Migration: Mission critical applications like SAP ECC6.0 or SAP S/4HANA have various underlying layers like Operating Systems and Databases. In most cases, both are provided by third-party providers who keep upgrading their solutions and hence the SAP installations also need to be migrated to new versions of those OS and DB. Sometimes even a hardware refresh requires migrations to a new setup. Few years back SAP introduced HANA Database and is asking their customers to update the HANA DB. So numerous migration scenarios exist and customers need support, guidance, and end-to-end services to execute these migrations in a non-disruptive manner, with minimal downtime and zero impact on business processes. The most common update and migration to HANA DB also called Suite on HANA. We have skills and experience in handling many such projects successfully.

Upgrades: SAP keeps on upgrading their application to take care of evolving business needs and provide bug fixes, etc. Change in taxation and Govt. policies also leads to need for developing solutions and patches that need to be deployed to customer environments. Deploying such solutions in a non-disruptive way is a complex task, and we make it a cakewalk with our experience.
SAP Cloud Migration: Cloud technologies are adopted by businesses faster than any other technology. With significant savings on CAPEX and flexibility to have on-demand infrastructure based on needs, cloud technologies have offered immense business value and direct business case for any customer. SAP cloud offerings have been one of the irresistible value propositions to its customers. This is evidenced by the growth of SAP cloud sales in 2015 doubled at € 2.3 Billion and SAP anticipates 2.6 times cloud sales by 2020 in comparison with their cloud sales as at the end of 2016
