Renaming of some SAP Cloud Applications shows SAP Cloud commitment
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:

Hi Schalk,
Thanks bringing this topic up clearly and concisely. It's important for customers and the community to recognize the changes. I certainly think it makes sense to replace the "OnDemand" termwith "Cloud" as I see the usage of the term "OnDemand" declining.
Best regards,
Luke
Hi,
I would like to see the term "SAP Cloud" in all the Cloud Line-of-Buiness applications including the pillars people and supplier. There was no renaming for Business ByDesign. Is this planned for the near future as well?
Best regards,
Ralf
Hi Ralf - no renaming for ByDesign is currently being planned.
Hi Schalk,
any official - or not so official - hashtags that you could add to the collection A guide to Twitter hashtags for SAP's Cloud offerings to help people spread the new names?
Thanks,
Chris
