The problem

See SAP S/4HANA on AWS with your own data, before you commit.

Found at go-live, when fixes cost the most.Found in the pilot, before production moves.

  1. 01
    Unproven feasibility

    You do not yet know how SAP S/4HANA will behave on AWS with your data.

  2. 02
    Unclear business case

    Expected gains in cost, flexibility, and scalability are still on paper.

  3. 03
    Hidden technical issues

    Problems surface late, when they are costly to fix.

  4. 04
    Downtime concerns

    Production SAP systems cannot afford a long outage.

  5. 05
    Security sign-off

    Your security reviewers need to vet controls before anything moves.

  6. 06
    Performance unknowns

    Response times and latency on AWS are untested.

What it is

A controlled SAP S/4HANA pilot on AWS, with your data.

We set up a scaled-down SAP S/4HANA system on AWS using your own data and test the move under controlled conditions. Your teams see what is different, and you get a migration roadmap, the likely challenges, and how to solve them.

What's included
  • Production test drive

    Run a copy of a production system on AWS and benchmark SAP S/4HANA performance against your current on-premises system.

  • Discovery with your own data

    A scaled-down SAP S/4HANA system built with EPI-USE Data Sync Manager (DSM), using a smaller, masked copy of your data, so users can see what is different in SAP S/4HANA with data they recognize.

  • AWS tooling

    Try the AWS tools available to your new landscape.

  • Security baseline

    Minimum security and firewall settings, ready for your security reviewers to vet.

  • Response times

    Measure connectivity and latency on AWS.

  • Disaster recovery test

    Disaster recovery set up on one system and tested into another AWS data center.

Frequently asked questions.

What is a Proof of Concept for ERP on AWS?

A controlled pilot that tests whether, and how well, your ERP landscape runs on AWS before you migrate production.

How long does it take?

A data management PoC takes two to four weeks. A key ERP system migration PoC usually takes eight to 12 weeks.

Which systems do you include?

It depends on your concerns and risks. In most cases, we recommend starting with three key production systems.

How is our data protected during testing?

For data management pilots, EPI‑USE Data Sync Manager (DSM) builds a much smaller dataset and masks data for security.

What do we get at the end?

Benchmarks against your on-premises systems, a tested security and disaster recovery setup, and a migration roadmap with challenges and proposed solutions.
