Learn the key differences between SAP Public Cloud and Private Cloud, and how OMS+ and OMS+ Cloud fit into SAP’s evolving clean-core future.
Understanding SAP’s Cloud Landscape
SAP customers today can choose from a range of cloud options, such as Private Cloud for flexibility and control, and the newer Public Cloud (SAP Cloud) for simplicity and speed. Understanding how they differ helps companies decide which best supports their operations and growth.
Let’s break it down in a simple way, and show where DataXstream’s OMS+ and OMS+ Cloud fit into each.
What Is SAP Private Cloud?
Think of Private Cloud as your own managed SAP environment.
It’s hosted by SAP or a partner, but you control your instance, your configurations, your updates, your pace.
- You can choose when upgrades happen
- You have deep customization and flexibility
- You manage more, but you also have more control
- It’s ideal for large enterprises with complex operations and global integrations
OMS+ fits perfectly here.
It’s the proven, enterprise-grade solution that integrates tightly with SAP S/4HANA On-Premise and Private Cloud.
OMS+ gives large organizations the flexibility to tailor their sales and order management processes without losing real-time SAP visibility.
What Is SAP Public Cloud (SAP Cloud)?
SAP Public Cloud, now simply called SAP Cloud, is a fully managed environment controlled by SAP.
That means SAP handles updates, upgrades, and maintenance automatically, so you always run on the latest version.
- Upgrades happen automatically
- SAP controls most of the environment and configuration
- You gain agility, speed, and lower overhead, but less customization
- It’s ideal for companies that want enterprise functionality with a simpler, faster setup
OMS+ Cloud was designed specifically for this environment.
It’s 100% clean core, which means it’s upgrade-safe and always compatible with SAP’s latest releases.
Built entirely in ABAP Cloud, OMS+ Cloud is the first SAP Premium Certified ABAP Cloud solution, and can be deployed directly through the SAP Store.
Why Clean Core Matters
Clean core means that instead of modifying SAP’s base code, solutions like OMS+ Cloud extend SAP safely, ensuring upgrades and innovation never break functionality.
- OMS+ Cloud: 100% clean core (upgrade-safe and built for scalability)
- OMS+: Conditionally clean core (upgrade-safe with deeper customization options)
That means whether your organization prioritizes control or simplicity, you’ll have a version of OMS+ built to fit your SAP strategy, both now and in the future.
Which One Is Right for You?
It depends on your business model and SAP environment:
| Private Cloud | Public Cloud | |
| Who Manages It | You (SAP Hosts It, You Control It) | SAP Manages Everything |
| Upgrade Model | You Decide When To Upgrade It | SAP Automatically Upgrades It |
| Customization | Highly Configurable | Strictly Clean-Core |
| Ideal For | Companies Needing Flexibility | Companies Who Want Speed, Agility and Lower IT Overheads |
