Posted on behalf of David Ahrens ,Global Vice President Cloud Marketing.

I am excited to see so many of customers and partners at SAPPHIRE NOW in Orlando this week. As you’re walking around SAPPHIRE NOW, you’ll probably notice some changes in the way we’re talking about our some of our cloud solutions.

SAP’s Cloud applications are increasingly being adopted by existing as well as new customers and partners. The term “cloud” is resonating well with the market and provides not only a branding anchor but also a promise to our customers and prospects that the value of cloud technology will be available for their business, i.e. business velocity, faster time to market, speed of implementation, manageable cost structures and transparent security amongst others.

Therefore SAP has decided to consolidate the SAP Line of Business Cloud Applications around 4 pillars, namely People, Customer, Money and Supplier, and align the names of the SAP Cloud Applications accordingly (for now, name changes only apply to Customer and Money pillars). On the  SAP Line of Business Cloud Applications webpage, you have a quick reference guide to the 4 pillars, the solutions and some additional resources.

For your reference, here is a list of some of the names which have changed:

Customer Cloud 

Formerly known as…	New name
SAP Customer OnDemand	SAP Cloud for Customer
SAP Sales OnDemand	SAP Cloud for Sales
SAP Service OnDemand	SAP Cloud for Service

In addition, SAP Cloud Applications Studio  will replace both the SAP Customer OnDemand studio and the SAP Solutions OnDemand studio.

Please note that these name changes will have no impact on pricing or contractual relationships.  It may take a while for the naming changes to be reflected on all materials, but feel free to respond to this blog if there are any uncertainties.

All other product names will stay the same.

Let SAP’s Line of Business Cloud Applications help manage your people, money, customers, suppliers — even your entire business — with the most comprehensive, beautiful, and innovative cloud solutions on the market.
