Many organizations are making important decisions about ERP landscape modernization.
The transition to cloud-based solutions like SAP S/4HANA is no longer a choice but a strategic necessity. However, the journey to the cloud has its challenges, from concerns about data security to the complexities of migrating existing systems.
This is where RISE with SAP comes in: a comprehensive offering designed to simplify and accelerate your move to the cloud. At SNP, we understand the intricacies of this transition and are dedicated to navigating you confidently through the process.
We'll be talking about how SNP’s approach to RISE with SAP can transform your cloud migration into a strategic advantage. Let’s begin.
RISE with SAP is more than just a cloud migration service; it’s a comprehensive business transformation offering that simplifies your journey to SAP S/4HANA. Designed to provide everything you need for a successful cloud transition, RISE with SAP bundles essential components such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud, business process intelligence, and SAP Business Technology Platform.
The core of RISE with SAP lies in its flexibility and holistic approach. Whether you are moving to the SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition or opting for a public cloud setup (cloud infrastructure hosting services can be provisioned by the hyperscaler partner of your choice: AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft), RISE with SAP tailors the migration to your specific needs. This package not only supports your technological shift but also enhances your business processes, making them more agile and efficient.
You might recognize some of these barriers to performing a cloud migration:
Despite the clear advantages, many organizations are still hesitant to fully embrace cloud migration. Several key concerns often hold them back:
One of the primary fears is the security of sensitive business data in the cloud. Companies worry about potential breaches and loss of control over their information.
Migrating to the cloud involves integrating new systems with existing ones, which can be complex and resource-intensive. The potential for operational disruptions during this process is a significant concern.
Businesses fear the downtime that might occur during the migration process, impacting their operations and service delivery.
Justifying the cost of migration, especially when there are already significant investments in existing infrastructure, can be challenging. Decision-makers need clear evidence of the return on investment and long-term benefits.
Moving to the cloud often requires changes in business processes and staff roles, which can meet with resistance within the organization. Effective change management strategies are essential to mitigate this resistance.
By choosing RISE with SAP, organizations can overcome these common migration challenges. The offering addresses key concerns such as data security, system downtime, and integration complexities. With expert guidance and robust tools, RISE with SAP ensures a smooth transition, allowing you to focus on innovation and growth. Here’s how:
Choosing the right partner for your cloud migration can make all the difference. SNP has extensive experience in carrying out RISE with SAP projects, ensuring that organizations transition smoothly to SAP S/4HANA. Here’s why SNP stands out:
SNP provides a detailed, fact-based blueprint of the entire migration project. This ensures clarity and predictability in terms of the project scope, duration, and costs.
One of the major concerns during the migration is downtime. SNP’s approach focuses on achieving near-zero downtime for all systems, minimizing disruption to business operations. A great example of this is our work with Coop, a leading retail and wholesale company, where we managed their cloud migration with minimal downtime.
With SNP’s automated, software-based approach, the migration process is significantly streamlined, saving both time and resources. Our tools are designed to automate many of the complex tasks involved in migration, reducing the manual effort required.
SNP’s methodologies ensure a predictable migration process with clearly defined timelines and deliverables. This helps organizations plan better and avoid unexpected delays or costs.
Not all data needs to be migrated. SNP’s selective data migration approach ensures that only relevant data is moved, resulting in a leaner, more efficient system.
SNP offers solutions to keep historical data accessible without the high costs typically associated with maintaining decommissioned systems. This means your organization can retain valuable data insights while moving forward with new technologies.
A critical component of our successful migrations is the use of our advanced tools and methodologies. Let’s take a closer look:
SNP’s CrystalBridge platform and the innovative BLUEFIELD approach allow for a customized migration strategy. Whether it’s a brownfield, greenfield, or hybrid migration, SNP tailors the process to meet your specific needs, combining the best aspects of each approach for optimal results.
CrystalBridge is designed to streamline the migration process through advanced automation and data intelligence. It helps in assessing, planning, and performing migrations with precision, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.
The BLUEFIELD approach combines the best of both brownfield and greenfield strategies. This hybrid approach allows you to selectively migrate data and processes that are critical to your business, while leaving behind outdated systems and practices.
A great example of our selective migration approach in action is our work with Indumotora, an automotive organization from Chile. The Indumotora case study demonstrates how we successfully implemented RISE with SAP, ensuring a seamless and efficient transition to SAP S/4HANA.
By leveraging CrystalBridge and the BLUEFIELD approach, SNP ensures a tailored migration process that aligns with your business goals and operational requirements. Our methods not only reduce the complexity and risk of migration but also accelerate the entire process, delivering results faster.
