Wise to Rise: modernize your SAP landscape with Microsoft without migration stress

Increase your organization's agility by surrounding SAP with powerful Microsoft technology. Without replacing your core ERP. Without risk. With maximum innovation power.

Why waiting for the perfect migration is the most expensive decision you can make

SAP is the backbone of your organization and it does what it's supposed to do: process financial transactions, track inventory, support procurement processes. But the world around you has changed. Customers expect speed. Competitors are moving fast. And the deadline for SAP support is approaching, with accompanying pressure to migrate to S/4HANA: a hugely complex journey.

There is another way. No replacement. No big bang migration. A shell of Microsoft technology around your existing SAP core. You leverage what you have, and you build what you need at the same time.

The SAP Surround approach is not a temporary solution. The ERP core remains stable. On the front end, you build the flexibility your business needs.

Why now

Why your ERP landscape can no longer keep up with innovation

Many organizations have relied on SAP as their operational backbone for years. But modern business demands speed, flexibility and innovation - and that's where classic SAP environments run into limits. Conclusion: You don't need to replace SAP - you need to extend it.

SAP as backbone, Microsoft as engine

SAP remains the stable backbone of your organization, but that stability alone is not enough to move at today's speed. The key question is not whether to modernize, but how to do so without major risks or disruption. How do you strengthen SAP with technology that does offer agility, innovation and scale?

In this white paper you will discover how to accelerate innovation with the Microsoft layer around SAP. By building an integration foundation via Azure and placing processes, apps and AI on top of SAP, you combine a stable ERP foundation with the power of modern cloud innovation. This is how you increase impact across the organization - without disrupting your SAP core.

  • Stable foundation:How to leave the SAP core untouched, while adding modern technology.
  • From integration to innovation:a clear model in three layers: SAP core, Azure integration foundation and Power Platform innovation.
  • Practical examples:concretebusiness cases in which apps, automation and AI accelerate SAP processes without customization in ERP.
  • Grip on data:advicefor securely connecting SAP data with modern cloud services, including AI applications.

Plan. Evidence. Scale. Rule.

Four phases, from idea to scalable rollout.

A SAP Surround project begins by answering the question: which process is causing the most pain right now, and what is the impact if we solve it?

The strategic scan

Together you map out which processes would benefit most from a quick approach. Where is the technical debt? Where are employees missing useful tools? Where are you losing customers due to slowness? The result is a priority list of concrete use cases, each with a business rationale.
