Amazon Web Services Certified To Run SAP Business Suite For Production Applications

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ:AMZN), today announced that SAP Business Suite software is now certified by SAP to run in production on the AWS Cloud. These products include the SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP), SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM), SAP Product Lifecycle Management (SAP PLM), SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) and SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) applications. Enterprises running SAP Business Suite can now leverage the on-demand, pay-as-you-go AWS platform to support thousands of concurrent users in production without making costly capital expenditures for their underlying infrastructure. SAP Business Suite certified for use on AWS follows the announcement made last month that the SAP HANA One platform is certified for production use on AWS and available on AWS Marketplace.

“Enterprises continue to look for ways to innovate faster, cut costs and standardize their use of AWS across their whole IT landscape,” said Terry Wise, Head of Worldwide Partner Ecosystem, AWS. “With SAP Business Suite running in production on AWS, enterprises can take advantage of the AWS pay-as-you-go model to run their applications securely, quickly and cost-effectively, paying only for the resources used.”

“Customers large and small are experiencing tremendous success when running their SAP applications on AWS, whether it’s SAP HANA One and now SAP Business Suite,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, Senior Vice President, Ecosystem and Channels, SAP. “Today’s announcement provides enterprises the ability to use the cloud to flexibly deploy their largest and most sophisticated SAP applications quickly and scale up as the business grows.”

“We have been using AWS for 3 years and, during that time, we’ve saved over $1 million in estimated infrastructure costs,” said Theresa Miller, CIO and EVP, Information Technology, LIONSGATE. “As a predominately SAP shop, the ability to run SAP applications on AWS was very important for our enterprise application workloads. We already utilize SAP solutions in a Windows environment on AWS and are pleased that we’ll be able to run SAP Business Suite on AWS for development, testing and production applications.” LIONSGATE is a global entertainment company that produces feature films and television programming.
