The powerful platform Protera FlexBridge® combines the most up-to-date knowledge of both SAP and AWS. The Intelligent SAP Migration and Management on AWS platform Protera FlexBridge® is optimized for running SAP environments and connected applications on AWS.
Protera FlexBridge® is a SaaS-delivered intelligent migration and management platform developed by Protera that accelerates and optimizes SAP transformations and cloud applications management. It uses proprietary rules engines, intelligent agents, and intelligent sensing and discovery to reduce errors, speed execution time, increase scale, predict outcomes, and make more informed decisions on typical migration and applications management tasks.
