In addition to ongoing application management, moving to SAP HEC itself is also a process involving a migration path that can be managed – with the help of experts who have understanding of Hana in-memory capabilities, and the SAP applications, including ERP or vertical solutions, needed to make transition transparent and seamless for the customer. This expertise may be attractive to many businesses and to the many Canadian near enterprise entities in particular that could benefit from Hana capabilities, but do not have the skills and expertise needed to manage migration to this advanced application available in house. Depending on the engagement, SAP skills may be required to integrate various other application modules, or even the customer's SAP-dependent third-party applications. In these kinds of situations, and based on its close relationship with SAP, CenturyLink may offer to host all the customer's SAP applications, and in some cases, will also provide daily operational and functional support.
