⇨ RISE with SAP allows businesses to leverage cloud ERP flexibility while maintaining data security within their infrastructure, supported through IaaS and PaaS, and offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional on-premise systems.

⇨ Dell APEX provides a subscription-based, as-a-Service solution that enhances IT agility, allowing businesses to focus on operations while offering a pay-per-use model for technology deployment, thus optimizing resource management and minimizing risk.

Cloud provides accelerated service provisioning, scalability and cost effectiveness and organizations are increasingly adopting a cloud-based approach that enabled them to take advantage of these benefits. However, many organizations opt to run their operations on-premises due to reasons such as regulatory requirements that mandate keeping data within specific regions, concerns about privacy and security in regulated industries, or for reasons like unpredictable costs with data movement between systems and cloud, limited access to public cloud services, or low latency and consistent performance offered by on-premises data centers.

Running RISE with SAP in a data center provides businesses with the flexibility of cloud ERP, while a third party/partner manages application and technical operations. This enables an organization’s data to stay secure within the organization’s infrastructure and is supported by IaaS and PaaS with remote monitoring and management. RISE with SAP includes an isolated control plane, a private self-service portal, and strong cybersecurity measures and offered as a service under an OPEX model, it is a cost-effective alternative to on-premise systems, delivering faster innovations and quicker time to value.
