Seamlessly integrating Control-M with SAP S/4HANA on RISE with SAP
Meet the Authors
Key Takeaways
⇨ RISE with SAP offers significant benefits for organizations transitioning to the cloud, including cost reduction, enhanced security, and access to real-time data.
⇨ Despite its advantages, migrating to SAP S/4HANA presents challenges such as integration issues and complexities associated with cloud technology and requirements.
⇨ Utilizing solutions like Control-M can help organizations streamline their SAP workflows, enhance visibility, and efficiently manage the migration process while minimizing operational disruptions.
RISE with SAP is an ERP solution that enables organizations to migrate to the cloud. Organizations that make this journey benefit from reduced costs, flexibility, better business management, enhanced security, improved compliance, collaboration and integration, and access to real-time data.
Avoiding complexities when migrating to the cloud
However, migrating to SAP S/4HANA comes with its own set of challenges. For example, RISE with SAP consolidates services under SAP, which can limit business flexibility in integrating with other systems. Some other challenges include:
- Connectivity and integration issues because of profile connection, where and how SAP agents are hosted, and limitations to Infrastructure as a solution (IaaS) or process as a solution (PaaS) and OS Access.
- RISE with SAP operates on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or SAP’s own data centers), which may introduce challenges in establishing secure and reliable connections with on-premises Control-M environments.
- Frequent changes in Cloud requirements and technology create complexity.
- Troubleshooting Cloud Architecture can also be time-consuming
Still, RISE with SAP and its many benefits remain a great option for organizations moving to SAP/S/4HANA, especially with the 2027 SAP migration deadline looming for on-premises users.
