And SCP is more of a platform-aaS. Think of SCP as a bridge between HANA and rest of the SAP SaaS porfolio....for starters.

– HEC is a private managed cloud, and is an ideal location for running SAP HANA workloads supported by a team experienced in managing 1,000s of instances. This is where the digital core lives.

Regarding IT operations… Balancing resources between As-Is and To-Be can be tricky, and HEC is providing a bridge for this transition by helping the business focus more on innovation & less on keeping the lights on.

@furrier I agree with security, it's a key discussion point. But we have federal customers using HEC who've moved beyond that hurdle once they learned about our framework for securing the network.

@teddybgame Comfortability seems to be the most common road block I field. HEC reduces the risk of this journey, enables customers to move at their own pace, and begins a partnership for long-term innovation.
