We tried to use Solution Manager and struggled to get it implemented. Time and effort were a dealbreaker.
SAP Basis Team Lead
Our customer is a leading Polymer Producer and one of the world’s foremost manufacturers of polymers and chemical intermediates. Their products are used globally in textiles, automotive components, electronics, and specialty materials. At the core of these operations are mission-critical SAP systems supporting manufacturing, supply chain, and global distribution.
As the organization migrated large parts of its SAP landscape to AWS, ensuring stability, performance, and cost control became essential - without increasing operational complexity or tooling overhead.
By implementing Avantra, the company established proactive, automated SAP operations with real-time visibility across both cloud and on-premise systems.
The Challenge: Maintaining SAP Stability During a Large AWS Migration
Limited Visibility Across Hybrid Landscapes
The SAP landscape spanned both AWS and on-premise environments. The team lacked a unified, real-time view of system health, performance, and availability - making proactive operations difficult during the migration.
Predicting Cloud Resource Needs
Accurate AWS sizing was critical to avoid performance issues and unnecessary cloud costs. The team needed insight into historical usage trends and future capacity requirements.
Alert Noise and Manual Effort
Traditional monitoring generated excessive alerts, forcing administrators to spend time separating real issues from noise instead of focusing on meaningful incidents.
Tooling Complexity and Resource Constraints
Implementing SAP Solution Manager proved too time-consuming and resource-intensive. The organization needed a solution that could be deployed quickly and deliver value immediately.
The Solution: Proactive, Automated SAP Monitoring with Avantra
Unified Monitoring Across AWS and On-Premise
Avantra delivers centralized, real-time visibility across the entire SAP landscape. A single dashboard provides instant insight into system health, performance metrics, and anomalies - regardless of deployment model.
Predictive Capacity and Cost Planning
Using historical analysis and forecasting, Avantra enables accurate resource planning for AWS. This allows the team to optimize cloud sizing, control costs, and prevent performance bottlenecks.
Intelligent, Noise-Free Alerting
Avantra filters out irrelevant alerts and highlights only actionable issues. This improves response times and allows SAP Basis teams to focus on what truly matters.
Fast Deployment and Automated Onboarding
