7 Proven Steps to Maintain Operational Continuity During S/4HANA Migration

May 14, 2026 By Avantra Team In Avantra
Migrating to SAP S/4HANA is one of the most consequential system changes your organization will undertake. The technical complexity alone is significant. But the real risk is operational: maintaining uninterrupted service delivery while transforming the core systems your business depends on. Failure to manage this well causes outages, data inconsistencies, user disruption, and cost overruns. None of those are acceptable outcomes. The good news is these risks are manageable.

Stop Guessing, Start Fixing: AI Root Cause Analysis

May 12, 2026 By Brenton O'Callaghan In Avantra
Automating root cause analysis is often regarded as the holy grail of IT operations. A solution capable of automatically identifying issues, resolutions and even prevention.

Cost Control in SAP BTP: The Critical Need for Automation

Apr 28, 2026 By Robert MacDonald In Avantra
The cloud is the cheapest processing you can buy... until you get the bill! Unfortunately, Cloud service costs are notoriously opaque when it comes to transactional and operations costs. The results can be unexpected bills and even damage to the ROI of cloud programs. SAP BTP is no exception, but it doesn't have to be this way. Good FinOps discipline is readily available for BTP - and beyond avoiding "bill shock" such monitoring is just good operational hygiene, preserving budget and resources for productive investment.

Did we miss the end of LaMa?

Mar 26, 2026 By Avantra Team In Avantra
In mid-2024, SAP announced the discontinuation of SAP Landscape Management ("LaMa"). This wasn't a huge surprise, as the 2027 end-of-support date aligns neatly with Solution Manager, Focused Run and standard support for ECC. SAP also terminated work on SAP Landscape Management Cloud, discontinuing that product immediately. Responses to the post were as expected: customers asking, "What now?" and even expressing a bit of dismay. One response from SAP was especially telling: "Moving the ERP system to the cloud hands over the tasks realized with SAP Landscape Management to SAP as cloud vendor.

Mar 3, 2026 By Brenton O'Callaghan In Avantra
SAP operations teams are drowning. Every day is a battle against alert fatigue, complex root causes, and repetitive firefighting. And while vendor spin will tell you that moving to the cloud or adopting SAP RISE magically simplifies everything, the reality on the ground is entirely different.

SAP Application Performance Monitoring (APM): Beyond Generic Metrics

Feb 25, 2026 By Avantra In Avantra
Your enterprise APM tool shows SAP is using 90% CPU. The dashboard turns red. An alert fires. Now what? You open Dynatrace. You see the Java Virtual Machine metrics for your NetWeaver stack. You see HTTP response times for your Fiori apps. You see a spike in database calls. None of this tells you why VA01 takes 45 seconds to create a sales order. None of this tells you which custom ABAP report is consuming memory. None of this explains the short dump that crashed your pricing routine. This is the gap between generic APM and true SAP application performance monitoring. Your enterprise tools see the symptoms.

Jan 30, 2026 By Avantra Team In Avantra
Organizations transitioning from traditional on-premises SAP systems to Cloud ERP (formerly known as "RISE" and "GROW") have a new set of monitoring challenges. Unlike the familiar on-prem landscape, where IT teams enjoyed full visibility and control, cloud environments can feel like a "black box," with limited direct access to the underlying infrastructure and reliance on service tickets to understand system status.
