Define your SAP Migration Strategy to AWS

As businesses today are facing severe competition globally amidst the unpredicted outbreak of the pandemic, many are considering starting the journey of digital transformation to stay competitive in the market. However, before customers can make a success of migrating SAP workloads to the cloud, many of you will probably need to persuade certain stakeholders that it’s worth making the move.

We know that making the shift to the cloud with important workloads like SAP can be terrifying. Customers can’t afford downtime and you can’t allow mistakes. Therefore, customers need to build a business case that can demonstrate a range of compelling benefits that the cloud can provide your business, and most importantly, always start with why. Below are the tips for migrating your workload to AWS.

6 PRACTICAL TIPS FOR MIGRATING YOUR SAP SYSTEMS TO AWS CLOUD

ASSESS YOUR SAP  INFRASTRUCTURE &  PLAN ACCORDINGLY

The key objective of starting the journey of SAP cloud migration is to provide the exact functionality you promised the business stakeholders. To start with, you must assess the landscape and choose what to migrate to the cloud and when. One of the key aspects of the plan is to assess compatibility with the cloud provider system. Check the compatibility of your SAP applications and databases, as well as the software portability. This assessment will enable you to put in place a meticulous plan, that details the migration from beginning to end, to ensure that everyone is on board with how you will be executing the migration.

ENSURE RIGHT SIZING
 

To get an idea of the storage size you need; you must evaluate the number of SAPs you need for each system. Do not over-provisioning the number of virtual machines in avoid budget waste. So, provisioning conservatively may be a good start as you can always scale up and down regarding your business needs.

ENGAGE PARTNER WITH EXPERTISE

It’s common not finding a business having in-house cloud and SAP experts on their payroll. Therefore, finding a partner with specialisms in SAP and cloud technologies to provide independent consulting, help with SAP architecture, design the cloud landscape, provide guidance, and help execute the migration becomes critical to your journey of SAP cloud migration.

CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSET

Moving to the cloud is an opportunity to throw away the things underutilized. All the inconsistent and redundant files should be removed before migrating your system from an on-premises edition to the cloud. This also helps simplify the SAP on AWS migration process.

BACK UP EVERYTHING

You don’t want to be upset during migration. Therefore, ensuring that you safeguard the process by backing up your current environment before attempting to migrate to the cloud is a crucial mindset and approach during migration.

GET PREPARED FOR POST-MIGRATION

You will usually find that your colleagues only put much emphasis on the “switch” day, and after that, they will expect things to go back to normal. This is just not the case. What you, and they, need to get prepared for is the required post-go-live tweaking, as well as ongoing SAP performance tuning, that will happen once you roll over to your new cloud landscape
