Rise with SAP
Business Transformation in a Complete Package
SAP Rise Accelerates Your Business Transformation
Many companies have had to recognize that business transformation is a highly complex and comprehensive process that places high demands on them. With "Rise with SAP", SAP RISE for short, SAP now offers a holistic operating model that companies can use to significantly accelerate their business transformation.
At its core, SAP RISE reduces your transformation project on the SAP side to three key objectives:
• PREMIER VALUE - maximum value creation for your project
• SIMPLIFIED ENGAGEMENT - pragmatic approach
• GUIDED JOURNEY - we prepare the optimal path for your project
SAP RISE is, so to speak, SAP's concierge service for digital transformation. This makes "Business Transformation as a Service" possible for the first time.
What is SAP RISE?
SAP RISE is a bundle of software and services. At its core is the ERP system SAP S/4HANA, which is provided in the SaaS model and thus in the cloud. You can choose between the public cloud or private cloud approaches.
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 much more flexible, yet just as powerful. It consists of
- Software & Support
- Technical Management
- Infrastructure Management
SAP RISE includes the use of 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 the integration of 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.
Comparison public cloud vs. private cloud
-
Rise with SAP (Public Cloud Edition)
The public cloud edition is the "Rise with SAP" offering for standard-oriented customers. Customizing options - as known from the classic SAP ERP world - are not possible here. This model is attractive for companies with low process complexity or for on premise customers with a public cloud solution in a branch office (e.g. abroad). The model is also very interesting for start-ups.
SAP best practice processes are used in this model, which implies that only a greenfield approach can be selected as the migration path here. All other services mentioned above are also included in this model.Four release upgrades per year are mandatory, with test automation tools included. These ensure optimal preparation for the release change. Each release includes new innovations or the mapping of additional countries or lines of business, which means that the range of functions is constantly expanding.
The public cloud variant offers a favorable TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), if only because of the limited expansion options.

Rise with SAP (Private Cloud Edition)
Rise with SAP is a classic subscription model and includes the components listed above. As a customer, you 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). Both brownfield and greenfield approaches are suitable as a conversion strategy.
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 or any-premise system. This offers particular advantages to companies with extensive customizations in their existing ECC system: The enhancements are S/4HANA-compliant and can continue to be operated. High process variance and flexibility in extensibility are therefore possible here.
Your advantages with SAP RISE
Modern SaaS Solution
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.
Cost-Effective Subscription Model
In the SaaS 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.
Continuous Innovation
The SaaS model makes it possible - the IT environment for your business processes is always
up-to-date with SAP RISE. This is ensured by up to four releases per year. Since these are available immediately via the cloud, the high costs associated with traditional upgrades are eliminated.
The 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.
Software Bundles
You can obtain additions to SAP S/4HANA required by your company in practical software bundles. Examples from the world of Arvato Systems are Aqount (Finance) and platbricks (Logistics). Since everything is offered in the SaaS model, integration is easy.
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.

Arvato Systems is the leading enabler when it comes to business transformation in companies based on SAP solutions.
