Accenture: Infrastructure Services For Hybrid Cloud

Changed business requirements are the triggers for companies to outsource SAP application use or operation in the Cloud. SAP on Microsoft Azure and Accenture provides infrastructure services for SAP Hybrid Cloud deployment, even for large SAP Enterprise workloads.

Accenture focuses on the fact that companies require an efficient and effective way to transform and modernize their SAP landscape. The background from the perspective of the long-term strategic SAP partner: changed business requirements in the digitalization era with the need to operate SAP solutions in the Cloud.

And to exploit the advantages offered by the Cloud. Namely cost reductions, increased flexibility and practically limitless scaling options, but also optimized and improved analytics options as well as access to Internet of Things resources/capacities. Furthermore, there is the potential to optimize the agility and flexibility of SAP systems.

And here the preference is a Cloud platform that offers superior security standards and compliance guidelines. It must be ensured from the beginning that large and very large SAP Hana workloads can be handled in a Cloud so that even large enterprises with their special requirements such as SAP S/4 operation can benefit from Hybrid Cloud use and meet their business requirements.

Comprehensive SAP and Microsoft Expertise

The experienced and leading SAP and Microsoft solution provider Accenture feels it is well equipped to support companies with digitalization, including Hybrid Cloud transformation. This is also confirmed by the fact that multitenant Hybrid Cloud environments were certified by SAP and Cloud experience from a Private Cloud has been integrated into Accenture services and solutions.
