Transitioning Observability and SAP Operations to Cloud ERP with Confidence
As SAP Solution Manager, Focused Run, and Landscape Manager near end-of-support, enterprises face a critical moment of change. The shift to Cloud ERP isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a transformation that redefines how organizations monitor, automate, and manage their SAP landscapes.
In this Whitepaper, “Transitioning Observability and SAP Ops to Cloud ERP,” Avantra explores what it takes to maintain control, visibility, and performance as traditional tools sunset and hybrid SAP environments evolve. Learn how to balance innovation with reliability, ensuring operational excellence across both on-premises and cloud landscapes.

Key Learnings and Challenges Explored
The Whitepaper dives into the realities of SAP operations during the Cloud ERP transition, spotlighting the challenges and gaps IT leaders must address to avoid disruption:
- End of legacy SAP tools: With Solution Manager, Focused Run, and LaMa sunsetting by 2027, enterprises must redefine their SAP operations strategy.
- Hybrid complexity: Managing both legacy ECC systems and new Cloud ERP environments creates visibility gaps and increases management overhead.
- Fragmented monitoring: Traditional tools weren’t designed to handle mixed on-premises and cloud architectures with unified observability.
- Operational handoffs: Transitions to Private and Public Cloud introduce uncertainty around who owns system performance and maintenance.
- Automation challenges:Existing tools lack the integration and orchestration capabilities needed for today’s cross-environment automation.
These challenges make observability and AIOps automation essential, not optional, for successful Cloud ERP adoption.
Our SAP Landscape is very complex; we can’t even imagine managing or monitoring it without Avantra. No other tool on the market can give us the same results.

Avantra platform options
Automate, Automate, Automate
The Avantra Automation Platform is built on the recognition of the growing connectivity of industrial environments and the need to both leverage and contain that. We do so for SAP operations by automating three functions which are mostly manual: observing the system status quo, communicating variances with those responsible for maintaining it and implementing improvements. Or, as we say at Avantra: observing, engaging, acting..
