    Solution Brief Overview

    Moving to SAP RISE is a highly complex, mission-critical transformation. Learn how Automic Automation can help you navigate it with confidence. This solution brief explores how enterprises can reduce migration risk, maintain architectural flexibility, and align with SAP's "Clean Core" strategy while unifying scheduling from mainframe to cloud. Read on to discover how to bridge your SAP and non-SAP workflows with Automic.

    Key Takeaways

    • Clean Core Maintenance: Automic integrates to SAP RISE through secure, standard, documented interfaces to maintain a Clean Core.
    • Architectural Flexibility: Flexible deployment approaches support your transition to SAP RISE, whether you modernize your workflows or transition a lift-and-shift of your existing processes.
    • Operational Continuity: Ensure business continuity and direct integration during complex SAP RISE migrations with Automic.

    Key Benefits

    Native SAP Interoperability

    Broadcom integrates via standard, SAP-documented interfaces. Your orchestration workflows remain fully supported, upgrade-safe, and aligned with SAP Clean Core architecture.

    Complete Enterprise Context

    The platform delivers orchestration spanning mainframe to cloud. IT teams orchestrate SAP S/4HANA alongside Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, Salesforce, Workday, Databricks, Snowflake, Apache Kafka, and legacy architectures.

    Clean Core Alignment

    Broadcom supports SAP Clean Core strategy by keeping the S/4HANA ERP environment pristine, standardized, and upgrade-safe. The automation engine manages complex dependencies, conditional logic, and cross-system data pipeline validations externally through approved APIs.

    SAP Certified Integration

    Automic Automation holds certified integration with RISE with SAP S/4HANA. Broadcom provides a deterministic control plane that delivers operational readiness whether teams require agentless API integration or local operating system dependencies.

    Architectural Flexibility: Your Journey, Your Choice

    Broadcom recognizes that enterprise migrations require deployment flexibility rather than a single, restrictive SaaS model. Automic supports SAP RISE transformations across three architectural models:

    Cloud-First

    Modernized & Agentless

    Automic acts as an externalized control plane deployable in cloud, on-premises, or SaaS environments. The platform provides true Clean Core, zero-footprint access to the SAP RISE managed boundary, natively initiating S/4HANA Application Jobs and BTP service chains using authenticated web services and standard SAP BTP Cloud Connector integration.

    Storage Bridging

    SAP File Transfer

    Enterprises dependent on OS-level scripts and file-handling workflows migrate to RISE without stalling projects to refactor thousands of jobs. Automic agents bridge SAP RISE with external data storage platforms including AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud, Secure FTP, and NFS file shares.

    Zero Refactoring

    Lift-and-Shift

    Broadcom deploys Automic agents directly within the RISE environment through partnership with SAP Enterprise Cloud Services (ECS). SAP provisions and manages the agent with official SAP approval, allowing existing workflows to transition without modification, disruption, or refactoring.

    Key Features and Capabilities

    Field-Proven Scale Validation

    Global 2000 enterprises rely on Automic to execute tens of millions of daily mission-critical tasks. The architecture provides deterministic policy enforcement, clustering, disaster recovery, and high availability across the world's most demanding IT estates.

    Predictive SLA Management

    Integrated Automation Analytics & Intelligence delivers machine-learning-driven critical-path visibility and early breach forecasting. Operations teams identify delays proactively to protect business commitments and maintain operational momentum.

    Enterprise Control Plane & Supported SAP Integrations

    Automic serves as the overarching control plane, eliminating operational blind spots, brittle scripts, and manual handoffs across microservices, Kubernetes, SaaS applications, and mainframes. The solution provides native integration support across core SAP technologies:

    SAP S/4HANA SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BOBI) SAP Data Intelligence (DI) SAP Integration Suite (IS) SAP Job Scheduling Service (JSS) SAP S/4HANA Application Jobs SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) SAP Datasphere SAP Profitability and Performance Management (PaPM)

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does Automic Automation support SAP's Clean Core strategy?

    Automic Automation maintains an SAP Clean Core by orchestrating complex cross-system business processes externally through approved SAP APIs. This architecture manages dependencies, conditional logic, and validations outside the ERP application, keeping the S/4HANA environment pristine, standardized, and upgrade-safe.

    Broadcom interacts with SAP exclusively through standard, documented interfaces such as OData, REST, and the SAP BTP Cloud Connector. External execution ensures enterprise orchestration remains fully supported without modifying core application code. Organizations safeguard software upgrade paths, protect RISE service level agreements, and prevent operational disruptions.

    What deployment approaches support an enterprise transition to SAP RISE?

    Enterprises transition to SAP RISE through three architectural models: Modernized and Agentless, SAP File Transfer, and Lift-and-Shift. These options support modern cloud-first workflows via web services, bridge external cloud storage without refactoring scripts, or deploy managed agents directly within SAP environments.

    The Modernized and Agentless model uses AutoSys as an externalized control plane in cloud, on-premises, or SaaS environments to initiate S/4HANA Application Jobs and BTP service chains. The SAP File Transfer approach connects SAP RISE to external repositories including AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud, and Secure FTP. The Lift-and-Shift option provisions Automic agents directly inside the SAP RISE network through partnership with SAP Enterprise Cloud Services, preserving existing workflows without disruption.

    How does technical API compliance differ from an SAP Endorsed App designation?

    Technical API compliance guarantees that automation interacts safely with SAP through standard interfaces without risking support agreements or RISE SLAs. Conversely, an SAP Endorsed App represents a commercial, revenue-sharing marketing tier on the SAP Store rather than an exclusive architectural mandate.

    The ultimate measure of a safe SAP RISE integration is strict adherence to SAP's standard API ecosystem, including OData, REST, and the SAP BTP Cloud Connector. Market narratives frequently conflate commercial vendor marketing with technical compatibility. Enterprises do not need to take on the massive cost, operational risk, or disruption of ripping and replacing a proven enterprise scheduling backbone for a commercial marketing relationship.

    Which SAP systems and enterprise platforms integrate with Automic?

    Automic integrates natively with SAP S/4HANA, BTP, BOBI, Data Intelligence, Integration Suite, Job Scheduling Service, Application Jobs, IBP, DataSphere, and PaPM. Beyond SAP, the control plane orchestrates workflows spanning mainframes, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Salesforce, Workday, Databricks, Snowflake, and Apache Kafka.

    Core business workflows rarely execute entirely within a single ERP system. Managing cross-application pipelines with fragmented schedulers creates operational blind spots, brittle point-to-point scripts, and manual handoffs. Automic bridges traditional architectures and cloud-native environments, eliminating architectural fragmentation across distributed microservices, Kubernetes clusters, SaaS applications, and enterprise mainframes.

    How does Automic Automation protect service level agreements across high-volume workloads?

    Automic Automation protects service level agreements through integrated Automation Analytics and Intelligence, delivering machine-learning-driven critical-path visibility and early breach forecasting. Engineered for Global 2000 enterprises, the platform executes tens of millions of daily mission-critical tasks with clustering, disaster recovery, and high availability.

    Broadcom solutions provide deterministic policy enforcement across demanding IT estates. By predicting SLA breaches early, operations teams prevent downstream delays and maintain continuous business operations. The overarching control plane monitors, triggers, and sequences workflows from mainframe to cloud, providing centralized governance for SAP ERP systems and broader enterprise landscapes.
