SAP S/4HANA NATIVE · BUILT ON SAP BTP

Acuiti Media Cloud: media subscriptions on S/4HANA, with no rebuilds

Acuiti Media Cloud gives publishers the full subscription lifecycle on SAP S/4HANA, offers, renewals, publications, and analytics, built on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) and integrated with SAP BRIM and Subscription Billing.

THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

S/4HANA does not carry
your subscription business with it

Standard S/4HANA does not include the capabilities of the legacy SAP Industry Solution for Media (IS-Media). For a publisher, that gap opens at the worst possible moment—the point of migration—which shows up two different ways.

01

If you are moving
off IS-Media

The publication and subscription lifecycle you have run for years is not there in standard S/4HANA. Without a replacement, you are left rebuilding it through custom development, or compromising on what your subscription business can do.

02

If you are going live
on S/4HANA for the first time

You are standing up a modern subscription operation with no media-specific foundation to build on: offers, renewals, and subscriber management all have to come from somewhere.

Fragmented renewals

Offers, renewals, and subscriber communications spread across disconnected tools, and revenue leaks through the gaps.

No view of subscriber behaviour

Retention calls get made without live data on cancellations, renewal rates, or subscriber patterns.

Manual effort that does not scale

High-volume subscription and renewal work runs on workarounds that break as you grow.

WHO IT’S FOR

Built for media businesses that run on recurring revenue

Acuiti Media Cloud is designed for publishers whose revenue depends on subscriptions, across print, digital, and hybrid models:

CAPABILITIES

Six capabilities, one system

All capabilities run natively on SAP BTP. No custom integrations. No middleware.

Centralised offer management

Create and manage subscription offers, promotional pricing, and discount rules directly in S/4HANA.

Renewal orchestration

Automated, multi-stage renewal journeys with configurable triggers, offer distribution, and targeting.

Bulk contract processing

High-volume subscription and renewal operations with built-in validation, designed to scale without manual effort.

Renewal intelligence and analytics

Real-time dashboards with AI-driven insight into renewal trends, cancellations, and subscriber behaviour, so retention decisions rest on live data, not guesswork.

Publication lifecycle management

Track print, digital, and hybrid publications from creation through delivery, including back-order handling.

Email template management

Multilingual renewal communications for consistent subscriber engagement across every channel you serve.

WHY ACUITI

Purpose-built for media, purpose-built for S/4HANA

Acuiti Media Cloud is built for both media subscriptions and S/4HANA, closing the IS-Media gap rather than working around it.

SAP-native, built on BTP

Every capability lives inside your existing SAP environment, on SAP Business Technology Platform. No third-party middleware to license, secure, or maintain.

IS-Media continuity

It preserves and extends the capabilities of the legacy SAP Industry Solution for Media on S/4HANA, so migration does not force a trade-off between moving forward and keeping what works.

Built for scale

High-volume bulk processing, multi-stage renewals, and multilingual communications, across global subscriber bases.

Predictive renewal intelligence

AI-driven analytics surface renewal risks and subscriber patterns before they turn into lost revenue – the answer to the blind spot most publishers hit at migration.
