Accelerating Your Cloud Future with the Power of 3

The SAP Migration Imperative

Enterprise IT leaders face a pivotal inflection point. Despite the clear urgency around SAP S/4HANA transformation projects due to the upcoming 2027 end-of-mainstream-support for SAP ECC 6.0, and extended maintenance ending in 2030, many organizations remain stuck at the starting line. Additionally, heavy customization of ECC landscapes, petabytes of legacy data, integrated third-party ecosystems, and business process re-engineering make migrations technically demanding and operationally risky. These migration projects carry a reputation for ballooning costs, technical complexity, program risk, and business disruption, all while consuming budgets that could otherwise fuel innovation and competitive differentiation through AI and cloud modernization. The result: a widening gap between strategic intent and execution reality.

For most enterprises, the cost and complexity of SAP migration is not purely a technology problem. It is a financial and program risk problem. Solving both simultaneously is where transformation programs have historically failed.

Introducing Wipro’s “Power of 3”: Accelerate SAP RISE Migrations to AWS

Recognizing that complexity and cost are primary obstacles for faster SAP RISE adoption, AWS, Wipro, and SAP have designed the Power of 3 program. This program leverages joint investments to reduce customer migration costs, without sacrificing quality, speed, or post-migration innovation capability. Migration cost, historically the number one reason for RISE adoption delays, is effectively removed as a decision barrier through this program. The resulting cost savings are reinvested into cloud modernization including BTP integrations, GenAI business process automation, and Agentic AI workflows. Customers can leverage the RISE migration as the foundation for exponential business innovation.

How the Program Works

From Migration to Innovation

The Power of 3 program is designed to do more than migrate SAP workloads. It is designed to unlock a broader innovation agenda once the cloud foundation is established. With the move to a modern ERP platform complete, organizations gain access to AI-powered services that enhance business processes through capabilities like intelligent document processing and predictive demand forecasting. Agentic AI capabilities enable the deployment of autonomous agents that handle end-to-end workflows, reducing manual effort and accelerating decision-making. Purpose-built developer tools further accelerate the software development lifecycle, helping teams to automate development cycles with confidence. Together, these innovation layers transform what begins as a migration into a platform for continuous business reinvention.

Why AWS for RISE with SAP: The Cloud That Powers Enterprise SAP

Selecting a cloud platform for RISE with SAP is a strategic decision. It directly determines operational risk, total cost, and future innovation potential across four critical dimensions:

AWS continues to drive innovation in agentic AI systems by providing enterprises with secure, customizable foundation models and AI agents that seamlessly integrate into existing SAP business operations while maintaining data privacy and compliance. For SAP customers, this means embedding intelligent agents into enterprise grade Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, and Finance workflows, turning the migration journey into a comprehensive business transformation.

Why Wipro: Experience That Delivers Innovation

Wipro brings a proven SAP-on-AWS practice spanning industries and geographies, with purpose-built tools, accelerators, and delivery frameworks that drive predictable transformation outcomes. Wipro’s capabilities cover the full SAP lifecycle — readiness assessment, migration, optimization, and ongoing operations — including SAP Cloud ERP Private (formerly RISE with SAP) aligned to SAP's clean core principles. Wipro leverages its Wipro WINGS platform (automation and industry-aligned accelerators that reduce migration timelines and risk) and Wipro WEGA agentic AI platform to embed intelligence into SAP workloads, enabling customers to reimagine business processes on AWS to differentiate their delivery. 

Backed by deep SAP and AWS-certified expertise, Wipro ensures transformations leverage appropriate AWS services and reference architectures for optimal performance, security, and cost efficiency.

AWS and Wipro: A Proven Partnership for SAP Transformation

Wipro is an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner with demonstrated SAP competency across manufacturing, retail, financial services, and life sciences. Wipro’s proprietary Safe Passage migration framework and eSymphony transformation platform systematically reduce risk, accelerate timelines, and protect business continuity through complex SAP transformations.

Combined with AWS's global infrastructure, 18+ years of joint SAP engineering, and thousands of SAP production customers, the partnership delivers proven outcomes: faster go-lives, lower total cost of ownership, and access to AWS's full-service portfolio including generative AI capabilities that extend the value of SAP investments.

The Time to Act Is Now

The 2027 ECC end-of-mainstream-support deadline is no longer distant—it demands action now. Every quarter of delay narrows the window for a structured migration and increases the risk of a high-cost, emergency cutover.

The Power of 3 program changes the economics of SAP transformation. By combining incentives from AWS, Wipro and SAP, the program removes cost as a barrier, accelerates decision-making, and positions every migrated customer for cloud-native innovation.
