AWS re:Invent 2024 - Modernizing a leading global payroll solution at ADP with SAP on AWS (MAM221)

all right let's start with a show of hands how many people in the room are aware who ADP are everyone knows who ADP is according to my opinion in addition to our own hard work ADP is a very big reason why we get paid on time every month every pay cycle and that's been happening for decades don't you all don't you all like to get paid I know I do so welcome to the session learn about ADP Global views modernization Journey with AWS over the years with specific focus on rise with sap as you can see I B my special voice today it was okay till Tom till yesterday and since today morning it's been a little horse so apologies for any U uh issues because of that but I'll try my best I have the honor of uh having Marcos campon agara from ADP with us today Marcos is the VP of product development at ADP Marcos started his career as a developer in Brazil he joined ADP in 2007 as a lead developer and has played multiple different roles across different business units within ADP like payroll benefits Talent HR across countries like Chile us and Spain I also have the company of my friend anen D way here everyone a principal Solutions architect at AWS who supports ADP across various modernization initiatives over the years and anjan is a guru on designing resilient Cloud native and hybrid architectures so if you want to discuss that topic Anan is the man and I'm a principal SAP specialist at AWS I was at sap for about 16 years before joining AWS in 20120 so I've been working with some of the largest sap customers in the world for 20 plus years thank you for joining us we kept the agenda very simple we'll start with understanding the history of ADP as a company how they've evolved where they lead in the market what are their unique offerings then how did they make the decision to go with Sap's rise offering which is a managed service to run sap workloads on the cloud and then anen will take us through what else is happening in ad Beyond sap and finally we'll spend some time in the end where we discuss what the unique benefits of awsr for running sa workloads there's one thing different about this session that you may not find elsewhere that we'll also be asking you some questions so pay attention to the content over to you Marcus all right thanks uh thanks thanks for the introduction okay so I I'll start giving you some some context about ADP so uh we have been around for 75 years uh we have more than a million clients globally uh and we pay uh more than 40 million workers uh across across the globe so ADP offers basically uh a full uh human Capital Management solution to manage employees for our clients from all the way from hiring uh to retiring we have a legacy of uh Innovation a history of uh of innovation we invented the pero Outsourcing 75 years ago uh we invested very early on automation so when computers were still not a thing or were very expensive we created Global payroll uh we launched the first uh 8cm human Capital Management uh Marketplace the the first uh ATM mobile app which is heavily used by employees of our clients uh we recently announced uh the the launch of lyc HCM a global HCM solution we recently acquired the workforce uh software which is a workforce management solution so we are really busy uh on the side there's always things happening we are always looking at opportunities to bring new things for our clients to bring you know inovation uh to our clients so I'm going to get a little bit more into Global payroll because I'm here to talk about uh one of our uh products in the global P space so just to give you some more context and share some numbers uh so we have been uh doing uh offering Global Pay solutions for more than 20 years uh now uh we have 2800 uh plus clients across the globe and we cover 140 different count actually 142 countries we recently uh expanded a little bit so think about the global pero as a solution for clients that are multinationals right clients that are operating in in multiple different countries and they need a solution to basically pay their employees so they can leverage Center of Excellence shared services without having to have a presence or or Bay team an NR team on each one of the countries through this solution we offer like a deep HCM integration so think about uh external non ADP systems like workday Oracle success factors and also of course with ADP I just mentioned the lyric we have Workforce now uh in for US based clients as well we are always looking at opportunities to expand for a country perspective we do that a lot based on what our clients are asking and and on their plans uh an interesting aspect of global is local so when you are operating in 142 countries you can imagine that they are they have differences uh and there are lots of local aspects that need to be taken in account uh so being able to offer those Solutions is also important so that complements the the global offering and the two other aspects uh here are extremely important so compliance uh that's one of the main reasons clients come to us because you can imagine that being compliant across all these countries is not an easy simple task we are very proud to to be able to to offer that uh to our clients and security because we deal with very sensitive data and security is an extremely important aspect of what we do as well and uh we put lots of effort on that so a little bit of History so the journey so we started Global payroll we started global view launching global view in 2001 it's a solution built on top of sip uh 2005 we launched the EDP streamline