The Fujitsu SAP on Azure Assessment

The first step of your cloud adoption journey

Utilizing solutions such as RISE with SAP and SAP Signavio, we help you to exploit cloud services, modernize your ERP landscape and transform your processes to unlock value in your data, innovate at speed and increase resilience to future proof your business.

We begin by working with you to gain a good understanding of your existing SAP environment. We do this by analyzing the underlying infrastructure of your applications, consider your current deployment as well as usage, processes, applications and data. Then, using what we’ve learned, we work with you to develop an effective cloud migration strategy that’s right for you.

Our assessment includes:

• A discovery of your digital estate
• A definition of your business outcomes and challenges
• An evaluation of your cloud maturity
• An actionable roadmap to help you organize how to achieve your cloud migration goal
• A consideration of your application migration approach – Brownfield, Greenfield or BLUEFIELD™

Migrating SAP to the Cloud

We determine which migration strategies can be applied to your environment and help you to understand your options and the differences between:
