Enterprise Portal Roadmap (Cloud)

Posted
Updated
ByAdmin

The on-premise portal solution refers to a system that provides a unified access point for users to access both SAP and non-SAP information sources, enterprise applications, and information repositories within an organization. It allows users to access various systems and applications through a single interface, improving user productivity and streamlining information access.

On the other hand, the transition from the on-premise portal to the SAP Cloud refers to the process of migrating the portal solution and its associated applications and content to the SAP Cloud Platform (CP). The SAP Cloud Platform is a cloud-based platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering from SAP that provides a range of services and tools to develop, extend, and integrate applications.

The transition from the on-premise portal to the SAP Cloud offers several advantages, including:

Scalability and Flexibility:
The SAP Cloud Platform offers scalability, allowing organizations to easily scale their portal solution as their business needs evolve. It also gives you the flexibility to deploy, manage, and access applications from any device or location.

Integration with cloud services:
SAP Cloud Platform offers seamless integration with other cloud services and applications, enabling businesses to tap into a broader ecosystem of cloud-based solutions.

Reduced infrastructure costs:
By moving to the cloud, businesses can reduce the infrastructure costs associated with hosting and maintaining on-premises portal solutions. The cloud provider takes care of infrastructure management and maintenance, allowing companies to focus on their core business.

Increased collaboration and productivity:
SAP Cloud Platform provides collaboration and productivity tools that enable users to work together more effectively, share information, and access applications and data anytime, anywhere. Continuous innovation:
SAP Cloud Platform provides access to the latest innovations and updates from SAP, enabling businesses to benefit from new features as soon as they become available.

A smooth and successful migration from your on-premises portal to SAP Cloud requires careful planning, migration, and configuration. Organizations should assess their unique needs, assess migration feasibility, and develop a comprehensive migration plan that addresses data migration, application integration, and user training.

Overall, moving from on-premises portals to SAP Cloud offers companies the opportunity to modernize their portal solution

There are 5 phases in the standard ERP/CRM Implementation (deliverable-based)” Roadmap:

1.                   Project Preparation (Project team in place and project formally launched)

2.                   Business Blueprint (“Design” – approval of system solution design)

3.                   Realization (“Build & Test” – system solution built and integration tested)

4.                   Final Preparation (authorization to cut over to new system solution)

5.                   Go Live & Support (solution confirmation and project closure)
