Why Migrate to Azure Cloud

Migrating your SAP infrastructure to Azure Cloud creates a more dynamic and adaptable environment for your business. With Azure Cloud, you gain greater flexibility and scalability, so you can easily adjust to changing demands and scale resources as needed.

Using Azure for your SAP solutions provides many benefits, including strong security, high reliability, and a scalable, SAP-certified infrastructure. You can run a variety of SAP solutions on Azure to optimize your enterprise resource planning (ERP) in the cloud. These solutions include:

  • SAP HANA

  • SAP S/4HANA

  • SAP BW/4HANA

  • SAP Business Suite

A Forrester study, based on data from four Azure customers, highlights the following projected benefits:

  • Projected return on investment (ROI) of 206%

  • Projected net present value (NPV) of $2.19 million

  • 30% improvement in IT operations productivity

  • 80% reduction in the risk of data breaches from unsecured infrastructure

Migration Options to Azure Cloud with Saptix

When exploring migration options to Azure Cloud, Saptix offers two complete pathways designed to meet your organization’s specific needs.

Lift and Shift Migration
Saptix enables a fast and efficient move by transferring your existing SAP infrastructure directly to Azure Cloud. This method requires only minimal changes to your current SAP setup, ensuring a quick and smooth migration. Saptix helps you assess your environment, plan the migration, carry out the transition, and optimize performance afterward. This option is best for organizations that want a rapid migration with minimal disruption to their daily operations.
Re-Platforming and Optimization
For businesses wanting to modernize their SAP systems while migrating to Azure Cloud, Saptix offers re-platforming and optimization services. Saptix reviews your current SAP environment, identifies areas for improvement, and redesigns your solution to make the most of Azure Cloud’s features. This process involves moving SAP systems to Azure-native services to boost performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Saptix ensures a smooth migration, helping you gain the full benefits of Azure Cloud with minimal impact on your business.

Migration Scenarios

When companies migrate to Azure Cloud, Saptix offers expertise in two main scenarios: Classical Migration and the SAP Database Migration Option (DMO). In both cases, Saptix provides complete support from the initial assessment to post-migration optimization, ensuring a smooth transition and helping you get the most out of Azure Cloud.

Classical Migration

Classical Migration is best for organizations focused only on moving their SAP environment. Using SAP’s Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM), Saptix manages the database migration with a file-based approach—exporting data from your current system and importing it into the new system on Azure Cloud. This method is flexible and works with various databases, such as SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2.

SAP Database Migration Option (DMO)

For organizations wanting to upgrade SAP and migrate the database at the same time, Saptix specializes in the SAP Database Migration Option (DMO). DMO combines both steps into a single, automated process, often called a one-step migration. Saptix guides you through this process, including migration to the SAP HANA database. Unlike Classical Migration, DMO removes the need for a separate upgrade step, making the migration faster and less complex.

Basic Migration Steps

We’ll help you seamlessly migrate your SAP systems to Microsoft Azure by combining advanced cloud technology with Saptix’s deep SAP expertise. Together, we will follow six well-defined steps to ensure a smooth and successful transition.
