Description

RISE with SAP represents a revolutionary shift in how enterprises approach digital transformation, cloud adoption, and business innovation. This comprehensive course provides an expert-level journey into the strategic, technical, and operational dimensions of RISE, SAP’s bundled transformation-as-a-service offering. Starting with a deep dive into “What is RISE with SAP,” the course outlines its four key pillars—Realize, Innovate, Sustain, and Enhance—and explores the history and market forces that led to its 2021 launch. Learners will analyze SAP’s vision for addressing cloud transformation gaps and compare RISE with “GROW with SAP” to distinguish enterprise and SME positioning.

Through in-depth sessions, participants will explore the architecture of SAP S/4HANA Cloud in both Public and Private Editions, the foundational role of the Business Technology Platform (BTP), and the power of Business Process Intelligence (BPI) and SAP Business Network components like Ariba, Asset Intelligence, and Logistics. Embedded AI, machine learning, and RPA are dissected to show how automation enhances ERP operations. Critical comparisons are made between functionality, flexibility, and extensibility models, including Steampunk and side-by-side development. The course explains deployment decision factors, real-world industry use cases, and SAP’s migration strategy from ECC or non-SAP systems using new implementation, system conversion, or selective data transition paths.

Learners will gain clarity on security and compliance via the shared responsibility model, 24/7 monitoring, patching, and adherence to GDPR, DORA, and NIST-CSF standards. Tool-based execution with the Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA), Signavio, SAP ALM, and Launchpad are demonstrated alongside governance mechanisms like Q-Gates. Emphasis is also placed on partner-led services, hyperscaler collaboration, licensing, and the Activate methodology phases—Prepare, Explore, Realize, and Deploy—guiding transformation with clean core principles. This course empowers professionals to master RISE with SAP from architecture to adoption.

Who this course is for:

  • SAP Functional Consultants – those working in Finance, Logistics, Procurement, or Production who want to transition to cloud-enabled transformation models.
  • SAP Technical Consultants and Developers – seeking to understand how extensibility (e.g., Steampunk, BTP) and cloud integration work within the RISE framework.
  • Enterprise Architects – responsible for system landscape modernization and aligning business architecture with SAP S/4HANA and BTP platforms.
  • IT and Program Managers – overseeing digital transformation, system conversion, and end-to-end project execution within SAP ecosystems.
  • CIOs, CTOs, and SAP Practice Heads – making strategic decisions on ERP modernization, hyperscaler partnerships, licensing models, and long-term TCO.
  • Business Process Owners and Analysts – involved in process reengineering and optimization using tools like SAP Signavio and Business Process Intelligence.
  • SAP Delivery and Project Teams at Partner Organizations – including those from GSIs or boutique consulting firms delivering SAP implementation and AMS services.
  • Solution Advisors and Pre-Sales Professionals – who must articulate the value of RISE, demonstrate tools like DDA, and build business cases.
  • Compliance and Security Officers – looking to understand how RISE aligns with frameworks like GDPR, DORA, and NIST-CSF.
  • Professionals Preparing for S/4HANA Migration – especially those transitioning from ECC, hybrid, or non-SAP ERP systems.