which is like more agregator model so uh you can leverage different P Solutions across uh countries and consolidate uh that uh that that solution in 2018 we acquired the pgo and that's kind of an evolution uh of streamline basically you have like a central layer where we we get all the data from the clients and integrate with the uh the payrolls in the different countries and that can be ADP Solutions ADP pay products uh in many of them and also we work with Partners depending uh on the countries we just launched uh cero 2.0 so that is uh an improvement on top of cergo uh making the solution a lot easier to use more intuitive more automated to help our clients and next year so few months down the road we're going to have global view we start moving global view to the cloud uh with SIP rise on AWS so when you look at the central uh picture with these two main products right so global view and celero they make Global payroll right and uh global view is for our up market so think about like clients or countries where clients have a large number of employees and cero you can go all the way from one to 10 employees so smaller populations and the combination of cero and global view you can cover all the spectrum of those those clients this map is very very nice because it shows you the coverage right so 142 countries uh so we we do payroll we run payroll basically Around the Clock we cover all these time zones we are paying people in each one of these countries uh and that that puts quite a bit of uh uh pressure on us from maintaining this like so what what is a good time to make an update right there are countries where Sunday is on working day so uh it's it's a very interesting Dynamic it's it's very Dynamic from that perspective uh and very challenging as well uh I want you to look at this slide I'm going to come back to it a little bit later but um when we think about this the overall solution right so again global view celero celero is already a solution that is on the cloud it's already onws uh global view is still on Prem so we we host that on our data centers and then we have like certain layers that are common from a global P perspective so uh self-service Bal for the employees practictioners of for clients we offered analytics and Reporting tools that across the products integration I mentioned the uh Upstream integration with HMS but we also have uh Downstream integration so that is an integration platform and of course configuration setup and implementation of this uh systems okay so now I go uh into a little bit more details about to global view specifically so global view is a full self-contained payroll product uh we cover 44 countries of global view so between global view and cero that's how we get to the 142 global view 44 countries uh we have like a combination like client count combination two uh 800 client country combination so each client has a certain number of of countries that they use global view to pay their employees so can be 5 10 20 up to the to the 44 uh 5.5 million users uh in our systems uh and if there's any uh anybody with the Sip background on the audience I mean we do 30,000 uh monthly transports which is a pretty huge number uh of transports for SAP systems we have more than 400 servers more than 400 terabytes uh of storage across uh the system Sy we have a history of uh collaboration with SIP so we started again global view 2001 basically building the solution in top on top of uh sip so we have a very good level of uh of alignment that's one of the reasons uh we are taking this step forward now as well so when you think about global view and the way the way it works I basically mention three layers right so the base layer uh is when you have the templates so sap offers a number of templates uh per country right a template per per country so we basically build our template on top of that and we extend that as well because we offer additional capabilities functionalities per country so that's the the the base the basic or the the Baseline of the solution on top of that you can have country specific uh uh customizations or features or Solutions so that's the second level and then at a uh on top of all that because think about the clients so we we host very large clients uh on this solution which have their own needs and demands uh so we also offer the ability to customize of course we don't want to customize every single thing uh but we have the ability to make the customizations when it make sense and you know depending on the country you have different needs right you have maybe uh Union agreements and things like that that you need to adapt uh to the client uh reality okay so why uh the cloud so what are the drivers for us to to make this uh this change now we have been doing this for again more than 20 years it's working well it's a successful product um but basically we believe that it's a moment to we be ready for for the future we want to make sure that the solution uh is ready for the next 20 plus years third years right or so uh that's one of the the drivers making sure that we are uh leveraging the technology that is available uh on the cloud the second uh piece is uh Innovation so uh you know uh Innovation is something that the cloud uh brings you can leverage things that are there we can also uh Focus and invest more on that uh so that's the second aspect third one is client experience uh which is a very very important uh aspect it's something that we put lots of focus the I'm not talking just about here the the user experience UI ux those things but think about the resilience uh scalability being able to support our clients uh where