With the intro­duc­tion of RISE with SAP, the soft­ware com­pa­ny has giv­en cus­tomers a ready-made path for­ward to SAP S/4HANA and the cloud. The bun­dled, sub­scrip­tion-based offer­ing is only a cou­ple of months old, but there are some ques­tions that ASUG mem­bers might still have about the offer­ing and how it can be lever­aged. This FAQ will answer some of the biggest ques­tions about RISE with SAP, while also point­ing read­ers to the great resources — events, web­casts, and edi­to­r­i­al con­tent — where we cov­ered these top­ics in greater detail. Read on to find out more about RISE with SAP. 

What is RISE with SAP? 

At its core, RISE with SAP is a bun­dled sub­scrip­tion ser­vice aimed at help­ing SAP cus­tomers adopt SAP S/4HANA, move to the cloud, and ulti­mate­ly trans­form into ​“Intel­li­gent Enter­pris­es,” an idea the soft­ware com­pa­ny has been tout­ing for a few years. When SAP CEO Chris­t­ian Klein first unveiled RISE with SAP a few weeks ago, he described it as ​“busi­ness trans­for­ma­tion as a ser­vice.” In a con­ver­sa­tion with ASUG, Sven Deneck­en, COO of SAP S/4HANA and head of prod­uct suc­cess at SAP, described the offer­ing as being ​“like a concierge ser­vice to get that busi­ness trans­for­ma­tion going.”
