Unlock the value of cloud - on your terms

By 2027, SAP will end support for non-HANA databases. For many users, this transition provides the perfect opportunity to move critical applications to the cloud and start using SAP Cloud Platform to develop and deploy enterprise applications. But why is cloud so appealing?

Aside from the larger promise of agility and infrastructure savings, the day-to-day benefits for SAP deployments in the cloud include:

  • Accelerating projects

  • Simplifying operations

  • Integrating applications

Wherever you are on your SAP cloud journey, we’ll help you build your data fabric to elevate your cloud experience—when you’re ready. We won’t rush you. And we’ll pole-vault you right over the cloud bar in record time. 

Ivancica preps for the jump to cloud

Clearing the hurdles to cloud

When hydraulics expert HANSA-FLEX needed to update its SAP systems, it decided to make the move to HANA. Using Azure NetApp Files, the company achieved its fastest cloud migration to-date, deploying 20 performance-intensive and latency-sensitive workloads in Azure.

After HANSA-FLEX migrated, its SAP database used two-thirds less space, providing major infrastructure cost savings.

Handling the heavy lifting of huge data

When you’ve got data to move, you don’t want your cloud solution to drag you down just because it can’t handle the volume. Like a good shot putter, your cloud has to take that heavy data and get it where it needs to go.

CONA Services, IT provider for Coca-Cola bottlers, needed a cloud solution that could handle one of the world’s largest SAP HANA migrations. Partnered with Capgemini, Microsoft, SAP, and NetApp, CONA Services saw faster performance, lower costs, and better data insights after a successful migration.
