IBM and SAP have launched RISE with SAP on IBM Power Virtual Server, a next-gen cloud solution to simplify SAP S/4HANA workload migration. This will help companies move from legacy on-premises systems to modern cloud infrastructure in months.
RISE with SAP on IBM Power Virtual Server aims to be the fastest, most secure, and most cost-effective way to move your SAP workloads. With IBM’s cloud infrastructure and SAP’s AI-powered ERP solutions, this partnership means seamless transitions with minimal disruption. For companies, that means an easier, faster move to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, with some migrations in as little as 90 days, a new benchmark for cloud migrations.
One of the significant benefits of this partnership is speed, cost, and investment protection. IBM has financial incentives, including buy-back plans for older Power systems and rewards for system integrators, so this is an easy and financially viable move for businesses of all sizes. In addition, IBM’s security infrastructure means your critical data is protected throughout the migration process, so you have a secure foundation to innovate with emerging technologies like AI and automation.
The results are already real. See for yourself with IBM’s internal migration project, which saw a 30% reduction in infrastructure costs and significant automation gains. This solution can achieve the results you can, not just cost savings but also operational efficiency. The solution will maximize performance, efficiency, and scalability for businesses.
The IBM and SAP partnership isn’t just about a migration tool but a long-term strategic advantage. With SAP Business AI, you’ll be able to get more value out of your data, make better decisions, and optimize your business further. Additionally, you’ll have access to the IBM Transformation Suite for SAP Applications, a comprehensive set of services that simplifies migration, assessment, data transfer, and automated testing.
This is part of a broader joint go-to-market strategy between IBM and SAP to help businesses on their cloud journey. The RISE with SAP on IBM Power Virtual Server solution will be available in Q2 2025, so you can start planning now by talking to IBM Consulting or SAP Business Partners.
This partnership provides a path to modernization, a solution that lets you be flexible, expandable, and always innovating. As the cloud landscape evolves, IBM and SAP’s partnership is a big step forward for cloud ERP.
Takeaway for IT Leaders:
- Cloud migrations are not just about cost savings; they’re about modernizing your business and getting the most out of AI and automation.
- Working with strategic partners like IBM and SAP means you can transform faster and with less risk and disruption.
- 90 days and cost savings make this a good option for companies to future-proof before support ends in 2027.
This SAP and IBM partnership is about more than today’s migration; it is about tomorrow’s infrastructure. Combining SAP Business AI with IBM’s hybrid cloud offerings will ensure ongoing innovation, flexibility, and scalability throughout your cloud journey.
