A recent surge in outsourcing activity
points to a positive trajectory for managed cloud services within
the Nordics, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
As the clock winds down on SAP’s support for its ERP Central
Component (ECC) system, adoption of the company’s RISE with SAP
offering is on the upswing among Nordic enterprises, according to a
new research report published today by Information Services Group
(ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and
advisory firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ SAP Ecosystem report for the Nordics
finds a notable increase in demand from large enterprises over the
past 12–18 months for both on-premises and cloud deployment of
S/4HANA. Much of that increase can be attributed to the RISE with
SAP program, which offers tools, services and software to help
large enterprises adopt SAP solutions, the ISG report says.
SAP is pushing companies to implement S/4HANA as it ends support
for its on-premises SAP ECC system at the end of 2027.
“Growing interest among Nordic businesses in RISE with SAP has
increased demand for managed cloud services outsourcing,” said
Andreas Fahr, partner and head of ISG DACH and Nordics. “Providers
are responding by demonstrating their flexibility in accommodating
SAP ERP applications across public and private cloud
infrastructures.”
With increasing demand for transformation services, SAP and
service providers are strategically aligning to offer either public
or private cloud solutions depending on enterprise preferences, the
ISG report says. While private cloud is currently still the favored
choice among enterprises for SAP applications, the landscape of
cloud adoption in the Nordics is evolving, ISG says. According to
the report, recent market trends indicate a growing demand for
public cloud alternatives.
To accommodate this demand, providers are enhancing their
operations and introducing new services, actively refining their
tools, accelerators and functionalities to deliver tangible
benefits to clients, the report says. That includes integrating
automation and AI into tools and accelerators for SAP
transformations and managed services. In addition, providers are
offering industry-specific road maps tailored to meet specific
client needs and focusing on reducing time to market, ISG says.
“Nordic enterprises are looking for providers that are capable
of delivering services with minimal lead time,” said Jan Erik Aase,
partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “That has
prompted providers to bolster their skilled resource strength in
the region and led to an increase in certified onshore
resources.”
The report also examines emerging trends in application managed
services (AMS) outsourcing in the Nordic region.

enterprises in the Nordics, including finding needed talent and
