Considerations for your SAP Workload on Cloud

Share this post:

As an existing or potential SAP customer you may be investigating and analyzing SAP’s roadmap and how it affects your organization, especially from an infrastructure standpoint.  Many SAP customers are asking:

1. Should I move to SAP HANA and when?
2. Should I move my SAP workload to the Cloud?
3. What kind of Cloud (Private, Public) OR  Should it stay on-premise?
4. Should I do both?
5. Where is SAP taking HANA with S4/HANA and how does it impact my infrastructure?

New technologies of Cloud, IoT, Blockchain, Cognitive computing and AI are disrupting in way business is done.  SAP customers are looking at S/4HANA and SAP Cloud Platform as the way to enable themselves for these technologies. SAP & IBM have already announced the availability of the SAP Cloud Platform as a Single Tenant Edition on IBM Cloud Private some time back and we are excited to launch pilot experiments with clients now, as a prelude to general availability in Q1 2020.

IBM has been helping clients successfully move to HANA since 2014 and to deploy SAP workloads on either self-managed or fully managed cloud environments. And with the recent launch of IBM Rapid Move for SAP S/4 HANA Services, IBM helps simplify migration, enabling Enterprises to safely and securely move to the future at pace.

If you are at #SAPTechEd in Bangalore next week, don’t forget to join Ratnakar Reddy for his Lecture Hall session at 2pm on November 14^th where he will describe IBM Services capabilities for SAP as a prelude to a conversation with a leading construction engineering enterprise on how they achieved operational efficiencies and drove business value with SAP S/4 HANA adoption.
