At Dynapt.ai, we hear a lot from customers who are using HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC) and most of it is complaints and bad experiences that they have on an ongoing basis.
Here are the top 4:
1. Lack of full control over infrastructure – you have to go to HEC support team for almost any and everything you want to change whether small or big!
2. Unacceptably high response times when provisioning new infrastructure – isn’t cloud all about on-demand resources?
3. No transparency on cost – you sign annual contracts and that too fixed ones, and all this time we were thinking Cloud means Pay as You Use and for only what you use!
4. Support is limited to SAP software – biggest pain point and key reason customers want full control over their infrastructure so that they can resolve not covered by SAP promptly
When you migrate to Azure from HEC, not only do you get rid of these ongoing problems but also get other immediate benefits:
1. SAP is deployed under your own Azure tenant
2. You have full transparency and 100% control over infrastructure
3. Quickly scale up or down infrastructure capacity to meet fluctuating business demands
4. 99.9% guaranteed uptime greatly reduces the risk of an outage
5. Effortlessly spin up environments for new projects, training or testing purposes in hours, rather than months/weeks (and only pay for what you use)
6. Easy integration with other business applications, including Office365
7. Delve into a feature rich platform that links business applications to a variety of cutting-edge technologies such as Mobility, Data & Analytics, IoT, AI & Cognitive Services, and Security & Identity etc.
8. Reduce IT infrastructure costs by 45% to 75% and only pay for the capacity and services that you use
Finally, the most important one – Get a comprehensive Azure and SAP managed services experience.
Let’s get into this in a bit more detail as this is where you get the most value of being out of HEC into Azure.
Your partnership with Dynapt.ai and Microsoft Azure delivers great value!
