Overview
Decide where to run SAP and how to migrate, operate, and manage costs.
Migrating SAP, databases, and business applications to the cloud requires an assessment of architecture, cost, and risk. We plan the use of Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud around each environment’s capacity, security, and operational needs.
We manage maturity assessment, architecture and landing zones, staged migration, and application modernization. We provide 24/7 managed operations and FinOps to track and control costs. We also support SAP migration to hyperscalers and the adoption of RISE with SAP.
Our SAP Gold Partner, Google Cloud Premier Partner, AWS Partner, and Microsoft Partner relationships support platform selection. We assess each workload and define security, continuity, and cost requirements before migration.

Why Grupo Intelsis
Partner to SAP and to the three major clouds, on the same project.
Provider selection based on technical needs and operating cost
SAP Gold Partner, Google Cloud Premier Partner, AWS Partner, and Microsoft Partner: we assess SAP compatibility, availability, integrations, and operating cost to recommend a provider.
Experience with SAP workloads
SAP HANA sizing, high availability, cutover windows, and integrations get the care that a production ERP demands.
FinOps from the design stage
Tags, budgets, reservations, and rightsizing are built into the architecture, so costs stay predictable and traceable to each business unit.
One team, from strategy to operations
The people who design and migrate your environment also run it 24/7, with full project context and an ongoing improvement plan.
Focus areas
Eight focus areas to adopt, migrate, and run the cloud.
Engage us for a specific area or the full service lifecycle, based on your environment's maturity and SAP roadmap.
Strategy and architecture
Maturity assessment, hybrid or all-cloud model, IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS choices, and a landing zone with policies and identity.
SAP on cloud and RISE with SAP
Sizing and migration of SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA to Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud, or support for your RISE with SAP journey.
Critical workload migration
VMs, databases, ERPs, and business systems migrated in waves, with rehearsals, cutover windows, and a rollback plan.
Application modernization
Replatforming to containers, Kubernetes, and managed services, with DevOps and DevSecOps pipelines from the first deployment.
24/7 managed operations
Continuous monitoring with observability and AIOps, plus capacity, performance, patching, and incident management across all three clouds.
FinOps and cost optimization
Costs visible by business unit and environment, rightsizing, reservations, and automatic shutdown of resources that add no value.
Security and resilience
IAM, MFA, encryption, Zero Trust, threat monitoring, and disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
Data and AI in the cloud
BigQuery, Looker, and Vertex AI on Google Cloud and generative AI and machine learning solutions on AWS, connected to SAP data.
Partnerships and practices
Three clouds, one governance model.
We combine each provider's capabilities with shared governance tools, teams, and processes.

Reference architecture
Five layers of an SAP-ready cloud.
A design that separates responsibilities and makes the environment easier to scale, audit, and recover.
Foundation and landing zone
Accounts, subscriptions, or projects organized with policies, segmented networking, central identity, and audit trails.
SAP workloads
SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA on SAP-certified infrastructure, with high availability across zones and separate environments.
Applications and data
Applications modernized in containers and data replicated for analytics and AI, without overloading the ERP.
Security and continuity
Encryption, protected backups, replication to another region, and regular recovery tests.
Operations and FinOps
Observability, alerts, routine automation, and costs allocated to each business unit, product, and environment.
How we deliver
From diagnosis to ongoing operations.
The same method we use on SAP projects, adapted to the cloud journey.
Free 30-minute diagnostic
A focused conversation about your environment, costs, and priorities to decide where to start: assessment, migration, or optimization.
Joint assessment and design
Workload and dependency inventory, target architecture, landing zone, and a wave-based migration roadmap, built with your team.
Migration in short cycles
Waves with rehearsals, frequent validation, planned cutover windows, and a closely supported go-live.
Hypercare and evolution
Extra support after each wave, 24/7 operations, FinOps, and continuous improvements in performance, security, and cost.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Cloud
Which cloud is best for SAP: Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud?
There is no single answer. All three offer SAP-certified infrastructure for SAP HANA. The choice depends on existing contracts, data and AI services, latency, compliance requirements, and total cost, which is why we compare scenarios before making a recommendation.
What is the difference between moving SAP to the cloud and signing up for RISE with SAP?
When you migrate to a hyperscaler's infrastructure, your company keeps its licenses and chooses who runs the infrastructure and Basis. With RISE with SAP, SAP bundles SAP S/4HANA Cloud (private edition), infrastructure, technical managed services, and transformation tools into one subscription. We support the decision and both journeys.
Can we migrate without stopping operations?
Every migration has cutover windows, but they can be short and planned well in advance. We work in waves, with rehearsals, data replication, and a rollback plan, starting with less critical workloads to validate the process before moving the ERP.
How do you keep cloud costs under control?
With FinOps practices: tags and cost centers from the landing zone onward, budgets with alerts, rightsizing, reservations or commitment-based discounts, and automatic shutdown of idle environments. Regular reports show costs by business unit, product, and environment.
Do you take over environments that are already in the cloud?
Yes. We start with an architecture, security, and cost assessment of your Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud environment, then take over operations with 24/7 monitoring, patching, capacity and incident management, and a prioritized improvement plan.
