      Managing the Modern SAP Estate: Overcoming the 8 Critical Challenges of Hybrid SAP Operations

      As SAP landscapes become more complex - spanning on-premises systems, cloud platforms, and hybrid environments - SAP operations teams face mounting pressure to maintain stability, security, and performance while enabling innovation. Traditional tools and manual processes struggle to keep pace with today’s scale and speed.

      This eBook explores the eight most critical challenges facing modern SAP estates and provides a practical foundation for building intelligent, automated, and resilient SAP operations - today and into the cloud-first future.

      Why This eBook Exists

      Managing SAP operations is no longer just about keeping systems online - it’s about navigating constant change, growing complexity, and rising expectations.

      As organizations modernize their SAP environments, operations teams must contend with:

      • Hybrid and multi-cloud SAP landscapes
      • Increasing alert noise and operational data overload
      • Manual processes that don’t scale
      • Compliance, security, and cost pressures
      • Limited visibility across systems and teams

      This eBook exists to help SAP leaders rethink operations for the modern era - moving from reactive firefighting to proactive, intelligent management that supports business growth and transformation.

      • Unified visibility across on-premises and cloud environments
