SAP’s use of AWS ….

One of my often repeated complaints lack of sufficient focus on the use cases & case studies for “enterprise” both large & SMB. If you go to the case studies section in the AWS site you can see that the bulk of them are startups or ISV’s very few are “Enterprise” and even those are not the the most useful / relevant cases studies.

In this regard, today AWS hosted slides from their “AWS Enterprise events” hosted in several cities this year. Don't see too many “Enterprise” case studies. But the presentation by SAP – was pretty interesting. Below are some excerpts from the slides:
