Lemongrass accelerates towards fully automated SAP on AWS with the acquisition of SDOM IP

Reading, 21 February 2019

Specialist technology company to provide the most affordable, low downtime solution for SAP to AWS migrations.

Lemongrass Cloud Platform Migrate to reduce migration downtime by over 90%.

Lemongrass Consulting, the SAP on AWS specialists, have completed the acquisition of the SAP specialist migration methodology and accelerator IP – formerly known as SDOM – from Canopus GBS. Following this addition to their service, Lemongrass Consulting announces an update to their SAP migration service. The new functionality enables the migration of SAP systems from “Any-DB” to “Any-DB” with industry-leading near-zero downtime.

This complimentary utility was developed in particular to optimize extremely large any-to-any SAP migrations. Its methodology which has been used for companies with over 30TB databases since 2014, has been brought into Lemongrass Cloud Platform as part of their Discover & Migrate module.

Kieran Pierce, SAP D&M Products CTO at Lemongrass and formerly Canopus GBS, adds “Lemongrass Cloud Platform Migrate won’t just be for extremely large and complex migrations. By the end of this year, we plan to make this available for all customers, not only reducing downtime considerably but also minimising the overall timeline for projects from start to finish.”

Reduced downtime is critical for most businesses. It reduces the impact and resulting cost of business interruptions. The average cost of migrations to AWS will be greatly reduced.

“It is our objective to be able to execute any SAP to AWS migration within the normally available maintenance windows” says Kieran.
For Walter Beek, Group CEO, this is further acceleration for the company’s path towards fully automated SAP on AWS. “Using the Lemongrass Cloud Platform, anybody with limited technical skills should be able to migrate an SAP system to AWS, in near-0 downtime, and manage it on AWS successfully, in a high-performing manner with near-0 downtime.”

Lemongrass Consulting, headquartered in Reading, England, and with operations in all global geographies, was established in 2008 as a specialist SAP Technology consultancy. Lemongrass specialises in the implementation, migration, operation, innovation and automation of SAP on AWS, covering both the SAP Business Suite and Business One applications. The company has been working with AWS since 2010, is an Advanced APN Consulting Partner, an AWS accredited Managed Service Provider and was the second company globally to achieve the SAP on AWS capability.
