In this session, AWS partners, both with and without SAP focused practices, learn how to develop and design services and solutions to help SAP customers migrate to and run on the AWS Cloud. We discuss the different types of services required by SAP customers and how to identify and qualify SAP on AWS opportunities. Based on actual SAP customer projects, we discuss what patterns work, where the potential pitfalls are, and how to ensure a successful SAP on AWS customer project.
