Digitalize, modernize and grow your business with a tailored public or private cloud solution
Fujitsu and SAP on Azure
Improve your business efficiency, insight and innovation with Fujitsu and SAP on Azure
Migrate your SAP ERP and S/4HANA solutions to the Cloud and build a sustainable business foundation with intelligence firmly at its core.
In any cloud strategy, modernizing for improved agility, resilience and innovation while unlocking data-driven insight to enhance customer experiences, deliver sustainability goals and reduce costs, is essential for business success and growth.
If like many organizations, on-premises SAP systems form your business-critical technology backbone – from financials, sales and operations through to the supply chain – then it may be time to consider a different approach. An on-premises SAP strategy might work fine for you now, but long-term that won’t enable you to transform to innovate, evolve and grow into the future.
There are many approaches to the journey to the cloud and ERP modernization, and many decisions need to be made in your migration planning to minimise a potentially costly and risky process.
Work with Fujitsu and SAP on Azure. Together, we’ll migrate your SAP systems to the Cloud, empowering you to securely transform with speed and confidence so you’re ready to face any future disruption or opportunities that come your way.

ERP modernization is a costly and risky process. Decisions need to be made and you will face many dilemmas on your journey.

Listen to Ashok Patel, Research Manager, IDC discuss the SAP S/4HANA to AZURE migration journey. Looking at both the opportunities and the challenges organizations face on different journeys to the Cloud and the important decisions that must be made to ensure a successful migration.
Microsoft Azure scalable SAP cloud infrastructure - understanding the benefits to reap the rewards sooner
Microsoft Azure for SAP supports the complete SAP ERP suite including S/4HANA workloads of any size. High-performance services, with built-in threat prevention, deliver the agility needed to create new and innovative services and solutions faster and more securely than on-premises SAP systems.
Efficient processes
Manual tasks can add unwanted cost pressures, create work backlogs and leave your people feeling unfulfilled completing the same labor-intensive processes day after day.
Migrate to the Cloud, streamline your SAP estate and reduce reliance on manual actions to:
- Drive efficiency
- Manage costs
- Avoid technical restrictions
- Gain end-to-end visibility
- Rapidly provision applications
- Adapt and evolve at speed
Game-changing insights
If your SAP data lives in silos, is out of date or is not properly combined with non-SAP data, it’s impossible to gain the insight you need to make the right decisions across your business.
Migrate to the Cloud and gain a single real-time view of your data to:
- Rapidly respond to market trends and competition
- Set up new business models at speed
- Plan process improvements
- Run your business more predictably and safely
- Gain insight to improve customer experiences
Faster innovation
If your tools are old and rigid, they won’t allow your people to innovate and flourish creatively, but a rip-and-replace approach might take too much time, energy and cost.
Migrate to the Cloud and enhance applications with emerging technologies to:
- Innovate faster
- Respond to customer needs on demand
- Increase agility
- Gain access to systems and data from various devices through multiple interfaces
