Historically the most common path used to migrate SAP ERP to cloud has been the migration of legacy ERP landscapes to the cloud with minimal transformation. At most, transformation was the migration of the database to HANA or the OS. Over the last two years with the increasing adoption of S/4HANA, it is taking on an increasing proportion of SAP cloud adoptions; whether through migration of a legacy environment or through a new implementation on the cloud. However, NelsonHall estimates it still represents less than 40% of SAP ERP cloud migrations completed by vendors to date.
Clients that have undertaken the migration or adoption of SAP ERP landscapes in cloud environments have most commonly realized value through the reduction of IT and ERP costs. The shift from on-premise infrastructure to a cloud landscape with the ability to scale up and down to meet demand and eliminate on-going operations and maintenance allows clients to realize IT cost savings of 20-30% on average.
Vendors are expanding their portfolio of cloud adoption offerings to ensure their portfolio has the breadth to meet client needs. A technical lift and shift of a legacy SAP ERP environment has been the starting point for ERP cloud adoption offerings but now leading vendors are offering bundled offerings that provide an industrialized migration to a new landscape pre-configured to address specific industry or functional requirements.
To deliver these services, IT service vendors are investing heavily in their SAP ERP Cloud Migration capabilities. These investments are frequently focused in four main areas:
- Transforming the skillsets of their teams
- Evolving cloud-focused offerings
- Evolve and mature assets and tools
- Expand portfolio of industry-focused offerings.
