More and more organizations using SAP systems are migrating their environments to the cloud. And many of those are opting for Amazon Web Services (AWS), the market's leading public cloud platform to support SAP solutions. Since 2012, AWS is working to provide an infrastructure that improves the availability, performance and reduces costs to SAP customers.

If your company is considering moving to the AWS cloud platform but you are still unsure of the benefits that it can bring, this webinar will help you clear your doubts on security and responsibility issues, technical sizing of the platform or hidden costs.

In this webinar, in collaboration with SAP and AWS, you will understand what steps need to be taken in order to:

• Optimize your costs
• Implement the most adapted cloud-infrastructure
• Fully secure your SAP applications

The renowned and independent analyst firm IDC publishes an in depth report focusing on Madrileña Red de Gas (MRG), the third largest gas distributor in Spain and their digital transformation journey based on cloud. The report analyses why MRG decided to move to AWS cloud with Linke as their technical partner in order to transform their company business strategy from a meter-centric to a customer centric. 

On a year marked by the 10th anniversary of the company and the complex economic context, Linke ended 2020 with a revenue of 11 million euros, representing a growth of 19,5% compared to last year. 

The revenue on international markets has also expanded from 20% to 25% in terms of overall revenue and new business units within the organization such as solutions based on improving SAP on AWS usage as well as implementations on virtual assistants or call centers, now represent the 3% and 6% of the total revenue, respectively. 

Linke has also had the recognition of its two main partners becoming SAP Gold Partner and achieving the AWS Well-Architected Competency last year. 

How to guarantee security and sovereignty of your SAP data on AWS cloud?
Sensitive data and critical business processes protection is key when choosing an hyperscaler. Data might get exposed and is usually used by multiple services. For more than 10 years, SAP, AWS and Linke are helping customers migrate their SAP systems to the cloud with an extreme focus on cybersecurity. In this webinar, we will present what is the SAP and AWS data-security common approach covering:

- SAP AWS Cybersecurity services and SAP Threat Detection solutions to monitor vulnerabilities and automatically identify and react to intrusion or unusual user behaviors at both IT Infrastructure and business application layers.

- New solutions designed to ensure data sovereignty and help you keep control of your encryption’s keys according to local cybersecurity laws.

- How to generate synergies between AWS services & SAP solutions to optimize your Cyber-Defense and ensure sovereignty and compliance, for example using AWS services to detect sensitive data and how Linke AWS Connector for SAP solution can help you automate data classification with SAP.
