Migrating to the Cloud: An Alternative for SAP Customers

Wed, 2 Dec 2009 16:27:00 EST

These customers now face the frightening prospect of upgrading their instances of SAP across the entire company, which is an expensive and high-risk undertaking. The cost of such an upgrade threatens to squeeze most other important IT projects outparticularly at the divisional or subsidiary level.

Discover a hybrid model, with SAP running at the corporate parent and NetSuite deployed at independent divisions or international subsidiaries.

Such a hybrid model not only lowers the overall cost and resources that are required to migrate to a new version of SAP, but also reduces the ongoing annual costs of keeping the systems working, thereby freeing up the IT budget for more strategic investments.
