New technologies are changing how we live and work, and COVID-19, climate change and geopolitical tensions are exposing how fragile our world is. SAP has introduced RISE with SAP to the market, a clear and flexible pathway for every organization to move toward becoming an intelligent enterprise to help our customers to respond to these challenging times.

RISE with SAP will support customers to benefit from the simplicity of a business process redesign, technical migration service, an intelligent enterprise build including SAP Business Technology Platform, and hyperscaler capacity. We bundle these together on one SAP contract, thus reducing your vendor engagement relative to SLA, operations, and issue handling.

We rely on our ecosystem to provide solution extensions, add-ons and packages which can be contracted directly by the customer.
