SAP on Azure: the best of both worlds

Today’s uncertainty is driving the acceleration of cloud adoption. Migrating to the cloud is no longer an ambition but a strategic priority, as enterprises look to become more agile, productive and secure in order to navigate today’s fluctuating business demands. Market dynamics, rising costs, new business process requirements, and increasing amounts of data can make it a challenge to run and protect mission-critical SAP business functions.

As the 2027 deadline looms closer, which will mark the end of SAP support for SAP ECC 6.0, businesses are compelled to invest in transforming business processes and modernising their ERP landscape in order to become a truly intelligent enterprise and future proof their SAP investments.

Microsoft Azure runs some of the largest and most demanding production SAP workloads in the world, with a proven track record that no other cloud vendor can match, and that’s why every single implementation we do is hosted on Microsoft Azure.

Become an agile, efficient, digital enterprise on Microsoft Azure, with a public cloud platform optimised for SAP solutions, leveraging shared industry-leading best practices and specialist expertise.

How SAP on Azure brings the best of both worlds to Renson

For Belgian family business Renson, there’s ‘no speed limit on innovation’ – a tagline that puts top priority on visionary IT. The quest for flexibility, scalability and security, combined with their reliance on Microsoft cloud solutions, led CIO Koen Van Loo to investigate the possibilities of SAP on Azure, in partnership with delaware.

Unparalleled security, cost effectiveness, and much more

Microsoft Azure is a robust, reliable public cloud platform with the capabilities you need to get the most out of your SAP applications. Realise tangible benefits, including:

Best-in-class security and compliance portfolio: with over 90 compliance certifications and $1bn annual investment, Microsoft Azure has the most compliance offerings of any public cloud.
Scalability: flexibly scale to support increasing volumes of SAP and non-SAP workloads without the worry of hardware lock-in.
Cost efficiency: only pay for the capacity you use with metred charge-back for all resources on Azure - reduce IT infrastructure costs by 40-75%.
Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to on-premise infrastructure with better productivity, training and the improved business benefits that stems from the agility that cloud provides.
Access to continuous innovation: employees empowered to make informed decisions, use innovation and automation to create new opportunities and drive growth.

tap into the power of the public cloud by migrating your SAP applications to Microsoft Azure, and reap the benefits of increased security, streamlined operations, more standardisation, automation, new possibilities for innovation, and greater cost efficiency
