Infosys Collaborates with IBM to Accelerate Near Zero-Cost SAP S/4HANA Migration for On-Premise Customers

Infosys has collaborated with IBM to help on-premise customers running SAP ERP on IBM Power Systems to transition quickly and effectively to SAP S/4HANA Cloud using RISE with SAP on IBM Power Virtual Server. RISE with SAP is a transformative business model that uses SAP S/4HANA Cloud to streamline operations and enhance predictive insights, enabling businesses to focus on innovation and achieve strategic goals. Leveraging Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt offerings, the collaboration aims to provide near zero-cost conversion services. RISE with SAP on IBM Power Virtual Server can help reduce risk and improve SAP S/4HANA Cloud migration time from IBM Power Systems on-premises to cloud in as little as 90 days¹. As part of the engagement, Infosys will ensure a cost-neutral conversion experience for customers leveraging cloud migration incentive programs from both SAP and IBM. This collaboration empowers customers to modernize ERP systems, improve operational efficiency, and drive innovation.

Key strengths of the collaboration include:

• End-to-end holistic approach: Comprehensive services from initial assessment to post-migration support ensuring a smooth, scalable transformation, and helping customers fully realize the benefits of their SAP S/4HANA investment.
• Speed and efficiency with proven accelerators: Proprietary tools like Infosys Catalyst and SAP S/4HANA Assist to accelerate the migration timeline, reducing time and costs associated with implementation.
• Seamless integration across systems: Smooth integration of SAP S/4HANA with existing enterprise systems, legacy platforms, and third-party solutions, enhancing the overall architecture without operational disruptions.

To further enhance the migration experience, Infosys will leverage its expertise in SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) solutions and SAP Business AI to help customers reduce customizations in their core ERP systems and improve system performance and efficiency. Infosys' AI tools, powered by Infosys Topaz, ensure faster deployment and resilience during SAP S/4HANA conversions, supporting companies implementing new cloud systems (greenfield), migrating existing systems to the cloud (brownfield), or performing complete cloud system replacements (bluefield).

As a RISE with SAP validated partner, Infosys brings extensive industry knowledge and tailored solutions for enterprises to accelerate their move to SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
