When will your Wizard prototype become reality?
The cooking process takes some time to get it right, but our team is making great progress. Stay tuned, the launch is expected for Q3 2022.
Who will benefit from this solution?
This solution is ideal for SAP Partners who are dealing with new customer requests, enabling to get instant pricing and quickly deploy everything through us.
Furthermore, it is beneficial for anyone who wants to upgrade their existing environment or is dissatisfied with their current performance (for example, SAP can often appear to run slowly, especially if customer has large DB). IBM Powers greatly increase performance and simplify whole infrastructure setup at the same time in such cases.
Regardless of the above, all existing customers will have to migrate to SAP S/4HANA in the future and we make this transition as easy and convenient as it gets.
Why SAP?
SAP is the world leader in enterprise applications in terms of software and software-related service revenue. Based on market capitalization, they are the world's third largest independent software manufacturer.
Why did we decide to build on SUSE?
SUSE and SAP have a long-time partnership, creating an OS that supports SAP applications better than any other. In fact, SAP develops its world-famous SAP applications on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. In addition, SUSE has 95% of S/4HANA overall market share.
Why is migration to S/4 HANA important for all SAP customers?
SAP ECC 6.0 will be fully supported only until 2027 – after that, all customers will need to switch to Linux and run on S/4HANA. In fact, your legacy ERP system is already outdated when it comes to leveraging the intelligent technologies needed to be competitive today. More importantly, with thousands of customers needing to migrate by fix deadline, the time is running out and things will only get worse, as there are limited amounts of migration specialists available out there. That's why automation tools are becoming crucial, as they simplify & accelerate the preparation of the new environment. And that's why it is wise to make move to modern, intelligent ERP now.
