Cracking the SAP hybrid cloud code: Can we truly tame complexity with observability?
What's this research about?
SAP estates typically span public cloud, on premise, and multi cloud infrastructures, offering enterprises benefits like agility, cost optimization, simplified management, enhanced disaster recovery, and increased innovation. However, managing these complex SAP environments is challenging. Navigating security and performance optimization amidst data silos with limited visibility feels like blind navigation. Limited visibility across SAP hybrid cloud estates not only amplifies security vulnerabilities but also risks obscuring critical business insights, potentially leading to strategic missteps and operational inefficiencies. Observability provides a game-changing approach to tame SAP hybrid cloud complexity. However, achieving observability nirvana requires confronting roadblocks:
- Data fragmentation: Silos impede insights, hindering informed decisions. Can unified platforms and formats bridge the divide?
- Talent imperative: SAP talent demand outpaces supply. How can we cultivate expertise to harness AI-powered insights?
- Cost optimization: Balancing visibility and financial feasibility is paramount. Can automation and partnerships drive efficiencies?
- Security conundrum: Comprehensive visibility versus unwavering security is a delicate dance. Can balanced protocols maintain hybrid security?
- Automation enigma: Manual workloads limit agility. Can intelligent automation accelerate insights and decisions?
Cracking the code demands a strategic, collaborative approach. Through thought leadership, journey alongside your industry peers, and learn best practices for organizational performance, agility and resilience in an increasingly complex hybrid cloud environment. This Thought Leadership programme, is sponsored by Avantra, the industry-leading hybrid AIOps platform that simplifies SAP operations, which plays a key role enabling companies to navigate complex SAP modernization through their innovative technology.