they are uh and last but not least is growth so this this is business that has been growing uh it's a industry that is growing and we want to make sure that we're able to support that uh as it continues uh evolving okay so why uh sap sip rise so I I told you I mentioned that we have been working with SIP all these years the solution is is built on top of that rise is where sip is putting their Investments that's where the product uh is is evolving so we going to make we going to make part of that uh from a business perspective we have like a strong alignment uh and uh collaboration so for us since we want to make this movement with to to the cloud it's something we have been considering for for a while now it makes sense to to leverage that from a technical perspective uh there are certain things that we do today that my teams uh take care that uh are maybe not our should not be our main focus right so maintaining Pats updates and things like that so with rise that's part of the of the offering of the managed Services as well so we can focus more on bringing improvements to the product Innovation uh and those things and we can leverage that uh support for from sap the other aspect is being able to leverage enhancements uh in from the road maps right so again uh that's where CP is investing that's where the product is evolving so we want to make sure that we able to take advantage of that Evolution uh of the things that are being delivered U there why AWS so I'm not sure if you know but with rise rise is a layer of services and uh so with sap rise you can Bas basically choose which hyperscaler you want to be so it can be AWS it can be um Azure can be Google Cloud so that's that's a a choice that uh the a company can can make when we going to rise so we pick a AWS and there are certain reasons like being ready for the future uh Innovation aspect so I I I touched on those I mentioned those overall optimization scalability uh with the cloud so those are things that are that are important but we have like a long and strong uh history of collaboration uh with AWS we have many other products that are already in AWS or in the process of moving uh to AWS our teams have a very strong knowledge as well uh of the overall AWS landscape we have been working with them for for a long time so we really feel comfortable we understand how it works and that helps us to optimize the systems better and be more more prepared and there's a big Synergy uh with other Solutions because global view Global p is not a product in isolation so we do integrate we do have uh other products in the ecosystem that make part uh of of our offering and many of those are in AWS already so is leveraging that Synergy and last but not least I mean AWS has a very uh nice very good amount of experience with SIP as well so that's that's a plus because we can work together uh on leveraging taking the benefits from the cloud but also making sure that we are really managing it well doing things in the best possible way with uh with sap so that's how we got to AWS so how how do we get there right so I give you all this context of pp Global payroll global view but the reality is that this is is a pretty big migration uh of of a system um we support large clients many of them are that forun 500 clients and uh we build the solution on top of sip it's a multi tenant uh solution and uh we have lots of data lots of uh uh you know uh things that we developed over all these years we have basically two Landscapes uh one is already S4 Hannah so uh latest version uh of sap as for Hanah uh we have been implementing uh new clients for a little bit more than an year now uh on the solution so that is more like to like migration if you will it's more a change on the structure so should be more straightforward but then we have uh ec6 uh which is which needs to be upgraded to s for Han so that's one of the Chang that need to happen and then move to rise as well so those are the two uh main change so that's basically going to happen in three steps one is a PC because we need to do this in a certain amount of time I cannot have the systems down for days and the clients cannot use that so the PC is going to allow us to understand the throughput of data how much data we can we can uh move in a certain period of time all the tasks that are required after that post migration configurations uh and things like that so that's going to help us determine how how much we can do in a certain uh period of time then we're going to go through a pilot where we're going to move some clients make sure everything is really working well and from that point on we're going to do a mass migration which is basically taking a full environment and moving uh convert to for and moving to to rise so in this slide you can see basically we have four BS uh in production one is already as for again like to like more straightforward for the other ones because of the again amount of data that we have the number of clients that we have in each one of them our plan is to basically split that in two so that will allow us to achieve what we need to achieve in in a reasonable window of time uh and it's something we have been considering already because it also makes it a little bit easier to manage uh those systems right so out of four parts that we have today we're going to have seven after the migration so here I give you a little bit more details of how that's going to happen so if you look at the number one that pod shell so what we're going to do is we're going to take the SE system we going to create a shell with all the configuration and uh from from the sech we're going