Achieve Cost-Efficient Cloud Design for SAP-Centric Workloads and Minimize Business Disruption

Solution Brief

Cloud Migration and Transformation

Full Cloud Assessment Businesses are increasingly moving their SAP-centric

workloads from traditional hosting and in-house

datacenters to the Cloud. However, many businesses

lack the highly specialized planning skills needed

to leverage cloud functionality at its fullest, when it

comes to SAP-centric workloads. Knowing where to

start, how to migrate, and what options to choose

can be half the battle. A full cloud assessment of

your SAP landscape is an efficient way to understand

the best migration and transformation patterns for

your SAP applications and workloads.

Challenges Companies are looking to move SAP applications and

workloads to the cloud for a variety of reasons, but many

don’t know where to start. In addition, the pace of change

for business and technology often makes it difficult to

implement a cloud strategy with minimal disruption. But

no matter the reason, insufficient planning can cause pain

throughout the migration:

• Reskilling and Upskilling In-House Resources:

enabling employees to develop cloud skills and

experiences takes time and training

• Assessing and Prioritizing Workloads: migration

prioritization of the SAP workloads based on

performance objectives (complexity, criticality, security

etc.) and impacts on internal processes requires

adequate planning

• Converting Outdated Systems and Workloads:

migrating SAP legacy workloads, system versions,

integration points, and platforms to match cloud

requirements is time consuming and hard to understand

• Managing Costs: cloud capacity, multiple solutions

and services options, billing cycles, and training

employees all require additional expenditures and can

become increasingly hard to manage

• Selecting the Right Cloud Solution: understanding

if private, public cloud or a hybrid is best for your SAP

application landscape requires an in-depth analysis
