IBM, SAP To Help Enterprises Accelerate ERP Modernisation On Cloud, Support AI-Powered Processes
IBM Corp. and SAP SE have announced the upcoming release of RISE with SAP on IBM Power Virtual Server, an offering designed to accelerate their enterprise resource planning modernisation. The companies aim to help organisations transition to and modernise their on-premises ERP environments to the Cloud and support AI-powered business processes.
Using the cloud-based IBM Power Virtual Server, the hyperscaler offering can help reduce risk and improve SAP S/4HANA Cloud migration time from IBM Power Systems on-premises to Cloud within 90 days, according to a media release issued by the companies.
“IBM has worked hand-in-hand with SAP to provide a seamless and fast migration path for customers that rely on the IBM Power platform for their SAP workloads and applications,” said Rob Thomas, senior vice president, software, and chief commercial officer, IBM.
Enterprises will also be able to accelerate transformation with SAP S/4HANA Cloud by working with IBM Consulting or any other SAP partner. IBM is also in the process of working with other global systems integrators and services partners to deploy and migrate RISE with SAP projects.
The two companies, together with a network of strategic partners, aim to deliver integrated solutions, enhanced capabilities, and coordinated go-to-market strategies. Customers and IBM business partners will also have access to a new IBM Transformation Suite for SAP Applications to help begin their migration. The suite will include a bundle of software and services for the assessment of current environments, data migration and automated testing.
“SAP is helping organisations run their best through cloud-based enterprise applications embedded with the power of SAP Business AI,” said Thomas Saueressig, member of the executive board of SAP SE. “This announcement is yet another milestone in SAP's long-term partnership with IBM, offering our joint customers a clear path to the Cloud designed for faster time-to-value, increased flexibility, and continuous innovation.”
The offering is scheduled to be available in the second quarter of 2025. It will be accompanied by a tailored investment program from IBM designed to meet specific client needs and maximize long-term value.
