The Challenge

Migdal needed to perform a major scale SAP implementation based on tight timelines and effort of multiple teams with different expertise.

The challenges were reflected by the following topics:

  • Purchasing expensive hardware for multiple environments with varied and complex requirements.
  • Unclear sizing for a new SAP module.
  • Tight timelines which required the application teams to start development as soon as possible.
  • Management of dynamic multiple environments during the process in a cost-efficient manner.

The Solution

For this to happen we needed to perform the following:

  • Preparation – performing analysis and sizing of SAP environments to understand the minimum requirements to kick off the development.
  • Cloud Deployment– Design and implementation of Landing Zone to provide a secured environment.
    Deployment of Hana certified instances based on SAP and AWS best practices (SAP on AWS).
  • Compliance Testing – Joint effort with external 3rd party to adjust the system to Migdal’s needs and provide continuous infrastructure support for the SAP developers.
  • Automations and improvements – Implement SAP instance scheduling, FinOps services and adjustments to the environment for cost optimization and better work experience for the SAP consultants and users working on the system.

The Results

The lower environments were successfully deployed in time for the developers to start their work, the production environment was set with an updated sizing and a low-cost DR using AWS DRS.
