Consolidation
The average operational costs of running a
single instance of SAP are 2540% lower than
running multiple instances
The Future of SAP Report, 2013
The Problem
A single-instance ERP strategy is seen
by many executives as a key driver
of operating efficiencies and process
standardization.
- Gartner
It is absolutely clear that instance consolidation
delivers material operational savings. Equally, if
an organization is ever planning to migrate to
Suite on HANA, this will necessitate instance
consolidation.
Recent research has shown that on average,
large enterprises could save more than $6m per
annum by consolidating their SAP footprint while
simultaneously unlocking business efficiency
savings that could be many times that figure.
Our Proposition
We believe that organizations running multiple
SAP instances should understand the costs
associated with this model and the savings that
are available as a result of instance consolidation.
In our experience these include:
IT operational cost savings associated
with supporting a single design
Reduced infrastructure costs as a result
of operating fewer landscapes
The opportunity to rationalize their SAP
license base and potentially reduce
maintenance costs
Positioning the environment for a low
cost migration to Suite on HANA.
