Cloud and Infrastructure

Move SAP to the Cloud Without Losing Control of the Program.

Candent migrates, hosts, and protects SAP landscapes on AWS and GCP, with the same SAP-specialist team handling the architecture, the cutover, and what comes after.

Our Capabilities

Cloud Infrastructure Built for How SAP Actually Runs

Cloud Migration

SAP landscape migration to AWS or GCP. Migration scoping, infrastructure design, OS and database conversion, go-live sequencing, and cutover planning handled by a team that understands SAP system behavior under production load.

Managed SAP Hosting

24x7 infrastructure management for SAP on AWS and GCP. Proactive monitoring, patch management, OS administration, and performance tuning. SLA-backed availability with SAP-aware support.

Disaster Recovery

DR architecture design, replication configuration, and tested recovery procedures for SAP landscapes. RTO and RPO targets defined at the design stage, not discovered during an incident.

FinOps and Cost Optimization

Cloud spend visibility and rightsizing for SAP workloads. Reserved instance planning, storage tiering, and waste elimination, so the cost of running SAP in the cloud reflects actual business requirements.

Cloud-Native DevOps

CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and automated deployment for SAP and adjacent workloads. Engineering discipline applied to the cloud environment from day one.

Autonomous Enterprise on Cloud

AI and automation capabilities require cloud infrastructure that is designed for them, not retrofitted. Candent builds the compute, data, and integration architecture that lets agentic AI and intelligent process automation run at enterprise scale inside your SAP environment.

How We Work

Three Ways Organizations Move SAP to the Cloud With Candent.

Candent’s cloud engagements fit into three common patterns. Most programs combine elements of more than one.

Lift and shift with SAP optimization

Move the existing landscape to AWS or GCP with infrastructure rightsizing, OS hardening, and SAP-specific performance tuning before go-live.

Combined S/4HANA migration and cloud move

Run the ECC-to-S/4HANA transformation and the move to cloud as one coordinated program, eliminating the cost and risk of doing each separately.

Managed hosting takeover

Candent assumes operational responsibility for an existing SAP cloud environment, inheriting the architecture after a structured assessment and stabilization phase.

Cloud as an AI Enabler

You Cannot Run Agentic AI on an Infrastructure That Was Designed for a 2015 Workload.

Intelligent process automation, AI agents on SAP, and real-time process mining all require compute that scales on demand, data platforms connected to the SAP core, and integration pipelines that process events in milliseconds, not batch windows. Organizations that move SAP to the cloud as a cost exercise often design the infrastructure for stability, not for what comes next. Candent designs cloud architecture with the autonomous enterprise in mind, so the foundation supports AI-driven operations when the business is ready to run them.

Why Candent for SAP Cloud

SAP Knowledge and Cloud Engineering in the Same Delivery Team.

SAP infrastructure decisions have SAP consequences. Choosing the right instance type for a HANA database, sizing the network for SAP data replication, designing DR for a system with active synchronous processes, these are not generic cloud architecture problems. They require SAP knowledge and cloud engineering in the same team, working from the same design. Candent’s cloud practice is built inside the same delivery structure as the SAP, integration, and data practices. One engagement model. One point of accountability.
From assessment to operating model, the timeline is agreed before the engagement begins.

Often Used Alongside

Cloud Infrastructure Works Best as Part of a Complete Program.

Cloud migration is rarely an isolated event. Most Candent cloud engagements run alongside one or more of the following:

SAP S/4HANA Transformation

Cybersecurity and Cloud Compliance (DPDP, SOC 2, GDPR)

SAP Application Management Services

Integration Services

CoE-as-a-Service

SAP in the Cloud Needs One Team That Owns Both Sides.
