RISE with SAP on Cloud continues to gain traction as Lemongrass expands its innovative LCP Migrate services to streamline complex migrations for enterprises.
Lemongrass, a leader in software-enabled services, has introduced an updated version of its Lemongrass Cloud Platform (LCP) Migrate solution. This enhanced offering aims to simplify the transition for organizations adopting RISE with SAP, a flagship SAP cloud ERP solution. With its advanced automation and orchestration capabilities, LCP Migrate allows businesses to move extensive SAP environments exceeding 180TB to the cloud with minimal downtime. The solution is designed to accommodate both homogeneous and heterogeneous migrations while addressing the unique challenges of large-scale database transitions.
The LCP Migrate service enables enterprises to relocate their digital landscapes to RISE with SAP, operating seamlessly on leading cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. By reducing technical downtime to as little as 4 to 12 hours, even for databases larger than 150TB, this solution ensures minimal disruption to business operations. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for additional compute resources on legacy systems, helping businesses optimize costs and modernize their infrastructure efficiently.
Advancing RISE with SAP on Cloud and Transforming the Migration Landscape
RISE with SAP combines SAP’s robust cloud ERP capabilities with operational excellence and a structured methodology for migration. With the integration of LCP Migrate, organizations can transition from outdated systems like HP/UX or AIX to modern cloud environments powered by RISE with SAP. Additionally, migrations from Oracle databases to SAP HANA or upgrades from older versions of SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA can be completed within tight timeframes, ensuring continuity and improved performance.
Lemongrass’s commitment to enhancing cloud transitions is further evidenced by the introduction of browser-based tools like the Migrate Workbench, which integrates Ansible automation workflows. These tools provide a comprehensive interface for planning, managing, and analyzing the migration process, offering enterprises greater control and transparency throughout their digital transformation journey.
Karl Fahrbach, SAP’s Chief Partner Officer, emphasized the value of partnerships in enabling customer success. The collaboration with Lemongrass reflects SAP’s intent to deliver efficient migration solutions that support enterprises with complex systems, reducing project timelines and enhancing operational readiness.
The integration of artificial intelligence and automation in LCP Migrate not only compresses migration timelines but also reduces technical downtime by up to 98%. This efficiency allows enterprises to achieve their migration goals without compromising daily operations. For organizations with vast digital estates, such innovations play a crucial role in mitigating risks and ensuring a smooth transition to cloud-native solutions.
Eamonn O’Neill, Lemongrass’s Chief Technology Officer, highlighted the significance of these advancements, underscoring the capabilities of LCP Migrate to adapt to varying enterprise needs. The platform’s ability to handle complex migrations while providing detailed oversight demonstrates its utility in today’s fast-evolving cloud market.
