Choosing the right cloud partner for SAP migrations
Choosing the right cloud partner for SAP migrations in a post-pandemic world
Cloud technology helps businesses in more ways than just supporting remote working. A top advantage is that it helps to support enterprise application modernisation. However, when SAP ERP users were asked what their biggest challenges are with this, the top answer was finding a partner.
Around 80% of European businesses use public cloud for SAP workloads, with plans to increase usage over the next two years. This has been fuelled by the rise in remote and hybrid workers due to the pandemic. Businesses are now increasingly modernising their enterprise apps to run workloads in distributed locations such as edge, data centres, and various cloud environments.
