There can be significant benefits in terms of cost, but this trend also aligns closely with many post-pandemic board priorities. The reliability and security of cloud platforms helps boost resilience; the flexibility and ability to scale up and down in line with acquisitions, divestments and new business lines enables a focus on long-term value; and large pools of data on hyperscaler platforms opens up new channels for innovation outside of a company’s ERP software.

This is why the majority of the largest companies have moved, are moving or are planning to move their SAP landscape to a cloud hyperscaler platform.
