Key Takeaways
⇨ The journey towards an intelligent enterprise under the SAP RISE program should be marked by a structured approach encompassing preparation, migration, and the ultimate run phase.
⇨ OpenText™, in collaboration with SAP, offers strategic solutions designed to effectively navigate and overcome the challenges encountered during the transition to cloud environments.
⇨ OpenText's collaboration with SAP through the RISE program significantly benefits organizations by accelerating the migration to SAP S/4HANA, reducing total cost of ownership (TCO), increasing return on investment (ROI), simplifying compliance, minimizing risk, and enhancing scalability.
The transition to cloud adoption presents several challenges for organizations, particularly in managing and integrating legacy SAP applications which are costly to maintain, difficult to access, and pose compliance risks. To migrate these systems efficiently and compliantly, businesses need an innovative and well-planned strategy. This includes ensuring that only essential, current data is moved to the cloud, while figuring out how to handle residual applications and data that still need to be accessible for compliance and operational reasons.
OpenText offers solutions to these challenges through its InfoArchive service, which supports both structured and unstructured data. This service helps maintain data integrity, ensures secure lifecycle management, and allows compliant access to data, facilitating a smoother transition to newer systems like SAP S/4HANA. The InfoArchive process involves steps such as extracting data, analyzing legacy structures, and creating storage applications, all aimed at efficient archiving and decommissioning of old applications while ensuring data privacy and compliance. This approach not only addresses compliance and operational efficiency but also aims to reduce the financial burden of maintaining legacy systems in a cloud environment.
