In today’s challenging economic environment, Generative AI (GenAI) is emerging as a key driver of sustainable growth. GenAI automatically analyzes data, supports real-time decision-making, and opens new avenues for innovation.

SAP Cloud ERP provides the strategic foundation for digital transformation: scalable, flexible, and secure. According to the Bitkom Cloud Report, 90% of German companies already use cloud services, with over 60% leveraging them to drive innovation and new business models. Together, GenAI and cloud technology unlock the full potential for intelligent processes, sustainable success, and a future-proof IT landscape.

But how can organizations successfully embark on this new era of ERP? For GenAI and cloud innovations to deliver real value, standardized, cloud-based business processes and high data quality are essential. Only with clearly defined and standardized processes can artificial intelligence realize its full potential. SAP Cloud ERP delivers the necessary standards and best practices, creating the ideal foundation for rapid and efficient adoption of modern technologies.

Why Move to SAP Cloud ERP Now?

Transitioning to SAP Cloud ERP is more than a technical upgrade. It’s a decisive step toward modernizing processes, increasing efficiency, and securing a competitive edge. Companies today face the challenge of transforming legacy on-premises systems into modern cloud solutions.

With a well-designed, scalable, and secure approach, Capgemini guides you on your journey to the cloud. Our focus is on hybrid IT landscapes that combine the stability and control of existing on-premises systems with the innovation and scalability of the cloud.

The two-tier ERP approach is especially effective: central processes (Tier 1) are managed via SAP Cloud ERP, while subsidiaries, new business units, or acquisitions (Tier 2) operate flexibly and independently in the cloud. This enables a gradual, low-risk, and adaptable transition.

A key success factor is interface architecture. Seamless integration between existing systems and the cloud determines the efficiency and stability of your new solution. Standardized APIs and custom integration scenarios, including legacy systems, third-party tools, or industry-specific applications, should both be taken into account.

Capgemini advises a two-step approach as a strategic method for transitioning to the cloud. This approach allows for the focused migration of specific units and the swift integration of new business models, joint ventures, or investments, utilizing a scalable cloud ERP platform.

With our Multi Pilar Strategic Architecture (MPSA), we help you find the right balance between SAP standards, custom extensions via SAP BTP and third-party solutions such as Salesforce. This is complemented by Capgemini’s proprietary reference architectures for industries such as manufacturing, life science, energy, and automotive. Ensuring your transformation delievers real business value.

How we support your SAP Cloud ERP Implementation

With our Cloud Awareness Assessment, we offer a sustainable and coordinated assessment approach in 4 phases:

  1. Understanding and managing transformation ambitions: In this phase, we engage at the C-level and jointly identify the scope and transformation vision, taking into account the potential of SAP Cloud ERP Public and Private Edition.
  2. DDA guidance and advice: In the following phase, we examine the existing process house and identify the key pain points as well as skills and owners for the DDA before conducting the DDA together.
  3. Support and advice on DDA evaluation: In this phase, we jointly identify the deviations from SAP Cloud ERP and work out possible solutions.
  4. Technical feasibility of SAP Cloud ERP: In the final phase, the assessment includes an initial technical feasibility check. In this process, we will evaluate interfaces, solutions for decommissioning data and architecture designs (e.g. SAP BTP).

Following our assessment, you will receive a general decision evaluation for a functional and technical evaluation for your possible switch to SAP Cloud ERP.
