In a fast-paced digital era marked by the pursuit of innovation, operational excellence, and enriched customer interactions, businesses are rapidly embracing cloud technologies as a fundamental driver of transformation. Amid this landscape of evolution, Cloud4C emerged as a pivotal player, spearheading the movement toward seamless cloud migration.
The recently concluded KaUSAP Summit 2023, held at the prestigious Grand Hyatt Hotel, witnessed Cloud4C take center stage as a Titanium event sponsor, underlining their commitment to advancing business agility. With the theme “Building Blocks Towards Business Agility,” the event was graced by an insightful presentation from Kamalakar Gunupati, Senior Vice President of Global Delivery at Cloud4C. Gunupati’s talk, titled “Move to Cloud,” unveiled the game-changing Self Healing Operations Platform (SHOP) and its transformative potential in managing Systems Applications and Products in data processing (SAP) landscapes.
“SHOP enables businesses to scale their SAP environments dynamically based on workload demands. Cloud4C leverages the elasticity of the cloud to provide resources as needed, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency. This scalability and elasticity accommodate businesses with varying workloads and growth patterns, allowing them to scale up or down without constraints. We have developed our own unique configuration management and template. We do assessments with the client to figure out what is the deviation from standard practice and tweak the SHOP for that particular difference,” said Gunupati.
Navigating the intricacies of SAP migration, management, and modernization on a significant scale presents a formidable challenge. Yet, Cloud4C’s distinctive prowess in executing these multifaceted tasks with precision, agility, and consistency sets them apart. Rooted in a legacy nurtured within the CtrlS group of companies in India, Cloud4C was conceived against the backdrop of Asia Pacific’s largest pools of Rated 4 datacenters, establishing an unparalleled digital infrastructure.
Cloud4C derives its confidence in streamlining intricate processes from a triad of critical elements. Firstly, the bedrock is the Self Healing Operations Platform (SHOP), a dynamic delivery platform meticulously engineered to orchestrate seamless SAP The technology company has honed its practices through years of SAP and non-SAP endeavors, laying the groundwork for a reliable baseline of excellence. Cloud4C’s impressive capability is exemplified by its rapid proliferation, amassing over 20 centers of excellence.
Automation emerges as a linchpin in resource optimization, delivering operational value that transcends conventional paradigms. Cloud4C acknowledges the diverse migration requirements and urgency inherent in various workloads.

“Our founder & chairman saw that we’re good at hosting all of this unimaginable amount of workload, but why not take it to the next level and manage them? That’s how Cloud4C was born. Transformation will always be complicated. The hardest part is knowing where to start. We are able to inform you of that,” said Edler Panlilio, Cloud4C President and CEO.
The journey of migrating SAP environments to the cloud is riddled with challenges, encompassing intricate configurations, scalability concerns, and financial considerations. Cloud4C’s modus operandi revolves around a collaborative approach, wherein organizations’ unique needs are meticulously evaluated to craft bespoke migration strategies.

Cloud4C’s SHOP introduces a realm of possibilities through its hybrid and multi-cloud capabilities, affording businesses the freedom to select a cloud platform tailored to their demands.
