Overview

The right cloud for each workload, with cost and risk under control.

Moving SAP, databases, and business applications to the cloud is a decision about architecture, cost, and risk, not just infrastructure. Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud offer scale and services that few in-house data centers can match, as long as the environment is well designed, secured, and operated.

Grupo Intelsis runs the full journey: maturity assessment, architecture and landing zone, migration in waves, application modernization, and 24/7 managed operations, with FinOps to keep costs predictable. We also support SAP migrations to hyperscalers and the RISE with SAP journey.

As an SAP Gold Partner, Google Cloud Premier Partner, AWS Partner, and Microsoft Partner, we recommend the cloud based on the profile of each workload, not on vendor preference. Security, continuity, and cost are part of the design from day one.

Highlights

  • Strategy, architecture, and landing zones
  • Migration of SAP, databases, and applications
  • 24/7 operations with observability and AIOps
  • FinOps: visible, predictable, optimized costs
  • Google Cloud Premier Partner and AWS Partner

Why Grupo Intelsis

Partner to SAP and to the three major clouds, on the same project.

  • Vendor-neutral recommendations

    SAP Gold Partner, Google Cloud Premier Partner, AWS Partner, and Microsoft Partner: we pick the cloud for the scenario, not the contract.

  • 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 single area or the full journey, based on the maturity of your environment and your 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.

Each provider has its strengths. We combine the best of each without multiplying 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.

  1. Foundation and landing zone

    Accounts, subscriptions, or projects organized with policies, segmented networking, central identity, and audit trails.

    • Policies
    • Networking
    • Identity
  2. SAP workloads

    SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA on SAP-certified infrastructure, with high availability across zones and separate environments.

    • SAP HANA
    • High availability
    • DEV · QAS · PRD
  3. Applications and data

    Applications modernized in containers and data replicated for analytics and AI, without overloading the ERP.

    • Kubernetes
    • BigQuery
    • APIs
  4. Security and continuity

    Encryption, protected backups, replication to another region, and regular recovery tests.

    • Encryption
    • Backup
    • DR
  5. Operations and FinOps

    Observability, alerts, routine automation, and costs allocated to each business unit, product, and environment.

    • Observability
    • AIOps
    • FinOps

    Workload and dependency inventory, target architecture, landing zone, and a wave-based migration roadmap, built with your team.

  3. Migration in short cycles

    Waves with rehearsals, frequent validation, planned cutover windows, and a closely supported go-live.

  4. 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.
