Exploring RISE with SAP Methodology

Another dimension of the Rise with SAP Methodology is the integrated Tool Chain. Let's explore it in some detail. RISE with SAP is an all-encompassing service that provides business transformation using a suite of cloud solutions, including SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, tools like SAP LeanIX and SAP Business Technology Platform. It addresses finance challenges and provides managed cloud services from SAP with high-level security and availability. The service aids in leveraging strategic cloud innovations and includes migration and adoption services from SAP experts. It simplifies your business by reducing complexity and redundant customizations, ensuring a smooth and secure transition to the cloud. with SAP follows a one-hand-to-shake model for infrastructure, managed services and software. The journey to cloud ERP requires a shift in mindset and existing processes, but ultimately optimizes system functionality and business operations. Let's have a closer look at the different components of the integrated Tool Chain. SAP Cloud Application Lifecycle Management, or ALM for short, is a native cloud solution designed to assist customers in implementing and managing intelligent cloud and hybrid business solutions. As a central entry point for managing an SAP landscape, the solution provides support for implementation, testing, and deployment activities of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. The operations capabilities of the solution enable proactive monitoring and alerting for smooth business operations. SAP Cloud ALM, which is included in cloud subscriptions with Enterprise Support, Cloud Edition, and SAP Enterprise Support, underpins the rise with SAP Methodology. In clean core projects, SAP Cloud ALM provides the tools to navigate SAP Activate and the five key dimensions supported by analytics and traceability dashboards. It facilitates the consumption of SAP best practice content, manages hybrid development, ensures data quality, guides integration documentation, and supports interface and exception monitoring. In terms of operations, it provides full stack monitoring, business service management, automated regression testing, and release management. Complying with clean core principles is a critical aspect of the rise with SAP Methodology, which SAP Cloud ALM facilitates by allowing to build differentiating processes and functionality using side-by-side or built-in extensions. By maintaining high data quality and ensuring integration complies with clean core standards, SAP Cloud ALM aids in ensuring business continuity and quality of process execution. SAP Cloud ALM, when integrated with Tricentis test automation for SAP, offers an effective cloud-based platform for software testing and management. Launched through a collaboration between SAP and Tricentis, it combines the life cycle management of SAP Cloud ALM and the automated test capabilities of Tricentis. It allows for functional and automated software test designing and management, along with enhanced test orchestration, monitoring, and reporting capabilities. Tricentis ensures continuous testing, which is required for continuous change inherent in digital transformations. By incorporating testing throughout the application lifecycle, Tricentis aligns with the rise with SAP Methodology's goals, speeding up the transformation journey, and minimizing business risk associated with application changes. Its efficient test authoring capabilities identify serious defects early, enabling proactive measures that reduce costs and minimize disruptions. Other essential components of the tool chain of the RISE with SAP Methodology are SAP Signavio and SAP LeanIX. Both tools are used to enhance business process understanding and optimization, thereby fostering agility and success. SAP Signavio supports companies in initiating their transformation projects and unlocking the potential of SAP S/4HANA Cloud through detailed impact analysis and optimal strategy identification. On the other hand, SAP LeanIX is a SaaS application that helps customers manage and optimize their enterprise architecture, aligning IT infrastructure with business strategy. This tool provides a 360-degrees overview of all applications, business capabilities and IT components, aiding in controlling the rapidly expanding IT landscape and laying down roadmaps for transformation initiatives. When integrated, SAP Signavio and SAP LeanIX work together to leverage data for improved IT and business alignment, enabling more informed decisions which support the rise with SAP Methodology. This includes cost reduction, efficient data management, optimal IT infrastructure implementation, enhanced transparency, and standardized process modeling and architectural design. Finally, we'll have a look at another essential component of the Tool Chain. The SAP Business Technology Platform, or BTP in short, offers consolidation by bringing together data and analytics, artificial intelligence, application development, automation and integration. It facilitates cloud migration, extending and automating business processes, connecting end-to-end business operations, planning and analysis, and maintaining cleanliness of core S/4HANA systems. SAP BTP aids faster data migration, improve productivity via consolidated master data, and ensures business continuity through end-to-end testing. Through SAP Build, it allows businesses agility and innovation with low-code solutions for necessary extensions. SAP BTP also provides over 2,500 pre-built integrations and connectors for more than 700 third-party applications, simplifying the integration of various applications in a customer's technology stack. Additionally, it enables seamless planning and forecasting across departments with real-time views of data and proactive anticipation of changes and trends. SAP BTP accelerates and mitigates risks associated with the transformation to an intelligent enterprise. This concludes the overview of the Tool Chain of the RISE with SAP Methodology.