to convert that shell to S4 Han so that's going that's going where the change from C6 to S4 is going to happen and then we're going to make a copy of these two new Target systems and at that point we can move all the data from The Sur to the Target and then the clients will be on S400 uh on rise for for the s for the S400 uh landscape it's again moving from more lifting shift from uh our data center to um to rise okay so when I look back to this slide that I've shown you before basically the main change here is that the entire Global per solution is going to be onlys from a cloud perspective so global view and ADP cergo uh will be in AWS as well so the entire Global Pay solution uh will be there what is what what you see from for future so like what it looks like in the future right so it's a fully uh um cloud enabled Solution that's what we are looking for that's what we are aiming that's what we working for and this is happening as as we speak uh enhancing scalability I I mentioned I talked about uh the the scale of the clients of all the countries that we support uh and it's a growing business so we make sure that we enhance that those capabilities enhancing the the resilience uh it's extremely important uh in especially the complexity uh of the systems continue to focus on security it's a it's a very strong point and and an important aspect that we uh like to take care uh bringing more automation uh to to the overall solution and of course bringing AI right so uh ADP has a solution called ADP assist we are working on that we already have some used cases that are being uh uh that will be delivered uh soon or be are be in Pilot mode and that's going to be part of our Global Pay solution uh as well so in summary what we're want to take out of this be ready for the next anything right so the the world is evolving really really fast things are changing really quickly uh and we want to be prepared for for what's coming we're going to continue to be focused uh and even more on client Innovation uh this chain will allow was to put more Focus uh on that and uh of course security and compliance by Design we thought that without security and compliance everything else uh doesn't matter that much so that's that's another important aspect uh of what we'll be uh doing okay so if you have any any any questions you're going to have my contact at the end feel feel free to uh to reach out we're going to have Q&A at the end but before that I'm going to call unan back to the stage he's going to give us a little bit more context about other areas where AWS is working with uh with ADP uh for the cloud thank you that was an excellent view into global view and the rise decision decision by Marcos thank you Marcos for that so once again my name is Anan the way I'm a principal Solutions architect with AWS supporting ADP now you you may be wondering what's going on in ADP at large Beyond global view so what I would like to do is walk you through the broader ADP context and how we are collaborating with them now before I begin I want to talk to you a little bit about ADP here in terms of History ADP marks its 75th year anniversary this year ADP has a long-standing history and a meaningful impact in shaping the world of work with over 1 million clients ADP is focused as always on designing better ways to work and Innovation is at the center of everything they do we have been collaborating with ADP since about 2015 I would say and these high level goals have been and continue to be quite relevant today so let's walk through them Innovation ADP Leverage is about over 140 AWS services is today to lead in HCM technology I will share with you a couple of examples of applications that have adopted modern architecture patterns ADP also utilizes aws's Global infrastructure to expand their reach and Service delivery into markets worldwide Marcos touched upon that aspect already when it comes to scalability and resiliency this is an area we strive to enhance in terms of operational efficiencies performance scalability as well as resiliency now last but not the least ad uh we are collaborating with ADP to ensure that AI driven Solutions uh are developed taking advantage of adp's data as well as domain expertise and combining that with aws's AIML capabilities this collaboration over collaboration overall has resulted in a number number of innovative ways that ADP continues to do better for their clients in the next slide I will share with you some of the key Milestones of ADP in their Journey with AWS I won't uh go through all of them here but in line with the goals of innovation global scale and more ADP today runs their customer facing HCM engines as well as some of the internal Service delivery platforms on AWS uh when I talk about HCM what that means is a human Capital Management engine that Marcos was referring to it's an engine that does payroll and a lot of other things including benefits and so on so some of these Services have been designed uh in AWS from the ground up but the workloads do take benefit of the managed Services aspect of AWS so if we look at my ADP Portal this is something that you may be familiar with when it comes to check your pay tubs your W4 uh setting up direct deposit all of these things you can do from this portal this is used today by over 14 million users then we have wisely wisely platform is all about the pay card right you can load a portion of your salary into this debit card and start using it right away part of that platform includes the wisely secur digital wallet application this was designed in a matter of just months using a WS Services we have celergo this is a