SAP has announced a program to help customers move to the cloud and maintain the pace and level of innovation it delivers.

On the 30th, SAP announced 'RISE with SAP Migration and Modernization' to support customers' cloud operations.

This program addresses two challenges businesses face when migrating to the cloud: scope and cost. It eliminates custom code, data silos, and process complexity, enabling even complex ERP systems to be migrated to the cloud.

The program helps customers benefit from ongoing updates. As customers begin operating in the cloud, SAP eases the administrative burden of establishing reliability, strengthening security and compliance, and unlocking the potential of business data. Whether it's SAP ERP Central Components (SAP ECC) or SAP S/4HANA, the program's unique digital experience and support services help customers navigate from preparation to actual operation. We also offer new services and incentives to help you implement Rise with SAP solutions.

“Every company needs a cloud-first business strategy,” said Eric van Rossum, chief marketing officer for SAP Cloud ERP. “Now is the time for our customers to begin their journey to the cloud and modernize so they can capitalize on the innovation potential, including AI and sustainability solutions, that modern cloud can deliver.”

“With today’s announcement, SAP makes it clear that it inherently understands the complex challenges its customers face when moving to the cloud, while also acknowledging the investments they have made in their existing systems,” said Christine Grimm, Member of the Board of Management of the SAP User Group (DSAG) in Germany. “By including financial incentives and support in Rise with SAP, SAP is demonstrating its commitment to providing customers with even more proactive support on their journey to the cloud and making it easier to complete it.”

DSAG also stated, "We highly value the new programs and commitment SAP is offering, and we will work with SAP to further enhance and expand them to address the complex requirements and challenges faced during the cloud migration process. This will ensure that customers benefit from the opportunities and innovations offered by Rise with SAP."
