As a specialist SAP recruitment agency, we’ve seen first-hand how the right tech can completely transform a business. And let’s face facts—navigating digital transformation is no small feat.
One of the biggest players in the game? RISE with SAP—SAP’s all-in-one package designed to help businesses move to the cloud and level up their operations. But is it the right fit for everyone? Let’s take a look.
What is RISE with SAP?
RISE with SAP is a VIP pass to cloud transformation. Instead of just selling software, SAP bundles up everything you need into one package, including:
SAP S/4HANA Cloud – The brains of the operation, giving businesses a fully integrated, AI-powered ERP system.
SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) – Your go-to for analytics, integrations, and automation.
SAP Business Network Starter Pack – Helps businesses collaborate better with suppliers, customers, and partners.
It’s all about making the move to the cloud less painful—with a single contract, predictable pricing, and SAP doing a lot of the heavy lifting.
Who’s it actually for?
RISE with SAP is ideal for large enterprises and upper-mid-market companies that are serious about digital transformation. If your business is:
✔️ Expanding rapidly and needs a scalable solution
✔️ Looking to streamline operations and automate manual processes
✔️ Big on collaboration and data-driven decision-making
✔️ Ready to go all in on a cloud-based future
…then RISE with SAP might be your best bet.
Pros of RISE with SAP
✅ All-in-one solution – No need to juggle multiple vendors; SAP handles it.
✅ Scalable & flexible – Grows with your business.
✅ Better automation – Cuts down manual work and reduces human error.
Cons of RISE with SAP
❌ Not cheap – A big investment, especially for smaller companies.
❌ Implementation isn’t a walk in the park – You’ll need the right expertise to pull it off.
❌ Integration can get messy – If you’ve got a complex tech stack, expect some heavy lifting.
What if RISE with SAP isn't right for you?
If you’re a smaller business or not ready for a full-blown transformation, there are other options:
GROW with SAP – A simpler, faster cloud ERP setup for smaller businesses that need an easy way to scale.
SAP S/4HANA (Standalone) – If you just need the ERP system without all the extra bells and whistles, this option could work for you.
RISE with SAP is a game-changer—but only if it’s right for your business. Before jumping in, weigh up the pros and cons and get the right people on board to guide the process. The right SAP talent can make all the difference between a smooth transition and an expensive headache.
