The problem

Why cloud migrations stall.

Most organizations know they need to move. Risk, cost, and an unclear plan hold them back.

Switch to see the way through

Showing why migrations stall.

Risk

Moving could break what works

  1. 01Downtime risk

    Mission-critical systems such as SAP leave little room for error during cutover.

  2. 02Technical debt

    Legacy applications slow releases and keep skilled people on maintenance instead of new work.

How we clear it

Pilot migrations prove the plan, cutovers keep downtime minimal, and our SHIP (Safe Harbor Inclusive of Passage) framework protects SAP.

Cost

Staying costs more every year

  1. 03Aging infrastructure

    Hardware refresh cycles and end-of-support systems tie up budget and add risk every year.

  2. 04Rising license costs

    Windows and SQL Server licensing often grows faster than the workloads it supports.

How we clear it

Licensing and sizing are optimized before you move, with AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) funding where you qualify.

Plan

Nobody can yet say how

  1. 05An unclear business case

    Without a full view of workloads and dependencies, cost and timing estimates are guesses.

  2. 06Skills gaps

    Few organizations have run a large migration before, and learning on production systems is expensive.

How we clear it

A W.H.A.L.E. Assessment builds the plan in two weeks. Certified engineers run the move.

The benefits

What you gain on AWS.

Migration is the first step. The value comes from what it makes possible.

Staying on-premises

Familiar, but costly to keep running.

  • Capital spendHardware refreshes every few years, sized for peak demand.
  • Fixed capacityScaling up takes weeks of procurement and setup.
  • Security upkeepPatching and controls compete with everything else you run.
  • Slow changeNew services and AI are hard to adopt on legacy platforms.

Migrating with EPI-USE

A planned move, with value measured.

  • Lower cost to runPay for what you use, with licensing and sizing optimized up front.
  • Scale on demandCapacity that grows with your business, across AWS Regions worldwide.
  • Stronger securityAWS security services, with controls set up and monitored for you.
  • Room to innovateA modern foundation for analytics, AI, and new products.

FAQ

Questions before
you migrate.

How long does an AWS migration take?

It depends on the number and complexity of your workloads. A small set of applications can move in weeks, while larger SAP or data center migrations run in planned waves over several months. The assessment gives you a timeline before you commit.

Will our systems go down during the migration?

We plan every cutover to keep downtime to a minimum, with testing and a rollback plan in place for each wave. Many workloads can be replicated to AWS while they keep running, so the final switch is short.

Which workloads do you migrate?

SAP, Microsoft Windows and SQL Server, VMware, databases, and custom applications. EPI-USE Services for AWS holds the AWS Migration & Modernization Services Competency, the AWS SAP Services Competency, and the AWS Microsoft Workloads Services Competency.

How do you migrate SAP?

With SHIP (Safe Harbor Inclusive of Passage), our framework for moving mission-critical SAP systems with minimal disruption, from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA and RISE with SAP.

Is funding available for our migration?

AWS offers programs such as the Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) and the Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) that can reduce assessment and migration costs for qualifying projects. We help you find out what applies to you.

What happens after we move to AWS?

You can run the environment yourself or hand day-to-day operations to AWS Managed Services from EPI-USE, including 24/7 monitoring, security, and cost optimization.

Where should we start?

Start with an assessment. Our W.H.A.L.E. Assessment (Workload Holistic Assessment & Licensing Evaluation), funded by AWS where you qualify, maps your workloads and licensing and delivers a migration plan in two weeks.
