SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition has been acknowledged as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud ERP for both Product-Centric and Service-Centric Enterprises. This recognition underscores SAP's unparalleled ability to cater to diverse business needs across industries, combining vision and execution.
Understanding the Needs of Product and Service-Centric Enterprises

1. Product-Centric Enterprises These organizations emphasize process standardization and innovation to optimize core operations. Key areas include:
