SAP from the AWS Cloud

This is reported in the new "ISG Provider Lens AWS Ecosystem Partners Report Germany 2021" by Information Services Group (ISG). Although many user companies still have reservations about AWS-SAP, especially since SAP solutions often control business-critical processes in the company, a change in strategy in the direction of the cloud is increasingly being observed. According to the ISG analysts, the growth of the rest of the AWS business and that of the AWS service providers is also unabated, especially as the trend towards cloud native is gaining momentum in Germany. According to a recent ISG study for the EuroCloud Native association, 22 percent of users and planners of cloud solutions in German companies with more than 50 employees are already using cloud native. A further 27 percent are planning to do so within the next twelve months.

Only three percent do not even consider cloud-native solutions. Accordingly, numerous IT service providers are also investing in business with AWS-SAP. According to the study, customers expect the following capabilities from their service providers: a broad portfolio, comprehensive resources and, above all, industry expertise. Large international companies often turn to service providers with a global presence, while smaller and mid-sized companies primarily expect solutions from a single source and with a strong local presence in Germany.
