IBM Systems Makeover Analysis for SAP Environments

The reputation of your company in the market place depends greatly on the value you deliver to your customers vis-à-vis competition. What separates the leading edge organizations from others is the quality and throughput of their business processes which translates into greater business value and delight for their customers. In the backdrop of today’s competitive scenario, if your SAP® infrastructure is not delivering the performance and capabilities needed to support your business processes, initiatives and goals, you could soon find yourself out of touch with the marketplace and your customers.

A top concern of CIO’s using SAP as cited in a survey by IDC¹ was the need for a resilient IT platform that can support mission critical applications in the face of fluctuating business demands, diversification and exponential growth.

Please take a few minutes to think about the questions below as they relate to your company and your SAP environment.

• Have you just merged with/acquired another organization and need to quickly consolidate and integrate different disparate systems?
• Are you facing a major migration because your current hardware vendor’s platforms have reached end of life?
• Does your hardware allow you to fully leverage the functional capabilities of SAP ERP, CRM and BI applications so that you can enhance your business performance?
• Is your IT infrastructure able to exploit the capabilities of virtualization, clustering, application mobility and workload balancing so that you can handle fluctuating business needs?
• Is server sprawl, with a large number of underutilized single-workload servers, driving power, cooling or floor space requirement beyond capacity and budget?
• Is your IT budget skewed towards application, middleware licensing and support (AMC/ATS) costs?
• Do you find it difficult to balance quality service levels and cost reductions, resulting in lost business opportunities?
