customers

On-premises and hosted SAP environments can’t keep up
Manual/slow processes
Key business processes are
batch processed, manual tasks
that are expensive and slow down
functions across the business
Slow innovation
The business is slow to innovate
given the time it takes to
experiment, set-up and tear down
IT infrastructure resulting in long
time to value
Poor insight
Data lives in silos, moves slowly,
and is not properly combined
with non-SAP data to drive
better decision making

A new digital core powered by SAP HANA® – in the cloud
can power better business processes, innovation and insights
Faster, simpler processes
SAP HANA’s in-memory
technology speeds up business
process transactions and Azure
offers a high performance
infrastructure for SAP HANA
Accelerated innovation
Accelerate innovation by removing
barriers and time to set up systems,
enabling fast experimentation –
accelerating the build, measure
and learn cycle
360 insight
Generate compelling insights
by aggregating SAP and non-
SAP data to provide a 360°
view of markets, transactions
and customers

Lift and shift | Migrating SAP AnyDB to AnyDB on Azure
Option 1: Backup/Restore method
1. Backup source SAP AnyDB Database
2. Copy backup into Azure
3. Restore in Azure VM that runs your DBMS instance
4. Set up log-shipping for changes to be applied to the
Azure hosted instances
5. Stop the on-premise SAP instance.
6. Take a last transaction log backup and copy to the
Azure hosted instance and apply
7. Start SAP system in Azure
8. Perform post-system copy tasks
Option 2: Export/Import method
1. Set up migration tools on-premise for exporting the SAP data
and set up the components needed for importing on Azure
2. Shut down the SAP system hosted on-premise
3. Start export processes on-premise and start copying finished
export packages into Azure
4. Start the import of copied packages into the Azure
hosted DBMS instance while the export processes still
create new export packages on-premise
5. Continue until all packages are exported and imported
6. Perform post-migration tasks

2. Run export using the SAP Data Migration Options (DMO) system move tool for the on-premise SAP server
3. Upload finished export files to Azure through ExpressRoute from the on premise SAP server in sequential or parallel mode
4. Parallel mode is used to minimize downtime
5. Run import using SAP DMO System Move option in Azure
6. Run all post-migration steps for the Azure SAP App server

Migrate to S/4HANA

S/4HANA migration is not just a technical migration
S/4HANA simplifies many of the ERP business processes
Customers need to evaluate and understand the impact of current ERP processes changes in S/4HANA
Decide on system conversion vs. a greenfield approach
Review SAP simplification item catalog that describes
changes in S/4HANA that could have an impact on
older SAP ERP
Check for 3rd party applications certification for S/4HANA
Prerequisites for conversion
Upgrade to ECC 6.0 EHP7
Unicode compliance
Minimizes impact to End users
Evaluate Fiori UI and Apps
Take a fresh start approach to refresh legacy customizations
Start with some key business processes first to pilot
Moving from Non SAP ERP or other legacy systems
Requires training end users with new processes
Platform for future modernizations with S/4HANA roadmap
System conversion to S/4HANA Greenfield implementation of S/4HANA
