Unlocking Business Transformation: A Closer Look at RISE with SAP®
In the changing world of business and technology, staying ahead of the game is crucial for long term success. SAP has introduced a solution called RISE with SAP to help companies effectively navigate the complexities of transformation. In this article, we will delve into the details of what RISE with SAP entails and highlight its benefits for organizations.
Understanding RISE with SAP
RISE with SAP goes beyond being a software solution; it presents an approach to driving business transformation. This comprehensive approach equips organizations with the tools, technologies and methodologies required to navigate the modern business landscape. Here’s one example of RISE that helped Versuni transform into a “digital, insights-led modern enterprise.”
Key Components of RISE
SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition
The core focus of RISE with SAP revolves around migrating to SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud, a cutting-edge ERP suite. Although SAP S/4HANA is not entirely new, the implementation strategy adopted by RISE emphasizes a fit-to-standard approach which represents a shift from the traditional on–premise solutions implementation.
Cloud Infrastructure and Services
With RISE, SAP takes care of managing the infrastructure and applications so there is s no need for a partner to handle things, like security, risk management, and compliance. You have the option to use SAP’s cloud or popular hyperscalers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud.
Migration and Implementation
RISE provides tools and methods that help companies analyze their business and processes efficiently resulting in a faster and smoother migration to SAP S/4HANA.
SAP BTP Consumption Credits
As part of RISE, license holders are given cloud credits that can be used on areas of the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) instead of being limited to a predefined set of tools. SAP BTP is a platform as a service, focused on empowering enterprises by offering tools for data analytics, application development and automation, integration, extended planning and analysis, as well as artificial intelligence.
Access to Tools and Solutions
RISE with SAP also provides access to additional resources such as advanced financial management solutions, the Supplier Network (SAP Business Network Commerce Automation), SAP Sustainability solutions, and business process optimization through Signavio.
Benefits of RISE with SAP
Simplified Contract Approach
Products are bundled together under a single price. Manage service level agreements, operations, and resolve issues without the need for multiple contracts. This can be particularly beneficial for companies that have limited IT resources, expertise, or budgets, and wish to transition to SAP without disrupting their existing systems or finances. The goal is to provide an implementation that meets the requirements of each company.
Seamless Integration
SAP RISE seamlessly combines components, as mentioned earlier, offering a comprehensive solution for end-to-end business transformation that can easily scale up or down based on your business evolution.
Agility and Adaptability
RISE empowers companies to quickly respond to changing market dynamics. The combination of cloud-based architecture, Activate Methodology, and access to the latest tools and applications ensures agility in the implementation of SAP S/4 HANA, allowing organizations to complete projects in shorter time frame and with a better solution adoption.
Cost Effectiveness and Sustainability
RISE provides cost efficiency by minimizing investments and delivering long-term savings through a cloud-based infrastructure. Aligned with sustainability goals, it optimizes resource utilization, contributing to best business practices.
RISE with SAP represents a milestone in the evolution of enterprise technology. It is more than a software upgrade; it encompasses a strategy aimed at propelling organizations towards a future where agility, innovation and sustainability take center stage. Take Hanes Brands for example, the fashion company that successfully migrated to cloud ERP with RISE.
As businesses embrace RISE, they unlock a world of possibilities where intelligent technologies fuel growth, enhance efficiency, and contribute to long term success.
