Intro
The objective of the Cloud Platform Enterprise Agreement (CPEA) is to create one rich and simple customer experience for finding, trying, buying, and consuming cloud services from SAP and partners for net-new and installed base customers.It allows customers to integrate, extend and innovate own applications with business and technical functionality offered as cloud services in a flexible way.
There is no need to license a SAP Cloud Platform service individually anymore. Cloud services can be used when demand arises and be retired if not needed anymore. Charges incur on actual usage and will be charged monthly against the prior purchased Cloud Credit.
