WHITE PAPER
Customers Say Running SAP
Workloads on AWS Yields Robust
Business Benefits in Addition to
Immediate Cost Savings
IDG SURVEY FINDS NEARLY TWO-THIRDS OF CUSTOMERS
PLAN TO MOVE ADDITIONAL SAP SOLUTIONS TO AWS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Companies that are running SAP on Amazon Web
Services (AWS) report high satisfaction ratings and
the intention to move additional SAP workloads to the
cloud in the future. IDG Research found that customer
satisfaction increases the longer they run SAP workloads
on AWS. Cost savings are the primary motivator for
customers to make the move, with 96% of customers
reporting a reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO)
and an average overall savings of 26%. However,
experienced SAP-on-AWS customers are more inclined
to cite payoffs in business-related areas like efficiency,
innovation, time-to-market, and improved customer
service, indicating that the perceived value of running
SAP in the cloud shifts to points of greater leverage in
the business over time. Many organizations are already
running multiple SAP workloads on AWS, and nearly
two-thirds of current customers plan to shift additional
applications in the future.
