benefits of running SAP on AWS
Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company
(NASDAQ: AMZN), shared that thousands of enterprise customers are
running SAP workloads on AWS -- with hundreds of those workloads in
production. Businesses of all sizes and across virtually every
industry and geography are running their SAP landscapes, including
multiple production environments, on AWS to simplify infrastructure
management, improve time-to-market, lower costs, and deliver
innovation with AWS services integration.
AWS has been working with SAP since 2011 to enable customers to
deploy and migrate their SAP applications to AWS, and has certified
AWS for the vast majority of SAP applications available to
customers today. In addition, AWS is working with SAP to power
multiple SaaS services and offerings including SAP Concur, SAP
SuccessFactors, SAP Cloud Platform (SCP), and HANA Enterprise Cloud
(HEC).
“Customers have been relying on AWS to run their
mission-critical SAP applications in a secure and optimized way for
years, driving significant performance increases and lowering
costs,” said Terry Wise, Vice President, Worldwide Partner
Ecosystem, AWS. “Now, we are seeing customers integrate their SAP
solutions with AWS’s unmatched capabilities in compute, storage,
databases, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence,
serverless computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and more to
create innovative and differentiated offerings.”

just a few of the customers running SAP solutions on AWS.
Compass Group, better known for its brands including Bon
Appetit, Eurest, Canteen, Wolfgang Puck, among others, is one of
the world’s largest foodservice companies, serving millions of
people daily and employing over 500,000 associates across all
continents. Compass Group relies on SAP to run their business, from
supply chain and financials to payroll. “By moving SAP to AWS,
Compass has been able to provide a global network between its
global offices by sharing data and applications in a cost effective
way via the cloud. This has enabled disaster recovery systems at a
local and regional level and ultimately allowed Compass to innovate
faster by leveraging the scale, maturity, security, and reliability
of AWS,” said Imran Ali, CTO Compass Group.
Illumina is improving human health by unlocking the power of the
genome. Their focus on innovation has established them as the
global leader in DNA sequencing and array-based technologies,
serving customers in the research, clinical, and applied
markets. “By selecting AWS for our SAP HANA Analytics
environment, we are now able to meet the growth and agility needs
of our business, along with providing a secure, durable, and highly
available platform to our customers,” said Norm Fjeldheim, CIO at
Ilumina. “Since deploying on AWS, we can now build and scale SAP
environments in a matter of minutes, a previous constraint of ours.
SAP HANA Analytics on AWS now acts as our core Data Mart,
empowering our business to capture endless data sources, ultimately
leading to faster decision making.”
Established in 2008, Petronas Lubricants International
manufactures and markets a full range of high-quality automotive
and industrial lubricant products in over 100 markets globally. “At
Petronas Lubricants International, technology is at the heart of
our business. We invest in technology to serve our customers better
and ensure business growth and sustainability. Our global
implementation of SAP S/4HANA on AWS replaces nine legacy systems
and integrates our in-country deployments to a globally managed
solution. With AWS, our infrastructure set-up for SAP S/4HANA
accelerated from three months to less than two weeks. This has
enabled us to focus on design and innovations to meet business
needs at a 50 percent lower equivalent on-premises infrastructure
cost,” said Yew Cheong Chow, CIO, Petronas Lubricants
International.
Sumitomo Chemical is a major Japanese chemical company founded
in 1913 as a fertilizer manufacturing plant. “After migrating our
Japanese SAP ERP instance to AWS, it ran much faster than our
on-premises environment. Job-processing time reduced by
approximately 40 percent. Overall, the results far exceeded our
expectations. Migrating to AWS also let us implement
disaster-recovery solutions, which had been difficult with our
on-premises environment. The work an IT department does changes
with the times, and engineers need to change with it. My impression
is that as we use AWS more widely, the members of our IT department
are starting to think differently too,” said Yasuo Tosa Associate
Officer, IT Innovation Dept., Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.
Visy is a leading packaging and recycling company with more than
120 locations across Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand. The
company, which has a workforce of more than 5,500 employees, also
has trading offices across Asia, Europe, and North America.
Visy sought to migrate all the systems running on its private
cloud—including SAP—to a public cloud environment to improve
performance. “SAP is the core financial system for our entire
global operation. We saw the switch to a public cloud as an
opportunity to improve our SAP performance—ensuring financial data
got to stakeholders faster than ever before for better business
decisions,” said David Peano Chief Information Officer, Visy. “We
wanted to work with a cloud provider that could help us incorporate
AI and IoT technologies into our business. By moving to AWS,
response times on the SAP database are 28 percent faster than in
our private cloud infrastructure. We’re also seeing a 46 percent
boost in performance on the application server level.”
Mitsui & Co. (Australia) Ltd. is the wholly owned Australian
subsidiary of Mitsui & Co., one of the world's most diversified
trading, investment, and services enterprises, and leading exporter
of Australia’s key natural resources and agricultural commodities.
“With our previous, on-premises financial reporting system, uptimes
were about 85 percent. Using AWS, we get uptimes of 99.99 percent
for SAP S/4 HANA. Ultimately, AWS was more cost-competitive than
the other cloud-service providers we evaluated. Plus, with AWS
Availability Zones present in the Asia Pacific (Sydney) Region, we
could keep our data securely stored and backed up in Australia. The
scalability of the SAP S/4 HANA platform on AWS enables us to bring
the benefits of SAP to other business units without the cost of
implementing a new system,” said Craig Howard, General Manager of
Finance, Mitsui Coal Holdings.
