SAP POC in the Cloud

Proof of Concept NOW!
The Silver Lining® Cloud for your SAP Upgrade Proof of Concept allows you to jump right into your research without waiting for hardware or time to build an on-site system. You can immediately deliver capabilities to numerous staff members for assessment and acclimation. We designed our Silver Lining® solution to be seamless to your environment.


Sign up and go through a normal SAP log on GUI pad. You will have full SAP_ALL access to a fully configured SAP Cloud that allows you to grasp the new components, build upon knowledge needed in the complex issue of the SAP upgrade, all while not having to install, service or support the solution.


Companies using SAP are engaged in evaluation/deployment of enterprise upgrades, new dimension tools like Business Intelligence and Solution Manager, and Xapps. As companies strive to justify and leverage these investments, executive management is looking for the following –
• Reliability in managing the upgrade
• ROI from the investment in new tools and applications
• Higher levels of acceptance, utilization and production from its user and technical communities


What is needed is the option to access a fully functional SAP landscape where SAP users can construct Proof of Concept and Conference Room Pilot environments to experiment with new SAP functionality – with full control and usability and no disruption to the production environment! HiLn has invested two years in creating a reliable, fully-functional SAP cloud landscape to address this need.


This offering will enable any SAP client to access (using the standard SAP GUI) their own fully functional SAP ECC6 environment; most new dimension apps; and the IDES data set for Proof of Concept and experimentation purposes.



Your “cloud” is highly secured and only accessed/used by your organization and requires NO internal resources (systems/ or technical staff ) to utilize. Contact our helpdesk to manage your cloud environments, refresh them for a new training class or for experimentation, restore to a core IDES image for comparison, whatever your requirements.


This solution is intended for non-production utilization as an alternative to buying/supporting incremental servers whereby we handle the hosting and refreshing of your cloud instance –in minutes!! As confirmed by select trial users of this offering, “the Silver Lining SAP Cloud Solution” adds tremendous value throughout the SAP Application Life-Cycle Management process and is ideal for rapid, low-cost access to a fully functional ECC6 landscape.


Contact HiLn to confirm your interest in deploying our Silver Lining SAP cloud solution. We will discuss your interest and requirements for using the solution and provision your own SAP clouds. Subscription term can be annual or month-to-month. If you decide you would like to enhance your SAP landscape to include additional capabilities such as utilization of your own data or setting up specific landscape configurations, our consultants can accommodate on a project basis.


Companies today are adopting Lean IT methodologies to drive higher value to their users while stretching increasingly scarce IT dollars. HiLn Solutions is committed to assisting these companies in pursuit of this goal and strive to provide meaningful soluti ons that drive value into the SAP landscape.

SAPience2009 preview

We are heading to SAPience2009 next week...we will be showing how easy it is to have SAP running in our cloud.
It takes 30 minutes to show how to start from scratch and have a new SAP system in a separate cloud in those 30 minutes fully functional production environment.

I am truly excited as you can see :) we have been talking about having SAP in a cloud and SAP has been slamming the cloud as a option. But we say YES, put your non-mission critical SAP solutions in the cloud.

The Open and Independent Conference for SAP Users
For the first time in the US, SAP users, analysts, vendors, and key figureheads who helped to create the ERP market will gather to present and discuss ways to reduce SAP-related costs and find new ways to transition into a new era.


Sapience2009 will take SAP users on a “journey to independence.” Our goal is to foster an atmosphere where users understand how to leverage market alternatives and how to avoid the negative side effects of the one-stop-shopping paradigm.

This conference is unique in several ways:

* it provides an independent perspective that embraces virtually all possibilities outside the original vendor’s scope
* it lets the original authorities who coined this market voice their critical views
* it gets innovative users to explain their novel ideas
* it allows attendees to kick the tires of real alternatives.


Sapience2009 focuses on what has become a buyers’ market. Are you taking advantage of this change? Here’s a chance to speed up this process.

Participate in:

* Thought provoking sessions
* Open discussions
* Debates on the pros and cons of different strategies


Network with peers who share the same challenges and goals.
Learn tactical information you can put into use immediately:

* A Roadmap for Cost Cutting
* Legal Aspects of SAP License and Maintenance Agreements
* Third Party Maintenance
* Second Hand Licenses
* Open Source Strategies for SAP Users
* Cloud Offerings

Delivering SAP via the cloud

HiLn Announces Cloud-based SAP Cloud's

Extensive creation of SAP Clouds for companies


HILN ANNOUNCES CLOUD BASED SOLUTIONS FOR SAP



Milwaukee, WI.,—October 13, 2009—HiLn, A leader in cloud solutions, today announced the Silver Lining Cloud Solution designed to enable companies to deploy SAP software in the cloud. Whether due to cost, complexity or lack of resources, the vast majority of SAP applications have never been set up in a cloud and have not been tested at normal user volumes, much less for unexpected spikes in traffic. HiLn’s team of technical experts have spent months refining this product for SAP clients.



“To our customers, performance matters!” said Carter, CTO, HiLn. “By utilizing our Silver Lining Cloud Solution” our customers will have the ability to start, stop, reuse or throw away and start anew in 6 minutes for each SAP cloud which only leads to greater levels of reliability ease of consumption and stronger SAP systems.”



“Improving performance cannot be achieved solely by adding hardware,” said Christopher Carter, CTO, HiLn. “SAP applications and deployment stacks are complex and must be tested under real world load conditions to assess what actual performance will be in production. Having a process that ensures systems are tested is an essential element of cloud computing development.” 75% of an SAP landscape can be placed in a cloud with no disruption to the normal day to day business of your production environment.



Delivering SAP via the cloud is a reality and moving your training system or a test system or 75% total can provide your organization the following benefits:



* Provides a low-risk approach to seed cloud solutions into your environment
* Lower TCO in the data center with up to 50% reduction in total system costs
* Sustainability with operational savings of up to 80% while fulfilling “green” initiatives
* Increased ROI through server reallocation and labor reduction/redeployment
* Solution provides access to all SAP applications including ECC6, BI, CRM, PLM, and Solution Manager
* No additional data center, HW, SW or admin hours are needed
* Never refresh an environment again – just throw it away!
