Last year SAP launched RISE with SAP (previously knows as SAP Cloud Nine) which should not be called as a product but it is a go to market offering by SAP. This offering stands for three fundamental known as – Business Process Redesign/Transformation, Journey to S/4HANA and intelligence infrastructure (formerly known as SAP Cloud Platform).

RISE with SAP is meant to inspire customers to take advantage of this subscription model and encouraging customers to utilize the latest version of its flagship enterprise resource planning (ERP) software – SAP S/4HANA.

The contract for RISE with SAP includes Application, BTP or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and few Cloud Managed Services (CMS).

• Business Process Redesign or Intelligence comes with SAP Provided tool which generates a simplified report called Process Discovery. This utility process is generated by the Business Process Management software retained from Signavio and this leads to understanding process chains, complex bottlenecks, areas for restructuring or modifying the business with adopting standard best practices.
• Technical Migration – This practice allows to move to S/4HANA Cloud Services with a subscription and choice of the hyperscaler (GCP, AWS, Azure so on).
• Intelligence Infrastructure – 20% reduction is TCO is claimed by SAP by using the offering RISE with SAP. This converts Capex into Opex and eliminates shelfware resulting profit to business.
