One of the most annoying things you, as a business person, face during your day-to-day business processes is the disruption of your business model and the inefficiencies that come with the number of risks your current model exposes you to. As a result, the only way you can avoid such issues is through a complete digital transformation of your entire organization or business. Some of the business transformation processes you may adopt include robotic process automation, the use of artificial intelligence, and the revolutionary ERP system, SAP S/4HANA, among others.
You can reap multiple benefits from SAP Digital Transformation, but the digital transformation journey can be more complex than you may think. As a result, SAP Solutions created a modern business transformation service known as SAP RISE or RISE with SAP. This brand-new service aims to simplify the process of moving your business processes landscape to the cloud.
Before making any change, especially in business, try to understand what the new option is all about. Therefore, we’ve designed this post to help you understand what RISE with SAP is all about and how it can help with your digital transformation journey. So keep reading.
What is RISE with SAP?
RISE with SAP is a one-time subscription service that offers you and your business the platforms, applications, tools, and services needed to accelerate your company’s digital transformation.
It also helps you reduce the total cost of ownership while allowing you to perform technical migration of your data to the cloud in a more value-driven and sustainable manner throughout the entire transformation journey.
Components Of SAP RISE
Accordingly, RISE with SAP is a cloud solutions service package with multiple features that complement each other to aid your digital transformation journey toward building an intelligent enterprise. As a result, you can gain a competitive advantage over your competitors. With it being a package, here is a list of its components:
SAP Business Technology
SAP business technology provides the foundation to support your intelligent enterprise journey by assembling all the applications and tools under one platform. Also, SAP business technology brings about the Cloud Platform Enterprise Agreement credits to promote agility, business value, and innovation
Services And Tools
This is a bundle of tools and services ranging from analytics, and business scenario planning to lifecycle management, custom code migration applications, IBM cloud, and SAP readiness check. These tools and services are designed to help facilitate the transition.
Business Process Intelligence
A major part of the SAP offering as it provides support for end-to-end process mining while enabling insight-driven changes using its wide range of SAP solutions and capabilities
SAP Business Network
These are intelligent networking tools that enable transformation by leveraging new technologies, analytics, shared knowledge, real-time insights, and data visibility across the ecosystem.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
For all SAP customers, RISE with SAP comes with the S/4HANA cloud editions, both the public cloud and the private cloud edition. The private cloud edition is designed to run things while the public cloud edition does so over a shared cloud. This suite also features advanced analytics and artificial intelligence, among other intelligent new technologies.
How RISE With SAP Helps with The Digital Transformation Journey
RISE with SAP offers three major approaches when it comes to digital business transformation. These approaches are:
Selective Transition Approach: Landscape Transformation
This approach consolidates all the existing regional SAP systems into a global SAP S/4HANA system. This is one of the quickest and most cost-effective digital transformation approaches, as it cuts project implementation time by almost half. Also, this approach mainly focuses on the essential items to ensure you get the most out of the digital transformation process
Greenfield Approach
Also, new implementation, or new implementation, is a method for migrating data from a non-SAP system to SAP. Before, this approach is mainly about implementing the system from scratch. Since you get to create SAP solutions from scratch, you can eliminate all the limitations and issues that may have been present or exist in the existing ERP system.
Brownfield Approach/System Conversion
This approach focuses on converting the existing system in its entirety. The main principle here is more about upgrading the technical aspects of the existing system. As a result, the main drawback of this approach is that the revised system will still bear the limitations of the previous one. This approach is most popular because it is much more affordable than other approaches.
