Rise with SAP
Sven Denecken, SAP’s head of product success (and its S/4Hana COO) has described it as “the best concierge service you can get for your digital transformation”. “We need to help our customers embrace that change they see today,” he said.
“Transformation is a journey. Every client wants to become a smarter, faster, more agile business, but, of course, they also see that they face challenges today and in the future. This ongoing transformation is what’s happening to businesses. And we know from working with them that they actually agree with those fundamentals. They want to be a smart company. They want to adapt and change. But the key question is how do we get there. And the key demand they make of us is: help us get there.”
“Geopolitical tensions, environmental challenges and the current pandemic are forcing companies to address change faster than ever before,” said Christian Klein, CEO of SAP during the presentation. “Companies that can adapt their business processes quickly will thrive, and SAP can help them do just that. That’s what RISE with SAP is all about – helping customers constantly discover new ways to run cloud businesses to stay ahead of their industry.”
RISE with SAP is a unique offering that provides a path to the Intelligent Enterprise for every customer, regardless of starting point or complexity. It’s offered on a subscription basis with a single point of accountability for service level agreements (SLAs), operations and support. The holistic approach will help companies transform their business, going beyond a technical migration to the cloud to enable continuous transformation.
