On-Demand/On-Cloud vs On-premise or HybriD ?? What next..

Hi CRM Enthusiasts
A short intro about me, graduated in IT and joined one of SAP Consultancy firm back in 2006. And from there I was involved in numerous CRM implementations across the globe. So my forte is SAP CRM & Middleware, and light on ECC modules.
I started on SAP CRM 4.0  back then, and from then to now, things have evolved slowly but in a good way surely.
Now, as part of my job profile, I am responsible for designing the CRM architecture and action plan for next 5 years for my current employer. Its fascinating how things got changed in past one year or so, like Hybris acquisition, this came as a shocker as many of the companies did a huge amount investment in WCEM including mine, there are definitely pro-cons comparing WCEM with Hybris (Its not all  about look and feel) I believe. And I want to believe that this investment is worthwhile.
Coming to a point now, what next ? We have got CRM on-premise and there is not much of it used today in our business, but there is huge opportunity to CRM to grow here. So is it worth building the blocks of Marketing, Sales, Interaction Centre on CRM 7.0 or should we start investing our resources On-cloud/On-demand SAP Cloud for Customer solutions. If it’s later, what are the limitation when compare to on-premise, I know this question is very wide, but for me and I guess, everyone out there need to know, how quickly and when we can get all the functionalities of on-premise with on-cloud or is theew an interim Hybrid solution integrating On-cloud (front end) with On-premise ??? What is the transition strategy of SAP ?? What happens to On-premise Customers ?? How secure is On-cloud?
There was a lot of buzz of this in Sapphire 2014, is Cloud the next big thing ?? If yes,  can we have a SAP road map  for this solution and how much will this solution support when compared to CRM on-premise solution.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Hi MMM,
Yes this product from SAP is indeed beautiful. You should also learn about SAP JAM in case you're not aware.. SAP JAM would definitely erase all earlier notions that SAP products can't look sexy
Regarding strategy of SAP, with the amount of time Cloud solutions are getting in SAPPHIRE, I can guess that the product is here to stay & SAP is coming out with new features & industry specific modules on a quick pace..
Now coming to your query on using C4C as a standalone solution.. Yes it can be used provided you utlise marketing features only.. For sales, it would lead to opportunity win/loss stage & for service tickets, it would end as "work completion"
Unlike SAP CRM, you cannot create sales/service orders or create invoices in C4C.. This is a 'line of business' solution.. Now the "popular CRM cloud solution" I talked about before also can't make invoices or sales orders except maybe through apps which needs to be customised & configured.
I had a query on CRM, while invoices are created, is financial settlement also taken care by SAP CRM on-premise or you need to integrate with ERP Fi-CO?
Now coming to your last query on SAP C4C for customers who aren't in SAP landscape. We specificaly did an integration with non sap BW for a major chemical company using middleware and the results are quite good.. I'll encourage you to go through several blogs posted by mentors which can help you to understand C4C capabilities.. I found this document to be quite useful.
With Regards,
Rahul

  • Sales cloud and On premise OBIEE integration

    Hello
    Customer has Sales cloud and on premise OBIEE 11g and would like to embed OBIEE dashboard to sales cloud customer screen. Simple adding of HTML iframe doesn't work, as I guess clickjacking protection is working. So question is how is possible embed on premise OBIEE dashboard to Sales Cloud. For on priemse Fusion application I found property oracle.adf.view.rich.security.FRAME_BUSTING which switch on or off clickjacking protecton. Is it possible to disable this property on Sales Cloud?
    What other way of embeding of OBIEE reports are available?
    Thanks in advance,
    Vladimir

    Hi Vladimir,
    the clickjacking protection you mentioned is indeed in place, but it is meant to prevent the embedding of Fusion Apps (incl. Sales Cloud) UIs into iFrames.
    Your scenario seems to be the other way around: you want to embed content into an iFrame provided by Sales Cloud, right?  In that case, the clickjacking protection of the embedded UI served by OBIEE comes into play.  And since it's on premises, you hopefully have control over it (though I don't know how you control it since I am not an OBIEE expert).  The way I typically test whether a page can be successfully iFramed is by building a very simple static html page hosted on a server somewhere, with its primary content being an iFrame for the desired page.
    For further reference, I wrote about iFrame issues on our blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/fadevrel/entry/troubleshooting_embedded_web_content
    Hope this helps!

  • Bringing cloud technology on-premises in Exchange Server 2016

    Bringing cloud technology on-premises in Exchange Server 2016We’re excited to announce that Exchange Server 2016 Preview is now available for download. At Ignite, we introduced Exchange Server 2016 and demonstrated some of its capabilities. Now you can install the bits yourself and get hands-on experience with the newest member of the Exchange family. We’re eager to hear your feedback as we progress toward a final release later this year.This version of Exchange is special because it was born in the cloud. From the depths of the mailbox store to the most visible parts of the Outlook web UI, the bits that make up Exchange 2016 are already in use across millions of mailboxes in Office 365. For the past several months we’ve been working to package up these capabilities and deliver them on-premises. This preview milestone is an important...

