Solution Brief Overview
Moving to SAP RISE is a highly complex, mission-critical transformation. Learn how AutoSys 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 seamlessly bridge your SAP and non-SAP workflows with AutoSys.
Key Takeaways
- Clean Core Maintenance: AutoSys 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 seamless integration during complex SAP RISE migrations with AutoSys.
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.
Deterministic Control Plane
AutoSys Workload Automation delivers operational readiness for SAP RISE. Whether you require fully agentless API integration or need to preserve critical OS-level dependencies within the SAP boundary, Broadcom provides a control plane that aligns with your migration velocity.
Architectural Flexibility: Your Journey, Your Choice
Broadcom recognizes that enterprise migrations require deployment flexibility rather than a single, restrictive SaaS model. AutoSys supports SAP RISE transformations across three architectural models:
Modernized & Agentless
AutoSys acts as a lightweight, 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.
SAP File Transfer
Enterprises dependent on complex OS-level scripts and file-handling workflows migrate to RISE without stalling projects to refactor thousands of jobs. AutoSys agents bridge SAP RISE with external data storage platforms including AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud, Secure FTP, and NFS file shares.
Lift-and-Shift
Broadcom deploys AutoSys 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 AutoSys 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
AutoSys 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:

Frequently Asked Questions
How does AutoSys Workload Automation support SAP's Clean Core strategy?
AutoSys 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 AutoSys 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 AutoSys?
AutoSys 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. AutoSys bridges traditional architectures and cloud-native environments, eliminating architectural fragmentation across distributed microservices, Kubernetes clusters, SaaS applications, and enterprise mainframes.
How does AutoSys Workload Automation protect service level agreements across high-volume workloads?
AutoSys Workload 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.
