Meet the Experts
Key Takeaways
⇨ There are now three different packaging options for RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition.
⇨ Premium is equivalent to the original packaging of RISE with SAP on release.
⇨ Only Premium Plus includes generative AI and sustainability innovations.
When SAP first announced RISE with SAP in 2021, the package only included SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP Business Network Starter Pack, consumption credits for SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Signavio’s business process transformation tools, infrastructure solutions, and embedded tools, which included SAP Readiness Check, custom code migration tools, and SAP Enable Now. However, as of October 2023, there are three ways RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition is packaged. Given that this does not include how RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition is packaged, there are almost certainly more than three package options.
The three packaging offerings currently available for RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition are Base, Premium, and Premium Plus. SAP had initially announced a premium edition of RISE with SAP during the Q2 2023 earnings call, and had discussed a 30% uplift in cost for that package. However, instead of just offering RISE with SAP premium, SAP is now offering three packages with no discussion of the difference in price between those packages.
While RISE with SAP is to SAP’s goals of becoming a true become cloud company, the multiple packaging options offer interesting options for SAPinsiders. At the bottom tier is a bare-bones release that contains SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, some Group Reporting capabilities, and the ability to create sites that centralize enterprise applications. The middle tier, RISE with SAP premium, contains the original components of RISE with SAP. However, it is unclear whether there is an additional cost associated with this packaging compared to what was sold in the past. The top-level tier of RISE with SAP Premium Plus includes many of SAP’s most recent innovations plus SAP Datasphere.
