About SAP road maps
Companies today are planning their digital journeys – transforming business models, reengineering business processes, and
reimagining work.
SAP road maps highlight innovations that may help you plan and implement your digital journey. They span products relevant to
lines of business in your industry and explain how our innovations may add value to your business.
In our road maps, you can learn about our innovations along four different timelines:
1. Recent innovations for our products that have been launched in the past weeks or months and can already be purchased
2. Planned innovations for our products that are intended to be launched in the short term or midterm
3. Product direction, providing a long-term perspective on high-level development plans for innovations for our solutions –
inspired by your requirements
4. Product vision, providing a high-level and long-term business perspective on innovations for our products
In order to provide you with an always up-to-date, real-time road map, we have created the new SAP Road Map Explorer tool:
https://roadmaps.sap.com/welcome.
Whereas this static version of the road map is only updated in regular intervals, the new tool allows you to flexibly browse all
innovations across SAP’s entire portfolio and will eventually fully replace the static road map documents.
To provide you with a seamless experience, we will also continue to deliver this static road map until it can be fully replaced by the
road map views derived from the new tool.

About this SAP S/4HANA Cloud road map
SAP S/4HANA road maps provide insights into the near-term investments across Intelligent ERP that may
help you plan and implement your digital journey. This road map document is intended for an IT audience that
requires a granular view on upcoming innovations. For a view that is more focused on business outcomes,
please see the interactive road map at https://roadmaps.sap.com/welcome.
This road map covers three main perspectives:
1. Line of business (LoB), providing insights into cross-industry investments supporting specific LoBs in your
organization.
2. Industry-enabling investments, providing insights into future investments for a specific industry. These
investments should always be used in combination with the LoB investments to assemble a full overview of
the investments for your organization. For a full overview of SAP’s portfolio in a specific industry, please
consult the industry product road maps on www.sap.com/roadmaps.
3. Time horizon, providing detailed investments for the current and next three releases.
