Migrating to AWS is more than a technical upgrade; it’s a strategic shift that accelerates digital transformation. By transitioning SAP applications (on-premise or RISE with SAP) to AWS Cloud, your enterprise can gain access to a rich ecosystem of next-gen technologies and solutions that drive innovation at every turn. With over 5,000 SAP customers already onboard, AWS supports your organization in adopting a cloud-native approach that enhances agility and scalability, positioning you for sustained growth and success.
The synergy between AWS and RISE with SAP helps your business to reimagine processes, elevate customer experiences, and achieve unmatched results. By leveraging the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) on AWS, companies can move beyond the complexities of system maintenance to focus on delivering impactful outcomes. Through seamless integration of advanced analytics, AI, and IoT capabilities, AWS helps optimize workflows, unlock new revenue streams, and scale more effectively—ultimately empowering you to stay ahead in the rapidly changing digital landscape.
Let’s discover AWS’s cutting-edge capabilities that fuel digital advancement and how Syntax maximizes the value of these technologies within the RISE with SAP framework.
Unleashing digital transformation with SAP on AWS
AWS Cloud elevates SAP landscapes by offering a dynamic, resilient, and cutting-edge cloud infrastructure that supports advanced technologies like GenAI, IoT, and real-time analytics. With continuous infrastructure updates, it ensures your organization stays ahead in its modernization journey.
Here’s how running RISE with SAP or SAP S/4HANA on AWS Cloud amplifies operations:
Industrial IoT
Seamless device connectivity is no longer optional—it’s a business imperative. AWS’s industrial IoT capabilities connect billions of devices across SAP environments, enabling real-time data collection, storage, and analysis. This integration facilitates intelligent automation, predictive maintenance, and improved operational performance. AWS IoT allows businesses to enhance device performance by up to 25x and integrate AI and ML for smarter operations.
For example, Synsights, Syntax’s IIoT solution built on AWS, leverages AWS IoT to capture real-time production data using sensors and cameras. This enables automated quality checks and enhances defect detection, supporting operational transparency. In the Smart Press Shop project, this technology contributed to increased production speed and reduced time to market by ensuring high-quality standards and efficient process management.
GenAI
Imagine a future where routine processes like financial reporting or inventory management are not just automated but predictive, saving your organization valuable time and resources. AWS makes this possible by offering access to industry-leading foundational models (FMs) and GenAI-powered applications while maintaining enterprise-grade security and privacy.
Whether you’re forecasting market trends or personalizing customer interactions, AWS reduces time to market by integrating pre-packaged GenAI solutions into your SAP environment, enhancing decision-making and progress.
Analytics and AI
Your SAP systems generate vast amounts of data, but the real value lies in how you use it. AWS equips you with analytics and AI tools designed to turn raw data into actionable insights, facilitating real-time monitoring and effective strategies. Predictive analytics powered by AWS allow you to anticipate customer needs, optimize pricing, and enhance marketing strategies, driving business transformation.
When combined with Syntax’s deep expertise, the analytics and AI capabilities of AWS deliver tangible business benefits, helping you achieve unparalleled operational efficiency. For instance, turned to Syntax to unify data from 23 global ERP systems, leveraging an AWS-powered data lake. With advanced analytics like ML-driven demand forecasting and automated pricing, they achieved remarkable results, including a 60% increase in production preparation speed, reduced storage costs, and a 15% reduction in time to market.
Intelligent automation
Managing repetitive tasks can slow your organization down and increase costs. AWS’s intelligent automation provides a solution by streamlining monitoring and accelerating issue resolution, freeing up resources for strategic initiatives. A serverless approach allows developers to focus on translating business logic into application code without the burden of server management.
This becomes even more impactful when paired with Syntax’s Intelligent Autonomous Platform (IAP), leading to elevated business operations and higher productivity and scalability for the future. By combining the power of the public cloud with Syntax’s ERP competence, IAP augments cloud capabilities to deliver autonomous and secure operations.
