As a part of the digital transformation initiative, enterprises are looking for ways to better utilize disruptive technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Blockchain to gain a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining customers.
In order to achieve that, businesses are now turning to the cloud. As per a recent survey, 65% of IT decision-makers said the cloud is necessary to support organizations’ strategic business goals. But, when it comes to utilizing the cloud for mission-critical workloads such as SAP, they believe there will be some business risks associated with app performance, integration with other apps, security, compliance, business disruption, and costs.
Leveraging Cloud for Business Growth
Although there are some risks associated with migrating SAP workloads to the cloud, most SAP certified partners understand that the “cloud” is more than an alternate place to deploy SAP applications. They believe that continuing to limit offerings to the same old integration would mean missing an opportunity to increase revenue and grow business. With the right cloud platform, SAP partners have multiple opportunities to increase their revenue, including the following,
- SAP certified partners can quickly and cost-effectively build, replicate, and deploy new software that can add value to multiple clients’ deployments
- Integrate analytics and artificial intelligence to enable customers to derive insight from SAP databases
- Develop innovative solutions based on new technologies such as IoT and Blockchain to meet customer needs
- Easily integrate third-party applications and microservices into SAP applications, via APIs and templates available with the cloud platform
