Creating a future-ready enterprise with Google Cloud & SAP

About this event

 

For many businesses in Asia, SAP workloads are business critical. So, when SAP sets 2025 as the deadline for when its ERP systems will run on only one database – SAP HANA, it puts many organisations on notice.

The deadline, however, presents more than a date to upgrade an organisation’s core system. It is an opportunity to undertake a company-wide modernisation alongside its transformation initiative starting with a cloud migration.

But as IDC warns, cloud migration of SAP workloads is more complex than simply moving general-purpose applications to the cloud. Factors such as duration, costs, availability of tools, integration of the SAP landscape, and the complexities of creating a hybrid cloud platform are just some of the issues that come into an SAP cloud migration exercise.

A 2022 Valantic survey of organisations with SAP S/4HANA conversion projects listed difficulty of estimating cost and effort (72.1%), lack of internal resources and expertise (72.1%), and expected difficulties with in-house developments/modifications (41.9%) as the top three challenges.

This 16th August, CXOCIETY, in partnership with Google Cloud and SAP, invites you to a virtual forum that will address these challenges with an approach that IDC says will yield five-months payback and 272% average three-year ROI.

Forrester says the approach “unlocks game-changing uptime improvements, cost savings, and productivity wins.”

But don’t take our word for it. Come join us on 16th August 2022 and hear from practitioners and those who have taken the journey, their challenges, strategies and learnings in their “Advancing innovation through cloud-native integration.”

See you on 16th August.