solution that lets clients unify their payroll across multiple countries in a single platform again this is something that Marcos explained to us expert system right that is from the latm space as we speak we are migrating this to AWS and we are seeing performance and order of magnitude better than what it was on premise and then we have the ADP lyrics system which was launch launched into action back in September this year this is an HCM solution that provides perole and other services across 75 plus countries and this was born in AWS I mean designed in AWS from the ground up so tying back to the ADP goals that I was talking about earlier here's an example of how ADP transformed their customer experience with my ad portal elevating the performance uh enhancing the resiliency posture and at the same time reducing the costs the goal here with this portal really was to bring the different functionalities of the application on par with each other in terms of performance whether it's you know set um doing benefits enrollment or you know doing pay statements and so on the team achieved this goal by adopting uh serverless event driven architectures based Bas on AWS Lambda ECS farget and more this architecture also positively influenced a multi-region active active architecture for for this workload as Davi ramachandran senior director of devop said we are using AWS because we want to be a product development team and not an infrastructure management team that would make sense right because I mentioned that manage service is aspect of AWS multiple times you can dive deep into the use case here using uh the QR code which you can scan here's another example of transformation to enable ADP for growth of business this is a workload that processes W W2 statements which you all all are familiar with I'm sure and a whole lot of them 80 million plus this was also transformed using serverless technology particularly to take advantage of aws's scalability and pay as you go functionality this would make sense because there's an element of seasonality with associated with W2s right this also uses Lambda and other servoless components uh and that increased the overall speed for this workload by about 14x at the same time reducing the cost as well as Narendra Varma director of development for ADP says with the help of the AWS team we upskilled our team we got up and running on the technology at a speed beyond our expectations in indeed they did a great job of Skilling their team on serverless Technologies at the time in a very short amount of time and lastly this whole development cycle uh enhanced their software release Cadence so that they can release the software more often now let's talk about resiliency for a minute here organizations want to secure their digital future with resiliency why so well that's because there are some key business imperatives associated with resiliency this includes business continuity and Market leadership they're very closely associated with resiliency right and we are collaborating we have been collaborating with ADP on this to ensure that we enhance operational efficiencies this is all part of the AWS well architectured framework resiliency is part of the reliability pillar of the framework right so the goal here is to ensure that resiliency is is kind of a institutionalized as part of the design as a foundation for all the applications so as a result of this engagement we have a number of ADP workloads that have better better scalability and better availability thanks to the aws's multi-az multi- region as well as the manage services functionality by the way I forgot to mention here voice of employee VOE that I'm showing here that is one application that I'm call falling out here uh as a example of improvements in their resiliency so you can scan this QR code to go take a look at this blog I co-authored this blog it was released earlier this year and it talks about how multi- region active active was achieved taking care of the latencies ETC across the regions so we covered a lot of things happening at ADP at large one of the most important business goals for ADP is to drive Innovation by leveraging the comprehensive data sets they have as well as domain domain expertise using AIML we are collaborating on accelerating a number of use cases based on gen the ADP assist project which Marcos mentioned towards the end of his presentation this project aims to bring the power of gen AI to a number of different HCM functions those are listed here in this picture over here the goal here is to streamline payroll processes and make it really easy for users to find the information they need and to even interact with that information some of the examples include driving efficiencies in parole validations generating reminders and insights doing smart analytics using AI creating nudes for example being able to put PTO request U as well as looking up tax forms so there's quite a bit of things happening there so this will be my last slide here now Marcos gave us some really good insights into global view and the decision- making process behind rise and some of the migration steps there so the question is what happens now right that the decision has been made the plans have been drawn well you can imagine sap is a very complex ecosystem with a lot of applications lot of integration points involved so we are looking at those we are reviewing those Integrations and those applications and while doing so one thing that surfaces is that there's a there's a consideration for data gravity some of these applications that handle data we should really want to make sure that these are