Fujitsu today started sales of SAP S/4HANA Environment Provision
Service, which enables companies to undertake a proof-of-concept
migration to SAP's next-generation ERP S/4HANA, without the need to
purchase SAP software licenses.
Aimed at customers considering migrating from an existing SAP ERP
6.0 system to SAP S/4HANA, this service offers a complete suite,
including an IaaS environment, SAP software licenses, and an
operations service, for a monthly fee(1). In addition, because this
service allows customers to use the SAP Cloud Platform, the cloud
service SAP is promoting as an application development platform for
SAP S/4HANA, customers can check the operation of their
applications in the new environment.
This service enables a trial migration without purchasing an SAP
S/4HANA software license, allowing customers to observe how the
system will respond to actual tasks. They can evaluate their
decision in implementing the system by checking the practicality of
a migration and getting a rough estimate of the required
investment. Fujitsu is launching this service initially in
Japan(2), and will be expanding it around the world going
forward.
Fujitsu will continue to offer a variety of services supporting the
deployment of and migration to SAP S/4HANA, which provides
next-generation ERP supporting digital business for customers.
Background
In order to achieve digital transformation, a variety of elements
are necessary for mission-critical systems that make up systems of
record (SoR), such as an interface that can flexibly connect with
systems of engagement (SoE), high speed data processing, an
integrated user interface, and a platform for rapid application
development. Utilizing SAP S/4HANA and SAP Cloud Platform, which
combine all of these elements, has become one of the most effective
methods of achieving digital transformation quickly.
Reportedly, there are currently about 2,000 systems in Japan
operating SAP ERP 6.0, for which maintenance support is expected to
end in 2025. In order to migrate from an existing SAP ERP 6.0
system to SAP S/4HANA, it is necessary to test whether assets,
including independently developed add-on functionality, can be
migrated. Until now, customers also needed to purchase SAP S/4HANA
software licenses, even when they were conducting temporary
migration trials.
Now, as the first part of a comprehensive collaboration in the
cloud business with SAP SE, announced on June 5, 2017, Fujitsu has
signed a Partner Managed Cloud license agreement with SAP Japan,
SAP SE's Japanese subsidiary, to offer the world's first SAP
S/4HANA Environment Provision Service, providing a trial
environment that includes SAP S/4HANA software licenses.
Features of the Service
The SAP S/4HANA Environment Provision Service includes a dedicated
IaaS environment and enables trial migrations to SAP S/4HANA(3)
without purchasing software licenses. This service can be purchased
monthly from three months up to six months, and questions regarding
SAP software can be answered by Fujitsu's SAP-certified
consultant.
