SAP Reports on Cloud Growth and Momentum from RISE with SAP and SAP S/4HANA SalesJul 23, 2021 — Cloud growth continues to drive SAP sales but has not yet completely offset the decline in traditional on-premise license revenue. This was among the key story lines from this past week’s Q2 Earnings Call with SAP executives.
SAP’s announcement was full of updates on key solutions such as SAP S/4HANA and its overall cloud portfolio. SAP’s cloud backlog increased 20% year over year to 7.8 billion euros. General Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revenue jumped 25% year over year, excluding intelligent spend. This growth was not enough to offset SAP’s traditional on-premise software business, as overall software license and support revenue declined 5% for the quarter.
The newly released RISE with SAP offering is starting to become a key driver for both SAP S/4HANA and overall cloud sales, reported SAP executives. SAP S/4HANA has also reached a new customer milestone and an annual run rate exceeding one billion euros.
There are several implications for business and IT leaders that run SAP particularly as they look to adopt new cloud and SAP add-on solutions. Watch these critical guideposts from this announcement as you evolve your SAP strategy and investments in the coming year.

Microsoft’s Joao Couto Answers Questions About Expanded SAP-Microsoft Partnership, RISE with SAP, and Other MattersApr 26, 2021 — Familiar business models are no longer effective as the need to predict demand becomes more essential, the number of employees who need remote access to systems grows, and security requirements become more important than ever. Organizations need transparency so they know what is really going on in their businesses — and so they can accelerate their innovation cycles. According to Joao Couto, Vice President of the SAP Business Unit at Microsoft, companies want to update their systems faster in order to achieve this acceleration, but “the challenge is that customers have spent many years investing heavily in their existing legacy SAP systems, applying complex customizations that almost keep businesses hostage because they are slower in their abilities to respond to the very fast pace of business needs.”
In an exclusive interview with SAPinsider, Couto shares his perspective on the challenging circumstances that companies face today, and benefits he’s seen as a result of digital acceleration. Couto also shares insights into why companies should take advantage of accelerated digital transformation with SAP S/4HANA and Azure compared to other options in the market.

After an Extraordinarily Disruptive Year, 2021 Is the Time to RISEApr 1, 2021 — Digital transformations were on the strategic roadmaps of many companies before COVID-19 — they just thought they had years to execute. Business disruptions in 2020 like interrupted supply chains and cash flows have resulted in the emergence of a new economy, and moving capital expenses to operational expenses and liquidity have become urgent for many organizations. Now, with less predictable revenue streams and less cash on hand, business transformation must be paid for as an operating expense. This is where cloud resources make more sense than capital-intensive, on-premise ones.
According to SAP’s Chief Performance Officer, Robin Manherz, SAP customers are faced with a Catch 22: transform their businesses faster than they ever thought would be necessary while maintaining existing operations and shifting to the cloud. This article explains how SAP is stepping forward to address this challenge directly and help its customers rise above disruption.
