I am super proud to announce the newest version of SAP Product Lifecycle Costing 4.0 SP4 Hotfix 3 in the SAP Cloud Appliance Library. Don´t miss the opportunity to try leveraging a ready to run, preconfigured SAP Product Lifecycle Costing (SAP PLC) system containing sample data. Experience first-hand the benefits the solution provides in being able to calculate costs and other dimensions for new products or quotations across all stages of the product lifecycle to easily simulate costs and compare alternatives to maximize profitability.

Using the SAP Product Lifecycle Costing Appliance Template in SAP Cloud Appliance Library:
SAP Cloud Appliance Library (SAP CAL) offers a quick and easy way to create SAP workloads in your cloud infrastructure. You will find Appliance Templates for demo, proof of concept and exploration of new business cases. With SAP PLC being part of the offering you can create your own dedicated SAP PLC appliance in your hyperscaler infrastructure.
As a prerequisite, you need to obtain an account at one of the supported cloud providers and can afterwards bring up your system using the SAP CAL. The registration in SAP CAL and one of the supported hosting providers takes only a few minutes. The start-up of your personal trial instance (no shared system !) will take roughly 1-2 hours. An easy entrance into SAP CAL is the SAP PLC 30-day trial.
Find more info on how to get there in SAP Cloud Appliance Library community, where e.g. demo videos for Appliance creation in AWS, Azure or GCP are offered.
