What is at stake in the SAP cloud migration decision?   You are not alone if you are feeling the pressure. Many long-time SAP customers are navigating SAPs push toward SaaS and PaaS models. While the benefits are clear, the challenges are equally significant—especially for those managing highly customized legacy SAP systems built over the years.   As leaders in this transformation, our aim is to guide you toward success by drawing from our extensive cloud migration experience. Here are a few critical factors to consider when approaching SAP cloud migration:   ✅ Thorough Assessment is Key: Before embarking on cloud migration, it is essential to evaluate your current infrastructure and systems. Factors like application complexity, cloud readiness, business impact, and operational demands must all be considered ✅ Customization vs. Cloud-Native Solutions: Your heavily customized on-premise SAP system would not simply “lift and shift” to the cloud. The best approach may be a hybrid solution that combines cloud services - such as BTP with your existing custom logic. ✅ Robust Cloud Governance Structure: It is essential to set clear governance policies right from the beginning of your cloud journey. Whether you opt for SaaS, PaaS, or a hybrid approach, establishing well-defined rules early on will ensure smooth operations, maintain compliance, and prevent issues down the road. ✅ Strategic Financial Considerations: Migrating to the cloud involves more than just IT—it is a significant financial and organizational shift. Ensure you have a clear understanding of contract terms, renewal conditions, and cost comparisons between on-premises and cloud solutions before making a decision.   Reality Check: While the cloud offers immense potential, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Careful planning and customization are key to success.   How has SAP’s shift to SaaS and PaaS impacted you? Share your challenges or successes—we would love to hear!    #SAPBTP #CloudMigration #DigitalTransformation #CYAN360

SAP Global Private Equity group have seen a fast-growing maturity uplift around ERP (greenfield or OnP migration) within the Operating partners community. It is becoming either a pre-requisite or one part of the value creation playbook (especially in build-up strategy or carve-out transactions). Why ? Because ERP Cloud strategy (industry best practices, AI embedded in business processes, technology platform for integration, extension and data management) are fully aligned with Private Equity firm objectives: how to grow a business (top/bottom line) in a timely, cost-efficient and sustainable manner. Thanks Moritz Hagenmüller for this article! #SAPPrivateequity, Anish Kundi, Elizabeth Gilbert, Lizbeth Brogna-VenturaJake Krautwurst, Jaclyn Hoye, Dominik Asam, Stanley King (Skip)
