RISE with SAP – S/4HANA Cloud tailored to your needs

RISE with SAP offers a comprehensive solution for sustainable business transformation, combining SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition with AI, automation, and preconfigured best practices on the SAP Business Technology Platform.

Why move to the cloud

Your business deserves efficient, tailored, industry-specific end-to-end processes that can meet the demands of markets, clients and partners, every day. Ideally, these standardized yet flexible processes should run in a cloud ERP system, like SAP S/4HANA Cloud. The benefits include flexible scaling, minimal maintenance requirements and the highest security standards.

However, there are several questions before switching to the cloud and the transformation that goes along with it: Which platform would be the most cost-effective and future-oriented choice? How will we implement potential process improvements and innovations in practice? How can we harness the cloud to maximize the benefit to our business model and its expansion?

In short, how does your business transition to the cloud as risk-free and smoothly as possible? And how can you benefit quickly and comprehensively from this newly unleashed potential?

RISE with SAP: The path to intelligent and sustainable business

RISE with SAP is designed for organizations already using SAP, providing a comprehensive package for a smart, sustainable business transformation. It combines the SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition with preconfigured best practices, advanced automation, and AI features, all powered by the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).

Unlike traditional on-premises solutions, RISE with SAP offers a subscription-based service model. This model includes the licenses, system operations, and ongoing services, all bundled into one. The infrastructure is hosted by your hyperscaler of choice (Azure, AWS, Google, or Alibaba), while SAP manages the platform, and the customer retains control of the software.

RISE with SAP is designed for businesses looking for flexibility and control. It supports brownfield and greenfield projects, allowing companies to migrate their existing systems or start from scratch.

GROW with SAP: A faster track for small and medium-sized businesses

GROW with SAP is a recent addition to the SAP portfolio tailored specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that do not yet have an ERP system. Based on the model of RISE with SAP and largely featuring the same components, GROW with SAP allows businesses to implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition in a simple, fast, and standardized way, featuring preconfigured processes to enable quick deployment.

GROW with SAP is optimized for rapid implementation through a greenfield approach, making it ideal for companies starting from scratch. SAP manages the infrastructure, platform, and key software operations such as release management, while customers are responsible only for consulting, development, and application support. This results in significantly lower lifecycle costs.
