To help developers within small and medium businesses, IT departments within large enterprises and consultants easily access HANA in the cloud, SAP has made available user-based packages for SAP HANA Cloud Platform (HCP) on SAP Digital’s SAP Store.
The packages, which are priced per user for production, offer a convenient and fast way to create enterprise-grade apps, enabling organisations to buy them in minutes using a credit card.
SAP offers a single application edition per user per month for US$43, and a multiple application edition for US$130 per user per month. There is also a professional edition at US$22 per user per month.
Organisations can also trial the user-based packages for SAP HCP in a free edition, which allows developers to start immediately building an app for productive use, with no risk or upfront investment required.
SAP also has starter editions of the SAP HCP available on the SAP Store, providing a dedicated instance of SAP HANA and other key services, with pricing ranging from US$439 (32GB) to US$549 (64GB).
SAP recently announced that live credit card transaction capabilities for the SAP Store would be expanded from 32 countries to over 100 countries by the end of 2016. Other solutions available through the Store include SAP Digital CRM and SAP Lumira (standard edition).
