Accelerate Your SAP Cloud Transformation with the Migration Readiness Accelerator for RISE with SAP on AWS

For organizations looking to modernize their SAP ERP systems, RISE with SAP on AWS offers a powerful opportunity to move toward a more agile, secure, and scalable cloud future. The path to cloud ERP transformation is complex, and many businesses face challenges around limited internal resources, custom legacy code, and unclear transformation roadmaps. To help companies make this transition, AWS and SAP have jointly launched the Migration Readiness Accelerator for RISE with SAP on AWS—a complimentary offering designed to help customers assess, plan, and confidently prepare for the move to SAP S/4HANA in the cloud. 

This new program provides prescriptive guidance, data-driven insights, and tooling support to ensure your RISE migration is smooth, structured, and aligned with your broader business goals. 

A Comprehensive Readiness Framework to De-Risk Your Migration 

The Migration Readiness Accelerator is not a one-size-fits-all checklist—it’s a deep-dive assessment tailored to your existing SAP landscape and transformation goals. AWS and SAP work closely with your team to perform a detailed evaluation of your current ERP environment, helping you understand what’s needed for a successful transition. Key elements of the assessment include: 

• SAP Landscape Discovery: Automated/manual discovery of SAP applications, system sizing (CPU, memory, data footprint), and input for creating a RISE with SAP Bill of Materials (BOM). 

• SAP S/4HANA Readiness Check: Identification of custom objects, simplification items, and cloud compatibility of your ERP workloads. 

• ERP Transformation Analysis: Evaluation of business process transformation needs, custom ABAP programs, and opportunities for standardization. 

• Integration/Interface Discovery: Mapping of existing SAP and non-SAP interfaces to define migration dependencies. 

• Migration and Connectivity Planning: Review of high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) requirements, network readiness, and workload segmentation. 

Additionally, customers can choose to work with AWS Partners like KTern.AI, whose Digital Maps tool provides a non-invasive way to assess SAP environments. It analyzes system usage, identifies gaps, evaluates custom code, and automatically generates test scenarios to speed up planning—reducing assessment timelines by up to 4x. 

Accelerate Time-to-Value and Build a Strong Business Case 

With the Migration Readiness Accelerator, customers gain more than just technical clarity, they also receive critical input to support strategic decision-making. Deliverables include a detailed transformation roadmap, project planning insights, and a BOM aligned with RISE with SAP Private Cloud Edition. This helps align internal stakeholders, secure executive buy-in, and reduce migration risks.
