SAP RISE, or "RISE with SAP," is a cloud-based solution that helps businesses modernize their business processes and accelerate their digital transformation. It includes SAP S/4HANA as well as a variety of other services. This makes it a good choice for organizations that are looking to accelerate their digital transformation and reduce risk.
Companies are choosing to implement SAP RISE as part of their modernization strategy due to the following benefits:
- Accelerated digital transformation:?SAP RISE can help you accelerate your digital transformation by providing a comprehensive suite of services that can help you modernize your business processes. This includes services such as business process intelligence, intelligent business process reengineering, and migration and implementation services.
- Reduced risk:?SAP RISE can help you reduce risk by providing a cloud-based solution that is managed by SAP. This means that you can be confident that your data is secure and that you are getting the latest updates and support.
- Lower total cost of ownership:?SAP RISE can help you lower your total cost of ownership by providing a subscription-based model. This means that you only pay for the services that you use, and you can scale your subscription up or down as your needs change.
- Enhanced customer experience:?SAP RISE can help you enhance your customer experience by providing you with the tools and services you need to deliver a more personalized and engaging experience. This includes services such as business network starter pack, which can help you connect with your customers and partners in new ways.
Some of the key features of SAP RISE include:
- SAP S/4HANA:?SAP S/4HANA is a cloud-based ERP system that provides a single view of your business data. This can help you improve your decision-making, increase your efficiency, and reduce your costs.
- Business process intelligence:?Business process intelligence (BI) tools can help you understand how your business processes are performing. This can help you identify areas for improvement and make better decisions.
- Intelligent business process reengineering:?Intelligent business process reengineering (IBR) tools can help you redesign your business processes to be more efficient and effective. This can help you improve your customer service, reduce your costs, and increase your profits.
- Migration and implementation services:?SAP RISE includes migration and implementation services to help you move to SAP S/4HANA. These services can help you minimize disruption to your business and ensure a smooth transition.
- Hosting infrastructure:?SAP RISE includes hosting infrastructure to help you run SAP S/4HANA in the cloud. This can help you reduce your IT costs and free up your IT resources to focus on other priorities.
- Cloud-managed services:?SAP RISE includes cloud-managed services to help you manage SAP S/4HANA in the cloud. These services can help you keep your system up-to-date and secure. Managing internally is very costly and requires 24/7 FTEs.
Everything above sounds great but there are some potential drawbacks such as:
- Cost:?SAP RISE can be more expensive than SAP S/4HANA on-premises.
- Suitability:?SAP RISE may not be suitable for all organizations. For example, organizations that have complex business requirements or that need to maintain a high degree of control over their data may not be a good fit for SAP RISE.
The decision of whether or not to add SAP RISE to your S/4HANA migration strategy is a complex one.
Here are some additional factors to consider when making your decision:
- The size and complexity of your organization
- Your budget
- Your timeline
- Your IT resources
- Your business goals
Ultimately, the best choice for your organization will depend on your specific needs and requirements. If you are looking for a powerful ERP platform that can help you improve your performance, scalability, and security, then SAP S/4HANA is a good option. If you are looking for a more comprehensive approach to digital transformation that can help you reduce risk and accelerate your journey to the cloud, then SAP RISE is a good choice.
