Targeted business outcomes - AWS Prescriptive Guidance

Targeted business outcomes

Using AWS automations for SAP, you can use features that are native to the cloud to simplify tasks and improve agility, performance, and scalability. For example, you can:

  • Build once and deploy a solution globally

  • Launch SAP systems in minutes rather than in weeks

  • Scale systems based on actual demand

  • Automatically deploy complex SAP topologies

  • Automatically run routine SAP operations without human intervention

  • Reduce the risk of human error

  • Improve the operational reliability of the SAP system

  • Integrate SAP with other AWS services

  • Reduce the frequency of manual, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks and allow your SAP administrators to focus on innovation

Enterprises that migrate SAP to AWS benefit from this migration through reduced infrastructure costs in their first two years of being on AWS. However, an IDG study from 2018 shows that many enterprises reported additional benefits after two years, including improved efficiencies, increased innovation, improved availability and uptime, improved customer experience, and faster time to market. For more information, see Customers say running SAP workloads on AWS yields robust business benefits in addition to immediate cost savings (IDG white paper).