    Hi Sumesh,
    1. Please make sure your mails are flowing correctly using XYZ.CO domain. Hope you have XYZ.ORG also created in Exchange.
    2. Hope you already created the users in your Exchange2013 server and distribution groups for current users 
    3. You plan a weekend for changing your MX records. 
    4. Change MX and A records to a lower TTL days before the migration to decrease DNS update time on migration day
    5. Export Hosted Exchange data for each user to PST files  using the PST capture tool and move your PSTs to a centralized location.
    6. Change MX and A records to point to on-premises Exchange 2013
    7. Import Hosted Exchange data from PST files into the new Exchange profiles

  • Exchange 2013 mailbox migration from third party cloud to on premises

    Hi,
    we are currently utilizing a third party exchange 2013 cloud service to host user's mailboxes (  intermedia), now we implemented an exchange 2013 on-premises environment in Hyper V infrastructure and want to plan migration of mailboxes and related configuration.
    cloud and on-premises environment have same SMTP domain ( Eg: XYZ.ORG) and currently an additional Temporary SMTP domain ( XYZ.CO ) used to test the external mailflow of on-premises since xyz.org is registered with cloud.
    we need to migrate all mailboxes to on premises and enable XYZ.ORG for on-premises.
    Pls suggest the prerequisites,steps, best practices for migration
    Thanks in advance.

  • Enterprise HANA on Cloud vs on-premise

    Hi,
    As I understand Enterprise HANA on cloud is a monthly subscription model where a client bound by stiff budget constraints can start off with HANA implementation. Ofcourse, it does offer more advantages as well.
    With all of this, I wonder why I haven't seen many HANA on Cloud customers as opposed to on-premise.
    Can someone please help me look at the disadvantages of Having a Cloud based solution?
    Thanks,

  • Protecting users and their emails after FA-P2T on Cloud and on-premise environments

    Hello everyone,
       I would like to share this helpful article to let you know how to protect user's emails after a FA-P2T(production to test) procedure on-premise environments, and make it possible for Cloud(thru SRs, if approved, of course).
    thiagoleoncio: Protecting users and their emails after FA-P2T on Cloud environments
    I hope it helps,
    Thiago Leoncio.

    I had exactly same issue. And it was hard for me to troubleshoot too. Here is what I did,
    Forced "Outlook Anywhere" even when users were in internal LAN. The issue did not appear. This gave me the idea that since Outlook Anywhere is encrypted (HTTPS) connection there was no interference with
    traffic between Outlook and Exchange. This tells me that some other network devices were interfering with this traffic.
    In my case, it was WAN Acceleration (Riverbed). Riverbed did acknowledged this issue and pointed us to their KB article. Good luck convincing your network guys though. If HTTPS work, keep using it. It
    will eventually irritate the network guys as they cannot compress encrypted traffic ( if you don't provide them the certificate). 
    I know this is shot in the dark as I don't know your network.
    Exchange server reboot could be completely different issue. I have no idea why.
    I hope this helps.

  • Cloud and On premise BizTalk integration.

    Hi,
    Currently we have one .net web base application(On premise) integrated with finance system(On premise) using BizTalk server(On premise). here we have published orchestration as WCF service to get read only data from finance system to display in .Net web
    application.
    Is it possible another application(.net) in cloud use same WCF service (published from orchestration) which is hosted in BizTalk server (On premise) ? 
    Could you please suggest some approve here with minimum code/design changes?
    Thanks and Regards
    Suman

    So flow will be
    (1)Cloud base application's request -> (2)BizTalk service hosted in cloud -> BizTalk receive location (On premise) -> Finance system -> Response from Finance system ->Response to BizTalk service hosted in
    cloud -> Response to Cloud base application.
    Could you let me know which binding (NetTcpRelay/BasicHttpRelay) is preferable on performance base in hybrid application.  
    Can you refer to me some link/blog?
    Regards
    Suman
    Not exactly.
    First, it can be "any
    based application request". Client can be anywhere.
    Second, the Azure Relay service calls the same on-premises hosted BizTalk service. The Relay service works as an intermediary service, hiding your BTS service from external clients.

  • Developing in cloud for cloud and on premise solutions

    Hello,
    I'll be developing software and plan on doing the development in the cloud to help with programs like Successfactors. Will the programs that I develop in the cloud be useable, 'as is' for the on-prem versions of that software? Is this the same for all other SAP cloud offerings?
    Thanks,

    Hi Jim,
    You can become a partner with access to a SuccessFactors system for a very reasonable price:
    https://www.sapappsdevelopmentpartnercenter.com/en/get-started/cloud-applications/successfactors-extensions/
    however, I'm not sure this would give you access to the provisioning area of SuccessFactors where you need to make the SAML/SSO configurations.
    Generally you must be a SuccessFactors partner and have completed the Introduction to Mastery course before you get provisioning access.
    But if anyone can help you out the SAP teams in this area are the most helpful anywhere!
    Good luck.
