SAP has been a foundational enterprise application for decades, setting the standard in enterprise resource planning and managing business processes. Many have wondered whether such a singular enterprise application could transition into the cloud era. Yet SAP is excellent in the cloud, and through Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Vodacom Business, it's never been more straightforward to migrate or adopt.

Cloud vs ERP

Enterprises value their enterprise resource planning software (ERPs) for supporting their customer businesses and the unique IP, data, and processes that have developed inside them over the years. Every ERP is unique to its business—those businesses would collapse if their ERP disappeared.

Yet, traditional ERPs don't fit into the cloud world. Cloud technologies mean companies no longer have to own software and servers, or use large enterprise applications that could be difficult (and risky) to update and modify. In contrast, traditional ERPs are big, cumbersome, and typically run on company-owned hardware.

Are companies forced to choose between their ERP or joining the cloud era? Not if they use Managed SAP on AWS.

SAP, the world's leading ERP provider, has modernised its software for the cloud. Now, companies can use SAP in the cloud as a managed service, relying on AWS and Vodacom Business to migrate, adapt, and manage this powerful ERP for any organisation.
