Oxygen on Demand takes SAP to the cloud

Specialist SAP services company, Oxygen Business Solutions, has launched Oxygen on Demand – a fully hosted cloud solution for SAP Business One, SAP ERP Business and SAP Business All-in-One.

Oxygen’s managing director, Mike T. Smith, says Oxygen on Demand is the first SAP full service cloud solution available with hosting in the Asia Pacific region from a specialist SAP services company providing all supporting services.

“There are other SAP cloud offerings available,” Smith says, “but this is the first to offer a seamless blend of infrastructure and specialist SAP support services with integrated management of customers’ SAP platform including applications and database, plus all the supporting services. It’s the first ‘soup to nuts’ cloud offering from an SAP specialist.”

Smith says Oxygen has launched the service in response to strong customer demand.

“When talking with new customers the most common questions we are asked are: ‘Can you host it and can you finance it?’,” Smith says.

“Customers - especially mid-sized companies – now understand the benefits of moving infrastructure and applications to the cloud. They want to shift costs from Capex to Opex. They want the flexibility and cost savings from being able to increase or decrease the server capacity as business needs change.

“At the same time, they want to be confident that their data is secure and highly available. And they want specialist SAP consulting and service support not generally available from generic cloud hosting providers,” Smith says.

“Oxygen on Demand delivers all of that. It provides flexibility and speed to deploy and lowers the capital cost entry barriers to customers looking at SAP for the first time. For existing customers it offers lower overall costs, high data security and a whole new order of flexibility.”

Oxygen on Demand is available now, Smith says. Organisations can either migrate existing environments, reducing data centre, hosting and costs of running the infrastructure themselves, or they can deploy it as they implement new B1 or ERP implementations.

Oxygen on Demand services will also extend to non SAP applications, Smith says. This will enable customers to migrate all their infrastructure and applications to the cloud, not just SAP applications.
