- Consuming business events from SAP and non-SAP sources
- Data transmission for both extension and integration scenarios
Being part of the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) means that SAP Event Mesh can leverage other parts of SAP BTP, for example integration, to connect with solutions like SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Technology Platform ABAP Environment, and non-SAP data sources in order to consume events and then have actions occur, through the publication of an event, in a linked SAP or non-SAP system.

SAPinsider Research: RISE with SAP 2024Jan 16, 2025 — SAP has continued to refine the messaging around RISE with SAP in 2024, positioning it as a platform for innovation, one that continues to play a key role in SAP’s cloud ERP transformation strategy for its customers. Additionally, SAP is now providing embedded AI scenarios that will allow organizations to accelerate processes and optimize their decision-making in RISE with SAP as SAP’s generative AI assistant Joule will be available in both SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition. SAP also seems to be looking towards a future where most customers are using public cloud for the cloud ERP deployments though this is still some way off.
To understand and gather insights on RISE with SAP, how customers’ perspectives have evolved, and its role in the transformation strategies of the SAPinsider community, SAPinsider surveyed 125 members of its community between August and November 2024. Survey data reveals an unambiguous point: familiarity with RISE with SAP is growing. While the proportion of respondents “very familiar” with RISE with SAP was almost same in 2024 and 2023, a significant growth is seen in those reporting familiarity with the offering. This is supported by a corresponding decline in the number of respondents reporting they are “somewhat familiar” with RISE with SAP. There is also a difference in familiarity based on the size of a respondent's organization. For example, 86% of respondents from organizations with revenues over $2 billion report that they are at least familiar with RISE with SAP compared with just 54% of respondents from organizations with annual revenues below $2 billion.
Last year, the single contract offered for RISE with SAP became the biggest benefit to respondent organizations which significantly increased this year. This growth in perceived value demonstrates that many organizations see the single contract with SAP as a major benefit when compared to negotiating for multiple contracts with multiple providers in more traditional ERP deployments. Notably, nearly twice as many respondents now view RISE with SAP as a platform for innovation—a significant potential benefit, and this aligns with SAP's marketing efforts over the past year.
Additionally, while most potential benefits saw at least some growth no matter how small, it not true for cost which saw a slight decrease. In fact, when asking respondents about their biggest area of concern when it came to RISE with SAP, cost was at the top of that list. And the proportion of respondents indicating that was the case grew from 63% last year to 73% this year. Despite the significant benefits of RISE with SAP, concerns about the long-term costs associated with transitioning to RISE with SAP persist. Given the changes in packaging and contracts since the offering was announced, this concern is justified.
This year's research also explored how familiar respondents were with the different components in RISE with SAP and the factors that they plan on using when choosing a cloud service provider for their RISE with SAP deployment. Deeper analysis of these topics is available in the executive summary for the report, and data from all the survey questions is available in the detailed findings.

Business AI Drives the Cloud ERP Future at SapphireJun 5, 2024 — Over the past year, SAP has focused on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to unify data from solutions across the enterprise. This started with generative AI assistant Joule’s announcement and was further developed through the AI Foundation in the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). This year, part of SAP restructuring has been to focus on bringing AI use cases to every solution in the SAP portfolio. At Sapphire 2024, SAP announced multiple new Business AI capabilities that will be integrated throughout SAP’s business applications. This starts with the AI copilot Joule.
SAP anticipates organizations primarily leveraging Joule for many AI use cases, a sentiment fortified by demonstrations across the Sapphire event which showed presenters using Joule for most tasks— from creating summaries of data sets to writing ABAP code. Additionally, SAP has loaded up to two hundred thousand pages of learning content and 2TB of community knowledge into Joule to help 4,000 internal consultants save up to 2 hours each day with tasks like retrieving best practices, project specific recommendations, and writing code. Joule is fast becoming SAP’s vehicle for the AI future.
RISE with SAP may initially have been introduced as a transformation-as-a-service offering, but over the last two years, SAP has downplayed that messaging. This year there is again an increased emphasis on the benefits of transformation when moving to RISE with SAP. During the Sapphire event, it was repeatedly highlighted that customers who completed business and process transformation as part of the move to RISE with SAP are seeing greater benefits than those that have simply completed technical upgrades. When asked about the upcoming 2027 deadline and recommendations for customers that are concerned they are running out of time, Klein specifically said that the answer is RISE with SAP. Klein emphasized that customers moving to RISE with SAP have the opportunity to work with SAP to transition incrementally, one step at a time, rather than having to do everything at once.
Sapphire is about the story that SAP wants to tell. Throughout the event, while SAP consistently acknowledged that each customer is unique and has their own approach to doing business, there was a strong emphasis on business AI embedded in core SAP solutions that are facilitating cloud transformation that organizations need for the future. While Klein assured analysts that “no customer will be left behind” in relation to the upcoming 2027 end of maintenance deadline, he followed up by saying “I would not recommend going down that track”. Klein reiterated that SAP’s continued focus will be on transitioning customers to cloud ERP.
SAPinsiders should ensure that they thoroughly understand what SAP is changing from a product perspective, how they intend to integrate AI into the business core, and whether those capabilities will provide benefits in the future. This will be key to evaluating the benefits of adopting cloud ERP and the technology stack that will bring AI into every aspect of the business. While some of these benefits may be obvious today, others are still to be identified, but SAP will keep focusing on how business AI will drive a future that is powered by cloud ERP.
