What is SAP RISE
SAP RISE is a bundle of software and services. At its core is the ERP system SAP S/4HANA, provided in the SaaS model and thus in the cloud. You can choose between the SAP Public Cloud Edition or SAP Private Cloud Edition.
This gives you a modern SaaS ERP system that can be tailored to your own needs. A comprehensive "Commercial Construct" is offered around this core. Compared to the highly structured traditional approach, this package is significantly simplified and flexible, yet just as powerful. It consists of
-
Software & Support
-
Technical Management
-
Infrastructure Management
SAP RISE includes using the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTB) - this enables the outsourcing of developments. Through SAP BTB, SAP and SAP partners can deliver innovations - examples include the areas of
-
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
-
Machine Learning (ML)
-
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Last but not least, SAP BTB is an important tool for integrating SAP and non-SAP systems and can be used for collaboration with other companies in the area of purchasing and supply chain. To analyze the business processes used, reports (Business Process Intelligence) can support in the RISE model. In addition, as a customer, you can choose a hyperscaler for the infrastructure, with technical management delivered by SAP.
SAP RISE - MERITS
1
FUTURISTIC SAAS
In the SaaS approach, SAP applications are provided as a software service. So you don't have to worry about care and maintenance - if there are problems, you delegate them to SAP. This relieves your IT department and saves nerves and costs
2
COST EFFECTIVE
In this approach, SAP solutions are billed in a subscription model - so you only pay for what you actually need. Another advantage is that, in balance sheet terms, such subscription fees are operating costs. The model also minimizes upfront costs.
3
PROGRESSIVE INNOVATION
In this model the IT environment for your business processes is always
up-to-date . This is ensured by up to four releases per year. These are available instantly via the cloud, the high costs associated with traditional upgrades are eliminated.
4
END OF SHELFWARE
Probably every company has licenses for software that is hardly used or no longer used at all - this famous "shelfware" is a notorious cost trap. SAP RISE puts an end to this: You always have an overview of the usage of your software licenses.
5
SOFTWARE BUNDLES
You can obtain additions to SAP S/4HANA required by your company in practical software bundles. Since everything is offered in the SaaS model, integration is easy. For example for Salesforce or any other Non-SAP Saas Product as well
6
LOW TCO
The best comes at the end: All these advantages ultimately lead to a very cost-effective solution for your entire company during operation. In this way, you keep the operating costs of your IT environment, the "Total Cost of Ownership", in check.

The paths to SAP S4HANA on cloud are becoming increasingly diverse. RISE with SAP opens up new and systematic approach to move to your SAP investments to the cloud with minimal effort and maximum impact at speed and scale. With Rise with SAP, customers receive a bundle of software and services centered on SAP S/4HANA as a SaaS model (Software-as-a-Service). Here, the public cloud variant with more standardized processes or the private cloud variant with greater individuality and a similar process flexibility to on premise are available for selection. Both variants are hosted by one of the cloud providers Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure) or Google (GPC).
Rise with SAP also includes the use of the SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform), which is used, among other things, for the outsourcing of developments (side-by-side extensibility). In addition, innovations (e.g. Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Machine Learning (ML) or Artificial Intelligence (AI) from SAP and SAP partners are provided here, which can be used as services. In addition, the SAP Business Network can be used for collaboration with other companies in the area of purchasing and supply chain. The customer can choose one of the hyperscalers for the infrastructure, with technical management provided by SAP. As a subscription model, RISE with SAP thus offers a wide range of services and options that facilitate the path to the Digital Enterprise.
S4HANA ON-PREM
This model can be described as a classic license model with operation in the company's own data center or at a service provider. Brownfield and greenfield approaches are possible in the transformation process. The customer selects the data center service provider and the service provider for technical management itself. This variant offers a high process variance and flexibility in expandability. An update to a higher S/4HANA version is not mandatory, but is recommended after at least 5 years in order not to run out of SAP maintenance (corresponds to the 5-year maintenance period for an SAP release).
S4HANA CLOUD
In this model, too, the customer owns its own SAP S/4HANA licenses and selects one of the hyperscalers (Azure, AWS, GCP) for the infrastructure. All other points do not differ from the previous model, so that a brownfield or greenfield approach is also possible here. Likewise, the service provider for technical management can be freely selected here. Similarly, a high process variance and high flexibility in expandability are also given here. In addition, integration into existing cloud solutions (e.g. Office 365) is easier, depending on which hyperscaler is used.
SAP RISE - PVT CLOUD
Rise with SAP is a classic subscription model and includes all the components. The customer can choose a term of up to 60 months, during which an upgrade to a newer S/4HANA version is mandatory (once in 5 years).
In addition to the additional RISE services such as
-
SAP BTP
-
Business Process Intelligence
-
Business Network
S/4HANA can be operated like an on-premise, with major customizations in their existing ECC system, as the enhancements are S/4HANA-compliant but can continue to be operated. So here, too, a high process variance and high flexibility and extensibility are possible.
SAP RISE PUBLIC CLOUD
The Public Cloud Edition is best for near-standard customers. Customizing options, are limited. This model is suitable for the SMB customers with low process complexity or for on premise customers with a public cloud solution for a branch office. However, it can also be used for start-ups.
Only a greenfield approach is feasible. The four release upgrades per year are mandatory, with test automation tools included. These ensure that a release change is well prepared for. Each release contains new innovations or the mapping of additional countries or lines of business, which means that the range of functions is constantly expanding.
In the public cloud variant, one can certainly speak of the lowest TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of all alternatives due to the low extensions alone.
sap rise - factors to consider
Companies contemplating a switch to S/4HANA will have to intensively think through different options, models & strategies. Companies are advised to weigh in all the pros and cons on the basis of their own transformation & digitization strategies. Some sample critical factors to review and consider:
-
Management analysis and comparison (OPEX vs. CAPEX)
-
Do you need Region (EU etc. ) Support or Country Version Support ( BZ etc.) ?
-
What level of support flexibility is desired?
-
Which SAP Add-ons are available in the existing installation and where do they continue to operate?
Ideally, a trustworthy partner with extensive transformation and cloud experience will be able to provide support, correctly classify the pros and cons for the respective company and explain the consequences. The decision for or against one of the operating models should be made with the utmost care, as it can have far-reaching consequences.
