SAP S/4 Cloud Journey

Your situation as an SAP user

The current situation is challenging. The SAP S/4 HANA transformation, the expiring ECC support (end of 2027) and the new options for operating your future environment require immediate decisions for your SAP ERP system.

Migrating your SAP systems to the cloud and moving to SAP HANA Cloud are challenging tasks. Your business and your IT team must master them.

Your SAP system on Cloud

Deciding whether to run RISE, SAP Cloud Platform, in the public cloud or on-premises is particularly important:

• Considerations related to the complexity of SAP systems
• Customization of SAP workloads
• Data quality and consistency
• Change management
• Scarce resources and costs

The choice of operating model is as important as the choice of hyperscaler as a cloud provider.

Discover the opportunities and benefits of running SAP on the different hyperscalers with PCG:

• SAP on AWS
• SAP on Azure
• SAP on GCP

5 steps to success

PCG has developed a best practice process to simplify the planning and implementation of your SAP Cloud journey. This ensures that you and your team are optimally prepared for the SAP migration and subsequent operations.

Our service for your SAP S/4 Cloud Journey is divided into 5 phases:

Phase 1: ASSESS

We begin our relationship with an assessment consisting of a workshop and analysis of your current SAP environment. We get to know you and your IT team, and together we look at your current SAP landscape.

We show you the basic options for migration and operation. We explain the project process and discuss the pros and cons. We also explain the services you can expect from your secure SAP cloud solution.

Of course, we also take the time to answer any questions you may have.

Phase 2: MOBILIZE

Based on the results of Phase 1, we plan the target architecture and begin implementation immediately. We work directly in your environment with a proof of concept.

Phase 3: MIGRATE

Phase 2 has been successfully completed and the proof of concept has been confirmed. In Phase 3 we start the migration. Your SAP landscape is mapped to the cloud and the S/4 HANA transformation is performed.

Phase 4: OPERATE

Phase 4 of your journey to SAP S/4 Cloud is all about operating SAP in the cloud. With ALPACA, we offer both full managed service and self-service. We support you in a successful conversion and transition.

Phase 5: INNOVATE

In addition to regular operations, we want to provide you with everything you need for a future-proof SAP Cloud operation. We show you how you can use the cloud services to innovate in the long term.
