With the signing of a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement (SCA), SUSE, a provider of enterprise-grade open source solutions, has entered into a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with AWS. As a result, SUSE will now provide migration acceleration programs for SAP clients looking to migrate to the cloud.
The strategic partnership between SUSE and AWS identifies outputs and investment priorities that will contribute to a more seamless transfer of clients’ SAP landscapes to AWS. These deliverables include global dedicated staff, channel enablement and training, and combined go-to-market initiatives including sales and marketing.
“This multi-year collaboration will facilitate stronger marketing and co-selling programs to complement our respective technologies,” said Kathleen Curry, Director of Worldwide Strategic Alliances at AWS. “SUSE frequently leans in as an AWS collaborator, delivering SAP customers a seamless experience as they migrate operating systems from on-premises to AWS. Our work will help SAP customers modernize, shorten migration timelines, and accelerate time to value.”
Global Systems Integrators
SUSE employs more than 2,000 people globally. As an open source solutions company, SUSE focuses on business-critical Linux, enterprise container management, and edge solutions. They work with partners and communities to enable clients to innovate across all environments, including the data center, cloud, edge, and beyond.
“SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications is a leading operating system platform for SAP solutions on Linux, offering a reliable, manageable and highly available platform designed to minimize the time and effort to deploy SAP landscapes,” said Kelly Collins, Global Head of Cloud for SUSE. “By deepening our collaboration with AWS and their top Global Systems Integrators, we are making a promise to our customers that we are committed to supporting their most mission-critical workloads being migrated and modernized on AWS.”
