Introduction
As we move into the cloud space, it has become a challenge for CIO’s on how and where to run
their critical Enterprise Resource Application (ERP’s).
Traditionally we would buy a big machine and implement the system, build a support team
around it and protect it like a castle. Now with SAAS, PAAS and IAAS offering and cost pressures
CIO’s have many questions to answer
• How do I keep up to date with Technology … it moves so fast?
• How to I keep up with patching … be compliant with IT risk?
• What should be my next upgrade strategy cloud (public or private) v/s in-house?
• Capex v/s Opex?
• How do I scale quickly and move faster?
• Is my system resilient?
In today’s environment CIO’s require cost effective solution with scalability, performance and
resiliency.

Current Trends
ERP system deployment options
On-Premises Hosted In Cloud
System size Large Medium to Large Small to Medium
Complexity High Medium Low
Data Classification Critical High Low to Medium
Capex High Medium Low
Opex Low to Medium Medium Medium
In a survey conducted by Gartner 30% of the organization said they plan to keep the majority of
their ERP system on premise for the foreseeable future. Manufacturing organizations dominated
this survey section, 50% still run their ERP in house.
Basic reasons that hinders Enterprise to use cloud are:
• Security: Enterprise stores their trade /secrets and sensitive data
• Compliance: Can I adhere to my compliance requirements (SOX, HIPPA, FDA etc. in
cloud?
• Integrations: my ERP system talks to everything; how do I get the eco system migrated?
• Dedicated network: big enterprise need a dedicated network pipeline.

Next Generation ERP Solution
Companies that are not yet ready for Cloud solution has an option to use Engineered system to
host their ERP on premises, they can run the operations on their own or reach out to service
providers that can provide Managed Services.
Oracle EXADATA and EXALOGIC system provide a contemporize infrastructure driving resiliency
and performance for critical ERP systems
Benefits of Engineered system
• High performance
• Limited scalability: available in various size with capability to grow
• Resiliency: built in HA with DR options
• Single vendor: specially for Oracle EBS, one vendor to support entire stack (application,
database, infrastructure)
• Lease v/s buy options available
• Integrated monitoring solution

ERP LEAP
An Agile approach to migrate ERP’s to Engineered system, a typical EPR migration takes a year
to complete with the ERP LEAP methodology this can be cut down by 50%.
This involves 5 phases
1. Engagement
2. Study & Design
3. Build
4. Testing
5. Steady state operations
High Level Process

Conclusion
There are multiple options to run ERP’s, for companies that are looking for on-premises solution,
engineered system can provide the cost-effective hosting solution. ERP LEAP methodology can
help them move quickly to the new platform.
ERP LEAP along with engineered system helps companies migrate quickly to next generation
platform that provides performance and flexibility to scale as needed.
