SAP Market Leadership
Leader in the ISG Provider Lens for SAP HANA
Key Excerpts:
• “[AWS has] a highly attractive product and service
offering and a very strong market and competitive
position; they fulfill all requirements for
successful market cultivation. They can be
regarded as opinion leaders, providing strategic
impulses to the market. They also ensure
innovative strength and stability.”
• “AWS’ ability to document its customer journeys
on SAP provides strong differentiation versus
other providers we evaluated.”
• “With support for extremely large scale-out
clusters of HANA services (up to 50TB of memory),
AWS is an industry leader for SAP global
infrastructure and innovation. From its close
work with SAP, we expect additional service
releases, tooling and innovations on AWS
infrastructure in 2018.”
