One SAP Operation, Four Layers, One Workflow
A single operation, a refresh, a migration, a kernel or HANA upgrade, runs across cloud, operating system, database, and application at once. Today that means four teams and days of coordination. Symphony Full Stack Orchestration runs the whole procedure as one governed workflow, across any ERP and any SaaS.
Why Full-Stack Operations Stall
A refresh or a migration is not one task, it is a chain across cloud, OS, database, and application. Native tooling stops at a single layer, so the coordination between them falls to people, runbooks, and handoffs.
Siloed layers
Cloud, OS, database, and application are each owned by a different team and a different tool, so no one owns the end-to-end procedure that crosses all four.
Manual handoffs
A refresh or migration is a long runbook passed between teams, and every handoff is a delay, a waiting queue, and a fresh surface for human error.
Weeks per operation
Refreshing or migrating a landscape of many systems runs into weeks and consumes senior engineers who are needed for higher-value work.
No standard, no reuse
Procedures live in documents and individual expertise, so every run is bespoke, hard to repeat identically, and hard to evidence for audit.
Cross-Layer Procedures, Run as One Governed Workflow
The operations that used to mean multi-team runbooks, executed end to end across all four layers. Select a procedure to see the phases Symphony orchestrates.
A Complete Operations Feature Set, Cloud to Application
Everything a cross-layer procedure touches, built so an end-to-end operation runs as one governed workflow rather than four handoffs.
Cloud provisioning and migration
Provision target infrastructure and migrate SAP to AWS, Azure, or GCP with high availability, disaster recovery, and post-migration optimisation.
Operating system automation
Patch, tune kernels, manage filesystems, set up high availability, and administer services and users across Linux and Windows.
Database automation
Install and upgrade HANA, Oracle, MS SQL, and DB2, run tablespace and reorg operations, parameter changes, and user management.
System refresh and copy
Automate system copy and refresh with near zero downtime, taking a landscape from weeks of manual effort to hours.
One-click landscape builds
Stand up full landscapes, including high availability, from a single template instead of assembling each layer by hand.
Full-stack templates
Compose any standard operating procedure from 400+ prebuilt nodes across app, database, OS, and cloud, and reuse it identically.
Built to Automate Production Change Without the Risk
Automating a kernel upgrade or a refresh on a production landscape is only acceptable if it is reversible, validated, and evidenced. Symphony treats safety as part of the procedure, not a hope.
Pre-checks before every step
Each procedure validates prerequisites, cluster state, and approvals before it touches a system, so a run never starts on a bad assumption.
Restore point and rollback
A snapshot is taken before change, and a step that fails validation rolls back automatically rather than leaving the stack half-applied.
Approved downtime windows
Windows are opened and closed under approval, with users notified automatically, so maintenance holds to plan.
Zero core modifications
Standard interfaces only, with no ABAP and no transports, so the SAP core stays clean and carries no upgrade risk.
Cluster-aware failover
Patching and upgrades reboot with cluster-aware failover, so availability is protected while a host is worked on.
Evidence captured as it runs
Every action is logged with identity, context, and outcome during execution, so the audit and compliance report writes itself.
Full Stack Is One Domain of the Engine
Symphony orchestrates the technical estate and the business processes that run on it, on one engine with one governance model.
Full Stack Orchestration
The technical estate: cloud, operating system, database, and application. Refreshes, migrations, and upgrades run as governed workflows across every layer.
Enterprise Orchestration
The business functions on top: order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and month-end close, orchestrated end to end with exceptions resolved in flow.

From Fragmented Runbooks to Governed Orchestration
The same operation, run two ways. The difference is one governed workflow across every layer instead of a runbook handed between four teams.
Layer by layer, by hand
- Four teams and four toolsets per operation
- Long runbooks passed between silos
- Weeks to refresh or migrate a landscape
- Bespoke every time, nothing reused
- Progress tracked in spreadsheets and chat
- Audit evidence reconstructed afterwards
One governed workflow
- Cloud, OS, database, and app in one orchestration
- Prebuilt nodes replace manual handoffs
- Refreshes and builds in hours, not weeks
- Reusable templates for every procedure
- Live status across the whole operation
- Audit-ready evidence captured during execution
Full Stack Runs on the Same Governed Engine
The technical estate and the business processes run on one engine, and the same engine applies AI in three governed modes, so operations get intelligence without a separate tool.
Rule-based orchestration
Deterministic procedures, a refresh, a patch, a build, execute exactly as defined, with pre-checks and validation at every step.
Maestro co-pilot
Human and AI in dialogue for judgement calls, approving a cutover or a rollback with full context and a recommendation.
isAI autonomy
Continuous AI that watches the landscape, detects drift and infrastructure faults, and self-heals known issues before they break a running operation.
Connected Across Every Layer of the Stack
Symphony orchestrates operations wherever they run. SAP is the deepest vertical, alongside the databases, operating systems, clouds, and DevOps tooling a full-stack procedure actually touches.
400+ prebuilt actions, plus custom scripts through the Symphony AppStore, extend orchestration to any system with an API.
