IBM Transformation Suite
IBM Transformation Suite for SAP Applications can help you start your SAP S/4HANA journey more quickly.
Compared to shifting general-purpose workloads, migrating SAP workloads to the cloud is much more complicated. Consumers encounter difficulties such protracted migration procedures, exorbitant expenses, a lack of resources, integration barriers, and the complexities involved in developing a hybrid cloud platform.
In response to these issues, IBM is announcing that the IBM Transformation Suite for SAP Applications will be generally accessible on March 24, 2025. This all-inclusive package aims to make the transition to SAP S/4HANA and RISE with SAP easier and faster. Technical evaluations, data and code transfer, code analysis, and automated testing are among the crucial migration processes that are automated by integrating IBM products and services with those of reputable industry vendors.
The recent launch of RISE with SAP on IBM Power Virtual Server by IBM and SAP, a service intended to lower risk and speed up the 90-day SAP S/4HANA cloud migration from IBM Power on-premises to the cloud, is what this announcement builds upon. By offering services and technologies to expedite the RISE with SAP process, from initial evaluation to continuing maintenance, the IBM Transformation Suite for SAP Applications further strengthens this value proposition.
