The challenge
The side effect of the flexibility and agility provided by AWS, and of creating a "self service" infrastructure that ignores precise concepts, in many cases is that although our system is working, it is not optimally designed in terms of cost efficiency, performance, IT or operational security. Identifying and performing these optimizations during the life cycle of a cloud application is of utmost importance, so that the efficiency and TCO of our application can be continuously improved and the server platform infrastructure can be adapted to changing conditions.

24/7 Managed Services
Although operation and support go hand in hand, ensuring the proper and efficient functioning of the system does not require 24/7 service, in contrast to support, whose failure-related tasks - troubleshooting, fault escalation, problem management, disaster prevention - require high availability due to their criticality. And of course, a 24/7 on-call support according to ITIL regulations requires at least 5 qualified support professionals due to the 3 shifts, vacations, and illnesses. And the majority of customers rarely have this number of employees, especially in the field of cloud-based computing, which is still new today but is emerging.
TC2 MAP (Migration Acceleration Program)
The use of cloud computing and digitalization is a prerequisite for improving the efficiency of business operations, the ability to adapt to market changes, the development of elasticity agility and optimal cost structures.
SAP on AWS
SAP systems play a key role in the everyday processes of many companies worldwide. They require special hardware and extremely high availability being business-critical systems. With the introduction of the SAP HANA database and the retirement of SAP support for alternative databases, it will be essential for hundreds of companies to switch platforms in the next 5-10 years. However, this can be a risky project in a traditional environment because of the magnitude of hardware estimation, acquisition, and lifecycle tracking.
