For many organizations the SAP environment is
a behemoth; a core application for business
operations. It touches most business units
and is critical to financial transactions, supply
chains, HR, payroll and more. So, when
customers are thinking about moving to the
cloud the key considerations will always be
time and cost.
“If I'm a CIO and I want to figure out what
it's going to take to get me into the cloud
environment. I've got to dedicate members
of my team to analysing that proposition
just to figure out my strategy; and that can
be very expensive,” reasons Compton. “At
NTT we’ve partnered with Microsoft and
developed a micro-site with an assessment
tool that allows customers to build that
picture for free; they don’t need to hire us to
make that assessment. What does their SAP
environment look like? What applications
do they have? What is the size of the
environment? And through that intake, we're
able to provide a report providing that picture
and how long it might take to migrate these
environments; and perhaps most importantly,
what the estimated cost would look like. What
is your business going to be like in the cloud
environment? Is it truly a cost saving? Where
is the ROI?”
This assessment strategy is all about
the automation and standardization of new“ We’re able to remove the
barriers to cloud adoption and
help our customers modernize
SAP architecture to optimize
processes and increase
productivity.”Kirk Compton
