Arunkumar Pasumarthi is helping redefine enterprise transformation globally through a uniquely integrated approach combining SAP S/4HANA modernization, artificial intelligence and intelligent automation. As Senior Client Delivery Manager at SAP, he brings nearly two decades of IT transformation experience to bear on complex programs that span the full spectrum of global business operations, delivering resilience, scalability and digital excellence across hyperscaler cloud platforms.
At SAP, Pasumarthi leads some of the company’s most challenging modernization efforts — large-scale S/4HANA migrations paired with AI-driven automation, high-availability architectures and adaptive governance frameworks. He is certified in SAP HANA Cloud Provisioning and S/4HANA System Administration, and his hallmark is delivering enterprise transformations that migrate entire operations with zero disruption while establishing long-term operational stability. “Transformation is lasting only when technology learns to sustain itself,” he says. “Our work builds systems that think, recover, and evolve alongside the business.”
His impact is especially evident in regulated and global enterprises where downtime, compliance risk and scalability constraints demand rigorous architectural design. In the pharmaceutical sector, Pasumarthi engineered a pioneering S/4HANA high-availability and business-continuity framework based on Pacemaker clustering on hyperscaler infrastructure, enabling automatic workload to fail-over through intelligent heartbeat monitoring and predictive recovery. The solution achieved 99.99 % uptime, a 60 % improvement in recovery-time objectives and a 40 % enhancement in data protection — establishing a new benchmark for resilient operations. In a separate global initiative, he led the redesign of a tax-and-compliance platform (SABRIX) for a multinational financial operation, implementing Pacemaker-based clustering and database replication across Oracle and SAP HANA 2.0. The result: zero-downtime maintenance, 25 % faster transaction throughput, elimination of single points of failure and real-time traceability that significantly advanced audit and SOX compliance.
Pasumarthi’s commitment to intelligent automation and data-management innovation further underscores his leadership. He has introduced multi-tier architectures segmenting data into real-time, warm and archive layers — an approach that produced up to 35 % infrastructure-cost savings and 50 % faster query performance while maintaining continuous availability during complex migrations. Beyond technical implementation, he shapes enterprise-architecture best practices within SAP’s global delivery ecosystem, guiding large organizations on predictive recovery and adaptive automation frameworks that underpin compliance, resilience and cloud-era scalability.
Today, Pasumarthi manages strategic enterprise clients with annual revenues exceeding $30 million, leading digital transformation programs designed to elevate operational efficiency, regulatory compliance and competitive advantage through SAP’s intelligent, AI-driven frameworks. Looking ahead to 2035, he envisions SAP as a cornerstone of a global AI-driven economy projected to exceed $15 trillion in value creation. Within that economy, SAP’s own AI business alone is expected to contribute over $1.5 trillion through enterprise automation, predictive analytics and autonomous ERP operations. In Pasumarthi’ s view, the era of AI-native SAP systems will usher in self-optimizing digital enterprises — continuously learning, predicting and adapting in real time. He foresees AI copilots, generative automation and predictive governance frameworks that autonomously orchestrate workflows, eliminate latency and redefine operational intelligence. He predicts breakthroughs in carbon intelligence, sustainability modelling and digital-trust architectures, and positions SAP as the cognitive backbone of global commerce — enabling the transition from automation to autonomy and delivering resilience, sustainability and exponential scalability.
