The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation is looking to migrate to SAP "sovereign cloud" as part of a wider enterprise resource planning upgrade. The federal agency is intending to upgrade its decade-old SAP ECC6 on-premises platform to S/4 HANA, which will run on SAP’s “sovereign cloud”. The sovereign cloud, which launched in Australia last July, runs in hardened facilities that the vendor has set up for the Australia and New Zealand market. ANSTO intends to migrate its on-premises environment to the cloud, alongside SAP integrated business planning (IBP) and SAP Business Warehouse (BW) for HANA, before the end of support for ECC in December 2027. #sap #ANSTO #S4Hana #fedgov
