For every existing SAP customer, the move to the cloud is an almost unmanageable risk because there are too few trained experts and consultants. Google has ambitious plans in the SAP community.<\/p>\n<p>The only known German\/French SAP partner is currently suffering from intensive staff turnover and will probably be out of action for the first half of the year.<\/p>\n<p>MS Azure, which already has to share an SAP partner with Google, is no better off. AWS can at least convince with unrivaled prices, but it also lacks qualified SAP experts and consultants.<\/p>\n<p>In view of the cloud know-how deficit, every existing SAP customer is advised against a quick move to the cloud with Hana or S\/4.
