Project Description
The requirement is to migrate an existing SAP application currently hosted on a vendor-managed Microsoft Azure environment to own AWS infrastructure.
We are looking for an experienced SAP Basis consultant or firm to handle the SAP-specific workstream of this migration. Our internal DevOps team will manage the AWS environment setup including EC2 provisioning, VPC, networking, and storage configuration. Your responsibility will be the SAP layer end to end.
Scope of Work
• Conduct an independent discovery session on the live SAP system to extract all necessary configuration, landscape, and database information without relying on vendor documentation
• Plan and execute the SAP system export or migration using the most appropriate method based on discovery findings
• Coordinate with the source vendor for the minimum required access, supported by a formal client request
• Install and configure SAP on the target AWS environment to certified specifications
• Migrate the SAP database (HANA or other, to be confirmed during discovery)
• Handle SAP license re-registration on the new infrastructure if required
• Perform post-migration validation and functional testing
• Provide sign-off documentation confirming system integrity and readiness
What We Expect From You
• Proven experience in SAP Basis administration and SAP migrations
• Prior experience migrating SAP systems between cloud environments, Azure to AWS preferred
• Demonstrated ability to perform system discovery independently without vendor documentation
• Familiarity with SAP-certified AWS instance types and infrastructure requirements
• Ability to provide a clear migration methodology before work begins
• Direct involvement of the consultant who will execute the work, not junior delegation
• References from previous SAP migration projects upon request
• Experience opening and managing SAP OSS messages in case escalation to SAP support is needed during migration
