Deloitte India Partners With SAP, AWS to Simplify AI-Powered Migration Process

Deloitte India has partnered with SAP and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help SAP’s existing ERP customers accelerate their transition to the AI-powered RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud. 

This initiative, called the Near Zero Cost Migration programme, will aim to fast-track and simplify migration while providing companies access to SAP Cloud ERP, a sustainable and high-performance infrastructure. 

Anand Rajagopalan, partner and SAP offerings leader at Deloitte South Asia, believes the cloud ERP will optimise operations, improve scalability, agility, and innovation potential. 

The programme will enable organisations achieve a shorter time to value and provide a smooth transition while cutting costs and combining resources from the three companies. 

The Near Zero Cost Migration initiative seeks to streamline the migration process. It includes a suite of AI-driven tools and accelerators such as Migratex, which automates key aspects of the migration process, including assessment, SAP note analysis, CVI deduplication, and testing. 

Nitish Agrawal, chief partner officer of SAP Indian Subcontinent, said, “We are enabling customers to accelerate their digital journeys by harnessing the full potential of cloud technology to innovate faster, operate more efficiently and achieve their long-term strategic goals. Together, we are transforming IT landscapes, making organisations future-proof their operations to create lasting value in a rapidly evolving digital economy.”

Deloitte’s programme is an “exclusive offer” only available in India until July 2025. In a press release, the company said that businesses participating in this initiative will gain access to “structured guidance, proven recommendations, security principles and enhanced support at every step to ensure seamless transformation”. 

Deloitte India has previously collaborated with AWS to deepen its generative AI-driven innovations for Indian businesses. AIM reported that Deloitte India expanded its Global AI Simulation Centre of Excellence (COE) last month, as part of its broader $3 billion investment in generative AI through FY30. 

The new COE could improve strategic decision-making through advanced visualisations, digital twins, multi-agent systems, and scenario modelling. According to AIM, Deloitte has invested between $5 million and $10 million in this initiative. 

In March this year, the company announced a strategic alliance with Zoho, marking another milestone in bringing digital transformation to mid-market and enterprise firms in Indian businesses.
