DXC knows that for many of our clients, SAP is the heart of their business. We recognize that moving to the public cloud is not a discrete event but part of the evolution of business and the life cycle of functions that support it. DXC Public Cloud Jumpstart for SAP enables clients in this pursuit by using SAP’s Digital Transformation Navigator to map the route ahead. DXC Public Cloud Jumpstart does more than just moving workloads to another platform — we position our clients to respond to the unique needs of their digital business.

Today’s Business ChallengesEnterprises must meet the many challenges caused by digital disruption, rising customer expectations and the need to reduce IT costs. Moving SAP platforms requires expertise and skills to ensure a simplified, predictable and reliable transformation.

For many enterprises, existing infrastructure agreements and CAPEX investments make it difficult to migrate to the cloud. Some are also hindered by regulatory restrictions and high performance requirements. Another key challenge is determining what components are used and how they interact with processes and systems.

Compelling Events

DXC Public Cloud Jumpstart for SAP addresses the following business trends:

Migration to the Cloud

Enterprises in every industry are gaining enormous benefits from moving to the cloud. Among them are greater flexibility, improved mobility and collaboration, and increased integration capabili-ties. Above all, the move to a pay-per-use OPEX model delivers cost savings.

Technology Obsolescence

Many companies that have made large investments in hardware and infrastructure over the years are finding that on-premises hardware is nearing the end of its life and in desperate need for a refresh. Also, enterprises could be seeking alternatives to existing managed hosting agreements that are due to expire.

Dynamic Business Demands

One thing that is constant in business is change. Enterprises must respond to business events such as M&A and divestiture activities, which could require enlarging a platform to absorb an additional SAP landscape.

A Step-wise Approach to Public Cloud AdoptionDXC Public Cloud Jumpstart for SAP provides a safe, phased approach to moving your SAP installations to the cloud. The approach leverages DXC’s integration capabilities and our ability to deliver economies of scale. The three components of the offering include:

• Roadmap. A 3-week engagement in which we review readiness and develop a roadmap for shifting SAP workloads to a public cloud infrastructure. This includes a workshop for requirement gathering, public cloud selection, mapping of your future landscape against SAP’s Digital Transformation Navigator, and definition of connectivity requirements and migration methods.

• Proof of Value. Implementation of a customer-selected SAP system to a public cloud test environment. This 6-week engagement includes verification of SAP system performance and the evaluation of SAP functional integrity on the target platform and is intended to demonstrate the value and benefits of a public cloud migration.

• Landscape Migration. This 16-week engagement includes the migration of multiple systems in a standard SAP landscape (development, QA and production) to a public cloud infrastructure. SAP native and certified tools are used, and 1 month of post-migration support is included.
