Organizations can typically justify migrating their SAP ECC workloads to Amazon EC2
instances with capex vs. opex comparisons, but the value goes well beyond that. SAP
demand typically fluctuates significantly, which supports running SAP on AWS by paying for
resources consumed vs. an on-premises infrastructure sized for peak demand. Organizations
see labor savings for administrators, DevOps teams, and end users. Consistent and fast
performance leads to more sales and higher customer retention. Finally, organizations can
also benefit from AWS capabilities, and they are well-positioned to upgrade to S/4HANA.
