SAP Career Advice
From Basis Admin to SAP Cloud Architect
July 10, 2026 · 7 min read · CoreSAP Talent Insights
A career roadmap for Basis professionals looking to move into cloud architecture and RISE with SAP roles.
Basis administrators already understand the SAP technical stack better than almost anyone. That foundation translates well into cloud architecture roles.
Add hyperscaler fundamentals (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud), learn infrastructure-as-code basics, and get hands-on with RISE with SAP and SAP BTP administration. Certifications help, but project experience matters more.
Volunteer for migration workstreams and document your contributions. A portfolio of completed migrations is the strongest signal to hiring managers.