collocated together for better performance and lower latency so that's one thing we are looking at we are evaluating the options for Integrations based on you know the AWS offerings and as we talk about AWS migrations the U consideration for VPC to VPC communication comes into the scene because rise is going to be in a separate VPC all these other components will be in the global view owned AWS VPC connecting those two will be the very first step for us and after that we'll start evaluating each nonsp applications so that's the end of my presentation thank you very much and I would like to invite my colleague Sudan dande to come on stage here and talk to you about the benefits of sap rise on AWS thank you anen allow me to start with a small origin story as some of you or most of you might be aware that AWS was born out of Amazon in 2006 and that was the time when we became the first cloud provider in the world for seven long years we were the only ones in the market that gave us a lot of learning that gave us a lot of advantage in the next 8 to 10 minutes let's learn about why AWS is the platform of choice for running sap workloads including rise based on of three dimensions security maturity and Innovation and some of you also might be aware that 2008 was the time when sap launched the first ever server in the cloud on AWS when hop platner the founder of sap saw the capabilities of AWS at an event like this and they said let's try something like this in the cloud and see what happens since then for the past 16 plus years we've been collaborating with sap on your behalf to offer their products and services on our platform like btp data spere analytics cloud signavio and more when I work with cios and other customer stakeholders they look at a chart like this and they start asking questions about their own landscape to say what else am I running in addition to rise for example that's their end state if that's the not star what are the dependencies on your HCM solution what HCM are you using where does it run what CRM solution are you using where does it run what are the dependencies on integration latency architectural Simplicity and interfaces and I encourage all of you to take a look at your own Landscapes and ask the same questions to see what that end State could look like and that will help you decide what the best architecture in your case is those of you who attended Mt garment's keynote yesterday or so recording he talked a lot about how we've been innovating for the past several years on our own custom silicon which is graviton processors for general purpose use and inferentia and trinium for AI related use cases another small origin story back in January of 2015 Amazon announced the acquisition of Anapa Labs based out of Israel who specialized in designing and Manufacturing arm-based chipsets and because of that we able to offer you these custom chipsets that give you specific performance and cost advantages sap has been taking advantage of these and based on that they have decided that they will extend the use of graviton to btp to data sphere to Cloud Alm and so on in addition they've also determined that they will be better off using trinium and inferentia to run their business Ai workloads and they already are running their business a chatboard called Jewel through btp on AWS from day one so the these are some of the things to keep in mind that btp will become an essential part of your journey when you go to rise so these factors should be part of your decision making now let's talk about some of the advantages of running SCP workloads on AWS specifically based on an IDC research study they determined that compared to an on-prem landscape running sap workloads on AWS causes 58% less downtime so business continuity is better better based on a hacked group study on security the number of incidents of security violation reduced by 45% in AWS for sap and Mission critical workloads compared to on premise and this is the example I was citing in the previous slide where sap has been using our gravit un processors to run Hana Cloud which is a database as a service as some of you might be aware and they have benefited from a 30% performance Improvement overall extensibility wise we give you access to 100% of the btp services available on public Cloud on AWS we are the only providers to do it that gives you access to the full breadth of sap capabilities in one place and Innovation is the other dimension that we take pride in as I said three dimensions in the beginning Innovation is one of them with the abop SDK or the software development kit that we announced more than 2 years ago you can access all AWS services from within in an sap environment in a very simple architecture pattern that you don't need any middleware you don't need any Cloud connectors just deploy the ABAB stack or the SDK on your ABAB stack and access the AWS services and last but not the least generative AI is another benefit that you get through the SDK or through other means you can access multiple Foundation models in Amazon Bedrock which is our AI platform from from within an sap process you can extend using AI capabilities now going back to the three dimensions of innovation security maturity let's dive a little deeper into what these specifically mean in the context of an sap landscape so just on performance alone a lot of the material a lot of the education in the market is about trying to make you believe that infrastructure is a commodity to a large extent it is but it's not all the same why because if you go back to the origin of Rise when sap announced rise in January 20121 AWS was the only