Birlasoft, a global enterprise IT solutions leader based in India, was faced with the challenge of migrating its own SAP systems from on-premise to the new cloud-based RISE platform. This was a necessary step for Birlasoft to gain firsthand knowledge of the solutions it offers and provide best-in-class RISE transformation to its clients. The migration required selecting a public cloud hosting infrastructure that offered unlimited scale and agility to fully utilize the power of RISE. Birlasoft considered various providers before deciding on SAP on Google Cloud, a custom solution of Google Cloud to build, deploy, and manage SAP systems. The decision was influenced by Google Cloud's world-class compute capabilities, secure infrastructure, and intelligent cloud tools for machine learning and artificial intelligence transformation.

Birlasoft partnered with Google Cloud to carry out the complex RISE migration. The partnership allowed Birlasoft to complete its ambitious migration to RISE with zero delays and a 99.7% service-level agreement from SAP on application availability. The migration to RISE with SAP on Google Cloud provided Birlasoft with platform agility, enabling it to add its own proprietary accelerators on top of the SAP platform. This allowed Birlasoft to showcase its expertise in tailor-made accelerators for specific industries, with advanced analytics dashboards using SAP data. The partnership also led to the creation of a Google Cloud Center of Excellence (CoE) with over 200 Google Cloud specialists. The CoE focuses on building services and solutions in areas such as AI advanced analytics, specialty workloads like ERP on Google Cloud, and hybrid cloud strategies.

• The migration to RISE with SAP on Google Cloud has brought several operational benefits to Birlasoft. It has optimized the RISE rollout with unlimited scalability in a zero-latency environment. The partnership with Google Cloud has freed the Birlasoft team from the management and provisioning of the SAP platform, allowing them to focus on their core mission of enterprise innovation. The migration has also enabled Birlasoft to build unique SAP solutions for its customers through firsthand intelligence. This has allowed Birlasoft to differentiate itself from competitors by delivering tailor-made RISE solutions. Furthermore, the platform agility provided by the migration has enabled Birlasoft to create innovative custom solutions through SAP and Google flexibility.
