Cloud Migration Advisory Services
Concrete migration planning for those moving to the cloud
Overview
Syntax Cloud Migration Advisory Services are aimed at companies that are considering moving business-critical SAP systems and other important applications to the cloud and have selected an operating model and platform. This is when the critical phase of any cloud project begins: defining the appropriate hosting strategy, mapping the system landscape to be migrated and designing and planning the migration.
This is a task for experienced experts who have practical experience on such projects, as well as knowledge of what the SAP landscape will have to achieve in the future. In contrast to our Managed Cloud Services, this is not about supporting our customers in ongoing operations, but about operational consulting and methodical support in the development of a roadmap, preparation and planning. The decisions made here will influence the success of the cloud project for years to come.
The Cloud Migration Advisory Services consist of two components
Migration Readiness Assessment
Migration Readiness Planning
The assessment and planning services provide the necessary details for a successful and efficient migration of your applications to the cloud. Each service delivers clear results and, although they can easily be combined into an efficient whole, they can also be used separately.
Assessment of readiness to migrate
First, we look at the current status of the systems to be migrated.
- Which servers are available?
- Which logical links are available?
- Which SAP applications, applications that interact with SAP, does your company use?
Then comes the target image. What do you want to achieve and which configuration makes the most sense? The result: the technical details for the migration and initial approaches for a future operating environment.
This is followed by the concrete migration plan: What should the cloud architecture look like; which tools will be used? We define the future cloud operating model and plan the roadmap for the system migration. We also provide you with an initial estimate of the SAP operating costs in the cloud. If you wish, Syntax will also provide the cloud platform and test its feasibility with a pilot migration and fine-tune the assumptions and recommendations made if necessary.
The resulting deliverables include the technical details of migrating your applications to the cloud. They provide information on account strategies and operating models to help you realize the business benefits of the cloud
Migration Readiness Planning
Now that you know which systems you have and which you will need, Syntax offers migration readiness planning to minimize the costs and risks of your critical transition to the cloud.
