RISE with SAP
Why RISE with SAP worked for Zespri InternationalMar 17, 2022  —  Zespri has been running SAP for nearly 20 years. Their existing business processes and underlying systems were based on a highly customized SAP ECC deployment with multiple bespoke .NET applications wrapped around that implementation. But Zespri has grown significantly since that initial implementation and were starting to struggle with underlying systems and processes that were originally implemented for an organization a fraction of the size. They wanted their transformation project to be about business process change. The focus of the entire project is enabling applications technology and RISE with SAP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition made this possible. Zespri selected RISE with SAP because it would save them money over an IaaS-based SAP S/4HANA deployment. To ensure that their deployment was successful, Zespri spent significant time preparing for their move to RISE with SAP. While they signed the contract in late 2020, they are still a month away from completing the first phase of their transformation. This will include the core SAP S/4HANA Cloud deployment along with supporting financial solutions. But their preparations and their experienced internal team helped ensure that their project has run smoothly to date. • Take the time to size, price, and evaluate all the possible options when moving to SAP S/4HANA • Define detailed plans for your deployment, whether that is on RISE with SAP or a more traditional implementation • Dedicate time to preparing your team for any project on which you embark
