Launched in January 2021, RISE with 麻豆原创 is 麻豆原创鈥檚 offering to help companies seize the advantages of cloud computing in their mission-critical, core systems. But cloud computing is nothing new. 麻豆原创 have been leading in the cloud arena for many years with line-of-business (LOB) solutions such as 麻豆原创 Ariba for sourcing and procurement and 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors for . So, what is RISE with 麻豆原创, and what is the big deal?
Why has 麻豆原创 launched RISE with 麻豆原创?
RISE with 麻豆原创 is about modernising ERP and accelerating innovation for the digital era.
ERP has been around for three decades. It has been enormously successful, initially adopted by large organisations but now relied upon by companies of all sizes, in all industries. However, the mindsets and architectures that underpin much of the global ERP installed base (not just 麻豆原创 but many other brands), may no longer be fit-for-purpose in the fast-paced digital world. Yesterday鈥檚 ERP architecture and implementations stem from a very different era:
- The economy and supply chains were not globalised to the extent they are today
- There was no mobile computing
- The Internet was in its infancy
- Integration standards and methods were clunky
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) was yet to emerge from its second winter and Big Data was uncommon
- In-memory computing was not economically viable
- Cloud computing, as we know it today did not exist.
Today鈥檚 world is very different and the demand for innovation has been dramatically accelerated by:
- Globalisation and geopolitics
- Venture capital enabling digital start-ups to scale new business models very quickly
- Technological advances 鈥� typified by Moore鈥檚 Law
- The global pandemic 鈥� especially WFH and the way it highlighted supply chain vulnerabilities
- The sustainability agenda
- Increasing regulatory requirements
- Generational change in the workforce.
RISE with 麻豆原创 drives innovation in key business processes
These changes amount to a major inflection point for businesses. RISE with 麻豆原创 is 麻豆原创鈥檚 response to our customers鈥� need to accelerate their innovation and transformation. This is accomplished by modernising their ERP backbone at the same time as seizing the multiple benefits of cloud computing. Furthermore, for companies that customised their ERP systems to the extent that they cut themselves off from effective innovation in the heart of their business, RISE with 麻豆原创 offers a path back to a clean core based on best practices.

What are the benefits of RISE with 麻豆原创?
The benefits of RISE with 麻豆原创 focus on business innovation, transformation and IT modernisation and will be unique to each organisation. A RISE with 麻豆原创 engagement identifies and quantifies these benefits in a robust business case for each customer. That said, these are some of the benefits that customers can anticipate:
- Improved business processes. Many customers are burdened by the complexity and technical debt that comes from customising and augmenting their old ERP systems. Despite these efforts, business processes are still disjointed, opaque and overly manual. It鈥檚 a bit like trying to add airbags, seatbelt pretensioners and cruise control to an old motor car. 麻豆原创 S/4HANA has been completely re-architected to take advantage of digital era technologies. 聽As a result, companies can drive higher productivity through process automation and the elimination of batch jobs. They can also derive better insights through embedded analytics on more granular data and maintain happier users through consumer-grade user experiences.
- Accelerated innovation. By exploiting the innovations already embedded in 麻豆原创 S/4HANA, such as AI and robotic process automation, and enhancing these with the 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform (also part of RISE with 麻豆原创), companies can accelerate their pace of digital innovation. Furthermore, by reducing or eliminating customisations, and by moving to the cloud, it becomes easier to adopt and consume the benefits of 麻豆原创鈥檚 research and development investments across the products that make up the RISE with 麻豆原创 offering (鈧�45 billion in 2020).
- Making better use of scarce resources. The war for talent is real and at the same time many of the ERP professionals who laid down the existing systems are heading for retirement. By moving to RISE with 麻豆原创, where 麻豆原创 takes on the technical managed services associated with running ERP, companies can pivot their IT resources from running IT to focusing on the application of services to drive transformation and business progress.
- A closer relationship with 麻豆原创. Many customers want a closer relationship with the vendor whose software runs their mission-critical processes. RISE with 麻豆原创 delivers this because, 麻豆原创 assumes much greater accountability for the customer鈥檚 landscape and shows up every day in the customer鈥檚 business – not just running the systems but actively guiding improvements and ensuring that business value is being realised.
- Innovation without upfront IT costs. Because RISE with 麻豆原创 is a cloud solution, it brings the benefits of accessing digital business capabilities like 麻豆原创 S/4HANA and the 麻豆原创 Business Network without upfront capex on infrastructure and licenses.
- Simplicity to focus on what matters. Companies can move to the cloud on a piecemeal basis, buying compute, storage, database, and operating system services as needed. However, then they must manage the complexity associated with governance, security, SLAs, consumption and so forth. Also, while a technical 鈥渓ift and shift鈥� approach may deliver some benefits to the IT department, it typically does not have a significant impact on the business. In their 2021 report, 鈥�鈥� McKinsey pointed out that $1 trillion value will be enabled by adopting cloud by 2030 and that 鈥渁lmost all of that value comes from business innovation and optimization rather than IT cost reduction.鈥� RISE with 麻豆原创 folds business and architectural value into a single contract, a guided journey and relationship where 麻豆原创 is more accountable. This simplicity means that IT professionals can focus on higher value activities that move their company forward to capture their share of that $1 trillion.
