Public Cloud, Private Cloud or Hybrid – but on what basis do you decide?
The roadmap is on the table.
The transformation goals are defined.
But one central question often remains unanswered:
How close is your existing SAP landscape really to the standard?
This is exactly where the decision is made,
whether Public Cloud is realistic – or remains only a strategic wish.
The foundation is often missing
Many companies discuss Public Cloud, Private Cloud or hybrid models,
without reliable transparency about the actual current state.
This leads to:
• uncertain decisions
• unrealistic roadmaps
• unnecessary risks during the project
Fit-to-Public Cloud analysis as a basis for decision-making
For this purpose, we developed the Fit-to-Public Cloud analysis.
It automatically compares your real system usage with the
West Trax Public Cloud reference model – location-specific and data-driven.
This means concretely:
📊 Identify per location which areas are already Public-Cloud-ready
🎯 Make visible where targeted adjustment is needed
📋 Create a reliable basis for scope, roadmap and business case
And if Public Cloud does not fit everywhere?
Then you still gain.
Because the same analysis simultaneously forms the basis for your
Private Cloud or Hybrid strategy – without additional time expenditure.
No duplicate analysis.
No new workshops.
No new basis for assumptions.
But a clear decision based on facts.
Fast, efficient and without intervention in the system
Your effort:
• a single data export
• no intervention in the productive system
• results within a few days
This creates real decision-making capability –
not in the project, but before it.
Conclusion
Cloud strategies should not be based on assumptions.
But on system reality.
Public Cloud, Private Cloud or Hybrid is not the first question.
The first question is:
How capable is your system of standardization, really?
Let's talk - it's high time.
