Key Features of Industry Cloud
- Industry Cloud allows customers and partners to build industrial solutions and applications in the cloud, complementing the intelligent suite using the Business Technology Platform (BTP).
- Solutions can address specific business problems across multiple sectors, either as extensions of existing processes or as standalone processes integrated into clients' existing SAP software environments.
Benefits of Moving to Industry Cloud
- Transitioning industrial solutions to the cloud offers significant benefits such as incremental updates, scalable solutions, attractive pricing models like pay-per-use, and reduced maintenance concerns since hardware and software are managed externally.
- The flexibility provided by cloud services allows companies to choose their desired infrastructure while ensuring easy discovery, subscription, and use of industry cloud solutions.

- They must be elastic (scalable), resilient (able to respond quickly), observable (to monitor performance), and efficient in resource usage based on demand fluctuations.
User Interface Considerations
- A user interface based on SAP Fiori is essential for accessing end-to-end process support within the intelligent suite.
- Developers utilize SAP's environment called "SAP Craft" for creating, reading, updating, and deleting industry cloud solutions through APIs that reveal business domains.
