What is Rise with SAP?

Everything is mostly digital in this new age of technology. Even the most elite organizations rely on data. This extreme use of technology allows you to have access to a wealth of information and data at your fingertips. While this makes a lot of work easier and more convenient, it also increases the risk of sensitive information falling into the wrong hands if proper precautions are not taken. This also allows data to become soiled, increasing the likelihood of it being untrustworthy. This is where SAP software solutions come in to help solve the problem. SAP is a one-stop shop for many business issues.

RISE with SAP, which was launched in January 2021, is SAP's offering to assist businesses in leveraging the benefits of cloud computing in mission-critical, core systems. However, cloud computing is not a new concept. So, what exactly is RISE with SAP, and what's the big deal about it?

RISE with SAP is about revamping Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and accelerating digital innovation.

ERP has been around for more than three decades. It has been enormously successful, having been adopted initially by large organizations but now relied on by businesses of all sizes and across all industries. However, in the fast-paced digital world, the mindsets and architectures that underpin much of the global ERP installed base (not just SAP, but many other brands) may no longer be fit for purpose. ERP architecture and implementations from yesterday are from a different era:

• There was no mobile computing, and the economy and supply chains were not as globalized as they are today* The Internet was in its early stages* The integration standards and methods were cumbersome* Big Data was uncommon, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) had yet to emerge from its second winter* In-memory computing was not financially feasible* Cloud computing did not exist in its current form

Today's world is very different, and the demand for innovation has been sped up significantly by:

• Geopolitics and globalization* Venture capital enables digital start-ups to rapidly scale new business models* The global pandemic, particularly WFH, and the way it exposed supply chain vulnerabilities* The agenda for sustainability* Increasing regulatory burdens* Workforce generational shifts

These changes mark an important turning point for businesses. RISE with SAP is SAP's response to customers' demand for faster innovation and transformation. This is accomplished by modernizing their ERP backbone while also leveraging the numerous benefits of cloud computing. Furthermore, for companies that have customized their ERP systems to the point where they are no longer able to innovate effectively at the heart of their business, RISE with SAP provides a path back to a clean core based on best practices.
