability for core operations.

Businesses with Mixed Workloads

  • Organizations with predictable workloads for core systems and fluctuating workloads for other processes.
  • Companies that want to optimize costs by using cloud resources for variable demands.

Global Enterprises

  • Organizations with multiple locations that need both centralized control (on-premise) and decentralized accessibility (cloud).
  • Businesses that require a balance between global scalability and local compliance.

Benefits

Flexibility

Choose the best deployment model for each SAP module or application.

Cost Efficiency

Balance CapEx and OpEx costs while optimizing resource usage.

Compliance

Keep sensitive data on-premise to meet regulatory requirements.

Innovation

Leverage cloud solutions for innovation without disrupting core systems.

Scalability

Scale cloud components as needed while maintaining stable on-premise systems.

Examples

Core ERP On-Premise, HR in the Cloud

The core ERP systems (e.g., SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA) are kept on-premise for control and compliance. HR systems (e.g., SAP SuccessFactors) are moved to the cloud for scalability and innovation.

Finance On-Premise, Procurement in the Cloud

The financial systems are maintained on-premise for data security. SAP Ariba is used in the cloud for procurement and supplier collaboration.

Manufacturing On-Premise, Analytics in the Cloud

The manufacturing and production systems are kept on-premise for stability.SAP Analytics Cloud is used for real-time data analysis and reporting.
