SAVIC Powers SAP on Azure with Smart, Scalable Cloud Services
Elevate your SAP experience with Azure's cloud platform — flexible, scalable, cost-effective, reliable, secure, and compliant. SAVIC's certified cloud architects design, migrate, and manage SAP workloads on Microsoft Azure.
What is SAP on Azure?
SAP on Azure refers to deploying SAP enterprise resource planning software on Microsoft Azure's cloud infrastructure — enabling organisations to manage operations across finance, HR, manufacturing, supply chain, and customer relations.
By running SAP on Azure, businesses modernise their IT infrastructure, improve agility, and accelerate innovation — while reducing costs and mitigating operational and security risks. SAVIC's SAP on Azure consulting services guide this journey end to end — from SAP Azure architecture design through migration, integration, and managed operations.
SAP runs 40+ of its own IT landscapes on Azure, including SAP S/4HANA. Microsoft was the first hyperscaler to adopt RISE with SAP internally.
Microsoft Security Scale
Microsoft analyses 43 trillion signals daily to identify threats and invests more than $1 billion annually in cybersecurity — protecting your SAP workloads at scale.
Largest Certified Cloud
Azure offers more compliance certifications than any other cloud provider — essential for regulated industries running SAP in Europe, Middle East, and Asia.
Native SAP Tooling
Azure Monitor for SAP, Azure Center for SAP Solutions, and SAP-certified infrastructure built and validated with SAP directly.
Integrated Analytics
Azure Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, and Power BI connect natively with SAP — enabling end-to-end analytics from ERP to boardroom dashboards.
