The following key considerations to ensure that operations run smoothly post RISE with SAP implementation.

Change Management: Implementing RISE with SAP involves significant changes to processes, tools, and workflows. It is essential to have a robust change management plan in place to ensure employee buy-in and adoption. Communication, training, and support are critical components of successful change management.

Governance:  Establishing a strong governance framework is crucial for the effective operation of RISE with SAP.

A well-defined governance structure will help organizations manage risks effectively.

Data Management: Data is at the core of every modern business operation, and this is especially true for RISE with SAP. Organizations need to have a clear understanding of their data requirements, including data quality, security, privacy, and compliance. Implementing data management best practices will help organizations derive maximum value from their RISE with SAP investment.

Cloud Infrastructure Management: It is crucial for organizations to effectively monitor and maintain their new cloud setup. This involves optimizing the infrastructure for improved performance and scalability. By conducting frequent evaluations and implementing necessary upgrades, businesses can ensure their cloud environment remains adaptable and efficient to meet changing demands.

Performance Monitoring: Monitoring SAP systems performance is crucial for ensuring optimal operation and increased productivity. Organizations need to establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and regularly track and analyze performance metrics. This will help identify potential issues and bottlenecks before they impact operations and allow for proactive troubleshooting.

Security: With the increasing number of cyber threats, security is a top priority for organizations operating in a digital environment. Implementing robust security measures is essential to protect sensitive data and ensure the integrity of operations. This includes data encryption, access controls, threat detection, and incident response plans.

Integration: RISE with SAP typically involves integrating multiple systems, applications, and data sources to streamline operations and improve efficiency. It is essential to plan and execute integration projects carefully to ensure seamless connectivity and data flow between different systems. This will allow organizations to leverage the full capabilities of RISE with SAP and drive business value.
