What is the program about?

The digital transformation means enormous upheavals for the business world. Companies must shape this transformation in such a way that they stand out from their competitors and are fit for the future. In a word: They must become intelligent companies that outshine – through innovative technologies, a cutting-edge infrastructure and optimized processes. Sooner or later, this path inevitably leads to the cloud.

The new RISE with SAP offering includes bundled cloud solutions and services that support companies’ business transformation. SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition (PCE) is at the core of this offering. This enables customers to move to the cloud via brownfield migration. The SAP S/4HANA Cloud Suite, infrastructure management and technical system operation (with the hyperscaler of your choice) are combined in a single contract. In addition, SAP's focus is on Business Process Intelligence (BPI) and cross-application analytics. These provide new dimensions of real-time and predictive data insights to forecast performance and manage the company. You analyze how your processes perform and benchmark them against industry standards. This way, you get tailored recommendations on where application companies need to focus first as regards the digital transformation.

The RISE with SAP initiative is intended to support companies on their individual path to the cloud. DSAG, as the representative body of more than 3,700 SAP application companies in German-speaking countries, welcomes SAP's initiative and is pleased that SAP is paving the way for its customers to the cloud and S/4HANA with RISE with SAP. However, as customers with RISE with SAP would become increasingly reliant on SAP, there needs to be a transparent process for the comprehensive contents of the offering. And, if for some reason the cloud turns out to be the wrong decision, there must be possible ways back to the on-premise world.

The schedule is set. In 2027 SAP will end support of its currently active version of SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 8. That makes one thing clear: all companies currently using SAP, and that plan to continue using SAP, will have to migrate to SAP S/4HANA by then.

With S/4HANA, SAP has rung in a new age of technology. Companies and users find themselves confronted with a whole new world. As a result, the switch to S/4HANA is much more than just a migration. It is a profound transformation, one that despite the effort involved holds enormous innovation and optimization potential for the digital transformation of your company. We get you ready for your transformation process and accompany you along the way.

Without clear goals, a precise roadmap and strict quality controls, switching to SAP S/4HANA can turn into an absolute nightmare. All too often, failure to maintain a clear overview results in a costly reversion back to the SAP starting point. Only a plan that integrates all factors and ensures guaranteed quality prevents selective savings in individual areas from causing unintended additional costs in others and in the system in general.

   Strategy

We ensure that the SAP processes reflect your business strategy and that you have real-time access to the data that is relevant for your enterprise management. Regardless of whether you are planning a new implementation, migration or complete transformation of your system landscape – we show you the right way and accompany you during your digital transformation.

   Implementation

When it comes to implementation we follow a best practices approach and facilitate the custom alignment of your processes. Our SAP-certified consultants are up-to-date on the latest in software development. The implementation phase is supported by our ISO-certified project approach and is realized using SAP’s standard activate method.

  Managed services & hosting

As a service partner, we naturally offer support following successful implementation as well. As part of our service, we keep you informed about changes and updates in cloud development and help you with the adoption of new software updates. In doing so, we maintain an overview of your system as a whole and advise you as to how updates might affect your system. Continuous quality assurance is of utmost importance to us here.
