On Feb. 22, SAP CEO Christian Klein sat down with ASUG CEO Geoff Scott for a virtual discussion on RISE with SAP, the software company’s newest offering. The two talked about where partners fit into RISE with SAP, the partnership between SAP and Microsoft, comparison between RISE with SAP and SAP Leonardo, and next steps for customers.

Throughout the event, we heard from ASUG members, who submitted their own questions for Klein. Although we were not able to get to every single submitted question in the hour-long webcast, Klein kindly answered those questions after the fact, including what’s happening to SAP Embrace program, how RISE with SAP can help customers who aren’t ready to migrate to the cloud yet, and examples of customers who have successfully leveraged RISE with SAP.

ASUG: What happens to SAP S/4HANA Movement program now? How about model companies?

Christian: The SAP S/4HANA Movement program is a cross-board initiative connecting multiple teams and LoBs with a shared goal that “no customer is left behind on their journey to become an intelligent cloud company.” The program offers guidance to SAP internally as well as to partners and customers through the most important free, low-cost, and fixed-price offerings that help accelerate the transformation to an intelligent enterprise.
