Businesses – small and large – planning to migrate part or all of their SAP landscapes to the cloud find themselves with many questions and very few data points to help them make informed decisions.  The size and specifics of an SAP landscape will differ from company to company, and the cloud migration planning and implementation strategy will depend on business-specific variables.

IDC surveyed more than 600 organizations worldwide about their experiences migrating SAP to the cloud and shared their findings in this white paper. In it you’ll find data around three themes, including:

  • The Process: The migration process, such as timing, types of migration, and the hurdles faced when migrating SAP to the cloud
  • The Destination: The characteristics of a typical SAP on IaaS landscape, including nature, size, and cost
  • The Results: The perceived improvements with SAP on IaaS —benefits, metrics, and satisfaction levels

While customer journeys are unique, IDC finds there is relatively little dissatisfaction with the destination. Once the SAP workloads that customers want to run in the cloud are indeed in the cloud, they contribute strongly to an organization’s digital transformation.
