SAP Floats Into Amazon Cloud
May 19, 2012
Amazon will soon host SAP’s All-in-One applications, GogaOm informs us in “Amazon and SAP Put All-in-One in the Cloud.” Writer Barb Darrow posits the move could boost the appeal of Amazon EC2, since SAP BusinessObjects analytics, Rapid Deployment solutions, and most of Oracle’s business applications already run on Amazon. The write up notes:
“The conventional wisdom is that big companies are wary of running ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and other enterprise applications in a public cloud — because they tend to be quite customized and tied into other applications, which makes them difficult to forklift into the cloud. But Amazon is working to change that perception.”
I imagine so. Amazon Web Services director Terry Wise promised the next mission will launch SAP’s Business Suite ERP for larger customers into Amazon’s cloud, followed closely by SAP’s BusinessOne, the ERP for smaller companies.
Founded back in 1972 by five former IBM workers, SAP is headquartered in Walldorf Germany but has operations in over 50 countries. A longstanding leader in enterprise software, the company serves over 183,000 customers. It markets its solutions primarily through licensed local subsidiaries.
So, Amazon is edging into the enterprise. Google, are you watching?