provider who was offering a zero RPO for Rise workloads what does RPO mean RPO means it's just a measure of how much data will you lose if your systems go go down other providers were offering at minimum 30 minutes we were offering zero RPO for rise workloads and why is that because of the maturity of the design we have in our Cloud we offer a construct called regions at the top Like Us West Us East Europe Central so on 33 of them around the world within each region we have at least three what we call as availability zones availability zones are redundant or separated from each other by power network security and other means so if one fails the other one takes over and within each a or availability Zone you could have one or more data centers so this three layer hierarchy allows us to create highly resilient architectures for sap just as anen was mentioning for cloud native applications that's the reason how we could offer zero RPO and still do for Rise workloads another unique feature feature that we offer for Rise workloads is immutable backups which is only available on AWS for Rise workloads Nitro is another aspect of our innovation in addition to graviton that makes us diff makes us different from anyone else nro in short is our way of isolating the hypervisor or the virtualization burden on the host putting into a hardware system separate from the host so you get access to the entire compute power for the host for your application there's no penalty for virtualization we also isolate Security based on Nitro that's how we offer more security and reliability we spoke about graviton I'm not going to go there again 143 security compliance certifications and validations are available to you in AWS also applicable to sap workloads we've been supporting ns2 which is Sap's National Security related service for the longest time because because of this design and last but not the least we are ahead of our Target of 2030 to be 100% renewable energy driven by next year so that helps you with your ESG goals as well and graviton since it uses less compute power to do the same thing spoke about 30% performance Improvement it also results in a smaller footprint so that's how it improves your sustainability Dynamics this might be already uh awareness uh in your mind uh we have already announced the availability of 32 terab Hana instances which can run your S4 workloads in May of this year I was actually sitting with stepen Jones our product director for sap ec2 today and he showed me sap has certified the next generation of these 32 tab instances already for production use so if you go and check on the hardware certification directory on Sap's website you'll find AWS instances for 32 terab already certified and with these instances we can go more than a million saps per instance if that's something you are measuring your performance requirements on btp I mentioned that in the beginning btp is the core for Designing and architecture that promotes a clean Core clean Core allows allows you to keep your Erp system or the S4 Hana system relatively close to how sap delivers it to you and offload the customizations the Integrations and the extensions to btp or the business transformation platform business technology platform sorry and keep your core clean what that lets you do is it avoids technical debt over time you can apply saps Innovation saps updates security patches faster compared to in the past and take advantage of Cloud native services that are available on AWS again on the same lines AWS leads the market with the most btp services available in the most regions nine regions today more coming in the future we did continue to deploy it as we speak and 1,400 plus partner Solutions in the library that you can take advantage of related to these workloads diving a little deeper on the clean Core plus AWS Innovation story and starting at the bottom of this chart it's a little busy so uh sorry I clicked the wrong button the infrastructure layer is the foundation of everything that runs on top of it so core Hardware Nitro graviton inferentia all that x86 architecture and then we put applications on top either cloud natively or through rise and beyond that we start creating differentiated applications for our business or our industry using a combination of either btp or AWS Services we have a private link service available that allows you to securely connect across btp applications and AWS applications if you so desire so sap plus AWS together give you the power of cloud that nothing else can and then we talk about business use cases like improving revenue from entering new markets accessing new customer bases or using data to make better decisions improving manufacturing product cycles and so on so coming to the final U comment here or the final slide we have the most experien running sap workloads in the cloud in the market we've learned it the hard way and we bring all those lessons to you today with our services we do not compromise on security security is job zero you might have heard it multiple times

work with sap there's a very unique reason why we have the most services for btp on AWS because when sap engineering started deploying btp services on public Cloud our Frankfurt region was their default deployment region every Service Announcement every service announcement on new Services they come in go to Frankfurt AWS region first and from that point onwards they propagate it across the world and to other hyperscalers so we have that first mover Advantage even till date and that's the reason why we continue to lead the market uh we have a plethora of Partners 94 to be precise on the
