Many organizations move to RISE with SAP but continue to operate as if they were on-premises. If your organization's IT is not yet seen as a driver of transformation, you're not alone. And, it's not a technology issue, it's an operating model gap.
SAP customers who tackle technical debt before their transformation, not during it, find themselves dramatically further ahead than their peers. Faster scoping. Fewer surprises. Projects that finish on time and on budget.

Predictions For 2026: Less Apocalypse, More AccountabilityIn 2026, rather than a collapse in cybersecurity, prevailing assumptions about AI, quantum computing, Cloud security, resilience, risk, and accountability will be challenged, revealing vulnerabilities as organizations pivot to address rising expectations and the evolving nature of cyber threats.
From Control to Cloud: How Energy Transfer Chose its Own RISE with SAP PathEnergy Transfer's SAP modernization journey emphasizes a deliberate and controlled approach, successfully integrating a scalable S/4HANA platform alongside strategic acquisitions while carefully evaluating the compatibility and timing of adopting RISE with SAP's Customer Data Center model.
Cloud Architecture for SAPSAPinsiders have been moving to the cloud for over a decade but the transformation process is far from complete. In addition, most organizations take a unique path to the cloud. Some started with a lift and shift of older on-premise systems to infrastructure-as-a-service environments, while others may have directly moved to SAP S/4HANA or even RISE with SAP/SAP Cloud ERP Private. Some started their remediation processes for data and code early, while others have done it following the move to SAP S/4HANA, or even after the move to RISE with SAP. What this has made clear is that, while establishing and maintaining cloud architecture for SAP is on nearly everyone’s roadmap, most organizations are still in the middle of that transition.
What is clear from this data is that leaders have generally made more progress in their adoption of cloud technologies than either cloud beginners or the hybrid majority. However, that is not true in every instance. For example, more than two thirds (69%) of leaders are already using SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), but this is only slightly more than the hybrid majority (60%) or cloud beginners (57%). This difference is more marked with the adoption of SAP S/4HANA Cloud which is being used by 62% of leaders, 51% of the hybrid majority, and only 23% of cloud beginners.
This year's research also explored the cloud or hybrid cloud platforms actively in use in SAP environments, the top priorities for evolving SAP architecture over the next 12-24 months, the impact of adopting cloud or hybrid cloud architecture in transforming SAP workloads, and the challenges encountered when adopting cloud or hybrid cloud architectures for SAP workloads.
The findings indicate that SAPinsiders will not be able to continue to run legacy applications forever. And with the end of 2027 just over two years away, that change will likely come first with the need to move to SAP S/4HANA Cloud through the auspices of a RISE with SAP/SAP Cloud ERP Private contract. SAPinsiders must be prepared for this change, and should follow the guidance of cloud leaders in making this possible.

There’s No Innovation Without AutomationCloud computing provides companies with access to hyper-scale compute and storage without the need for significant budgets or technical expertise. However, the notion that "Cloud is easy" can be misleading. While setting up a cloud environment is straightforward, operating at an enterprise scale is complex. The rapid evolution of tools and services, coupled with the demands of digital transformation, can overwhelm IT teams. Automation is crucial for managing this complexity. It allows IT teams to realize the benefits of cloud migration without excessive operational burdens. Automation enhances agility and quality, enabling faster and more frequent product delivery while ensuring top-notch user experiences. For example, cloud autoscaling capabilities optimize resource use, and automated change management maintains compliance without sacrificing speed. Applying automation to internal systems, like ERP, can also boost performance and reliability. In essence, true cloud innovation requires automation to achieve the necessary agility and operational excellence.
The Downtime DilemmaAchieve near-zero downtime for SAP migrations with meticulous planning, leveraging tools like LCP Migrate to minimize technical disruptions.

Putting the Cloud in your Legacy ApplicationIn the realm of IT strategy, the conversation around legacy systems and the Cloud often centers on migration. However, true transformation lies in making legacy applications more "cloudier" through advanced capabilities like automation and seamless integration. This approach not only optimizes performance and agility but also unlocks the full potential of Cloud-native technologies. Discover how organizations can move beyond basic migration to achieve a robust Cloud operating model, leveraging tools like AI, machine learning, and API gateways for scalable innovation. Embracing these strategies is crucial for CIOs aiming to derive significant business value from their technology investments, ensuring their systems are not just on the Cloud, but truly integrated and agile.
7 Reasons to Think Outside the Large GSI BoxOrganizations are increasingly opting for niche system integrators (SIs) for their cloud implementations due to their specialized expertise and flexibility. Unlike large global system integrators (GSIs) such as Accenture and Deloitte, niche SIs offer deep, focused knowledge and agile solutions tailored to specific needs. By leveraging niche SIs, companies can achieve operational, business process, and market innovation more effectively, ensuring competitive advantage in the fast-evolving cloud landscape.
5 Ways Enterprise Cloud Migration Improves SustainabilityMigrating legacy applications to the Cloud is a sustainable and cost-effective solution for businesses. Cloud providers like Microsoft Azure boast data centers that are 93% more energy-efficient than traditional on-premises alternatives. This efficiency is due to economies of scale, with Cloud data centers housing tens of thousands of servers supported by shared, more efficient power and cooling systems. Additionally, major Cloud providers can source cleaner energy from wind and solar more reliably and affordably than most private enterprises. Cloud services also offer efficiency through serverless computing, reducing energy consumption. By moving to the Cloud, businesses can repurpose their data center space for new uses, reducing the need for additional construction. Embracing the Cloud not only supports sustainability but also enhances agility and cost savings.
