Launched in January 2021, RISE with SAP is SAP’s offering to help companies seize the advantages of cloud computing in their mission-critical, core systems. But cloud computing is nothing new. SAP have been leading in the cloud arena for many years with line-of-business (LOB) solutions such as SAP Ariba for sourcing and procurement and SAP SuccessFactors for human capital management. So, what is RISE with SAP, and what is the big deal?

Why has SAP launched RISE with SAP?

RISE with SAP is about modernising ERP and accelerating innovation for the digital era.

ERP has been around for three decades. It has been enormously successful, initially adopted by large organisations but now relied upon by companies of all sizes, in all industries. However, the mindsets and architectures that underpin much of the global ERP installed base (not just SAP but many other brands), may no longer be fit-for-purpose in the fast-paced digital world. Yesterday’s ERP architecture and implementations stem from a very different era:

Today’s world is very different and the demand for innovation has been dramatically accelerated by:

RISE with SAP drives innovation in key business processes

These changes amount to a major inflection point for businesses. RISE with SAP is SAP’s response to our customers’ need to accelerate their innovation and transformation. This is accomplished by modernising their ERP backbone at the same time as seizing the multiple benefits of cloud computing. Furthermore, for companies that customised their ERP systems to the extent that they cut themselves off from effective innovation in the heart of their business, RISE with SAP offers a path back to a clean core based on best practices.

What are the benefits of RISE with SAP?

RISE with SAP draws on SAP’s proud heritage of helping customers navigate change

For over 50 years, SAP has helped it customers navigate major changes in business and technology; the shift from mainframes to client-server, globalisation of business, the rise of ERP, eCommerce, in-memory computing, and mobile work. Now RISE with SAP is helping companies to move to the cloud with their most important business systems.

RISE with SAP is a strategic decision

Every company has its unique strategy, but what is common to early adopters of RISE with SAP is that they all see the value and rich possibilities inherent in the offering.

A global player in the automotive industry has adopted RISE with SAP to accelerate its digital innovation in the face of changes to the features of cars themselves – electric, shared, connected and autonomous – and changes in consumer behaviour.

Furthermore, a global FMCG company that has grown through acquisitions, wants to get better visibility, planning, and coordination across its global supply chain without losing prized regional management autonomy. RISE with SAP helps them to standardise and harmonise on a single platform, reduce costs, and drive growth through even better business performance.

If your company is looking for innovation, productivity gains and industry best practices then RISE with SAP is ready to help you.
