Reconsidering RISE with SAPSince RISE with SAP was originally released in 2021 much has changed. What was then seen as an essentially unknown business-transformation-as-a-service offering that was based around SAP S/4HANA Cloud is now the center of SAP’s plans for cloud ERP. RISE with SAP is also at the center of SAP’s newly announced Joule embedded AI and sustainability features. Given that so much has changed, and with many potentially reconsidering plans for RISE with SAP, this is the perfect opportunity to reconsider and reevaluate RISE with SAP. What are the benefits of moving to the offering? What value does it bring? How can organizations ensure that they are making the right choice when it comes to RISE with SAP?
