Support from MSPs
Migrating to the cloud is an undertaking. Utilizing the cloud to its fullest capabilities, however, is quite another. Most SAP customers cannot fully realize the benefits of the cloud and its potential for innovation without working with a managed service provider. SAP customers want cost savings (28%), system availability (28%), and security (23%). More than half of SAP customers (53%) use MSPs to help make these cloud wants a reality and set themselves up for innovation. A quarter of SAP customers are still relying on in-house skills to optimize the cloud; these organizations are likely to miss out on cloud benefits and the potential for innovation because they don’t have the expertise to build a cohesive cloud environment.
