Introduction to RISE with SAP
We are living in a digital economy where the accelerating pace of innovation is enabling new opportunities for value creation. It's increasingly not about whether to transform, but how to transform successfully.
How to align the organization around the change vision. How to translate that vision into reality at speed, with minimum complexity and cost, avoiding undue risk.
With our deep expertise and capabilities across over 25 industries, SAP has helped many companies successfully transform using a strategic, outcome-based approach. This approach helps our customers re-imagine their experience, redesign value chains, streamline business processes, implement new operating models, and simplify IT.
As SAP looks to support our customers in transitioning to the cloud, we as a software and cloud service provider are also transforming towards a more tightly-focused cloud operating model that emphasizes continuous support. A continuous support model is where SAP heavily invests in our customers across the entire journey of their transition to the cloud and into the future as they update their solutions with new innovations.
RISE with SAP is an offering designed to help customers transform their on-premises SAP ERP systems, modernize their business processes, and adopt an agile cloud operating model. It includes a Cloud ERP enhanced with Business AI, managed and operated by SAP, and a proven methodology to guide the transformation journey and enable continuous innovation for our customers.
The key elements of RISE with SAP are the Cloud ERP solutions, Cloud Operations, and the RISE with SAP Methodology.
Cloud ERP solutions refer to the core software businesses need to run their day-to-day tasks. SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition is the tailored-to-fit cloud ERP that adapts to a customer's unique business needs and is accompanied by the RISE with SAP commercial package of additional licenses and tools to support the implementation. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is embedded in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition to automate processes and improve user productivity while customers can make better and faster decisions with insights from real-time analytics based on a single source of truth.
Cloud Operations enables customers to build an agile operating model, including running their entire Cloud ERP solution stack in a secure cloud infrastructure with SAP as the trusted partner delivering managed services. Cybersecurity and data protection are built-in and adhere to the latest standards, and compliance information about local and global regulations is identified by SAP and shared with our customers.
The RISE with SAP Methodology accelerates a customer's transformation to the cloud with expert guidance from SAP and our partners, a standardized framework, and a set of tools, referred to as the integrated toolchain, designed to manage and track the progress of an implementation or upgrade project and the overall health of their systems, in addition to other capabilities.
