A digital migration over to updated systems is a business overhaul that leaves many CIOs waking up in a cold sweat at night. A top-to-bottom upgrade of an organization’s entire digital offerings can be a resource-heavy and costly venture.
Migrating over to SAP S/4HANA is a big decision to make for any business, and one that can be made with confidence with the help of Google Cloud’s new migration tool, RaMP (Rapid Migration and Modernization Program).
RaMP is, ultimately, a holistic solution, offering customers the opportunity to leverage the right expertise and best practices to gain control over a digital migration; reducing risks and getting a better handle of costs can help simplify the journey of a cloud-based transformation to S/4HANA.

Google Cloud’s migration tool helps simplify the transformation journey by initially helping decision-makers and business leadership understand exactly what their IT landscape looks like. By gaining a better understanding of in-house IT capabilities, leadership can zero-in on exactly what kind of cloud app would be best suited for a specific need.
The next step is gaining a greater understanding of which workloads work best for the cloud. Once a method has been decided on how the workloads will be migrated, a foundation can be built in the cloud. RaMP offers users access to a Cloud Center of Excellence team that can provide insight into best practices and helps set blueprints for how exactly a team can scale and migrate effectively.
After a deep understanding of business IT operations and workloads is obtained, and focusing on the workloads that are ideal for cloud operations, the migrations can begin. RaMP encourages users to analyze and evaluate at every step of the migration process so the process can be fine-tuned for the rest of the migration journey. Once the first initial migrations are underway, assessment of how the workloads are performing can be taken, allowing IT teams to apply optimization techniques where needed.
Ultimately, RaMP sets up an organization’s migration program to run like a flywheel – the initial experience gained from the migration of workloads to SAP S/4HANA can be used to fully refine and optimize the migration process with each subsequent migration. By instilling a robust and efficient migration methodology early in a firm’s migration journey, business leaders can take full advantage of cloud capabilities earlier.
