Bottom Line

Additionally, continued market traction of the SAP S/4HANA platform is proving to be a robust growth driver. During the last reported quarter, S/4HANA adoption surged 33% from the year-ago quarter to 10,500 customers, which includes BlackRock, Kellogg, Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) , Mastercard and Under Armour.
SAP HANA Cloud Platform and its partners have been gaining rapid popularity, assisting clients extend their functionalities, building new applications, and integrating across cloud and on-premise platforms, in turn fueling growth. It has been acting as a catalyst since its introduction. The company constantly upgrades existing products and launches fresh ones to gain customers.
Cloud still remains an expanding market with high growth prospects. In a recent report, Gartner projected the public cloud market to reach $411.4 billion by 2020. According to International Trade Administration, the Chinese cloud market is likely to touch $20 billion mark by 2020 at a CAGR of 40%.
We believe that SAP, with its ongoing initiatives, is well poised to capitalize on potential of the market. In fact, the cloud computing is likely to be one of its major growth drivers in the long run.
