SAP on Cloud and RISE

Running SAP in the cloud changes how the enterprise consumes, scales and innovates on its digital core. We help you choose the right cloud model, including RISE with SAP and deployment on major hyperscalers, and build cloud native extensions on SAP BTP so your SAP landscape is flexible, resilient and ready to evolve.

Move and run SAP in the cloud, including RISE with SAP, hyperscaler deployment and SAP BTP based innovation.

The business challenge

Cloud decisions for SAP are consequential and easy to get wrong. The choice between a subscription model such as RISE, a self managed hyperscaler deployment and a hybrid landscape affects cost, control, responsibility and flexibility for years, yet it is often made on vendor messaging rather than analysis.

Moving to the cloud without a clean core strategy simply relocates complexity. Heavy customization and point to point integrations follow the system into the cloud, undermining the agility that motivated the move and making every future update as painful as before.

Our approach

We assess your landscape, commercial preferences and operating model to recommend the cloud approach that genuinely fits, whether RISE with SAP, a hyperscaler deployment or a hybrid. The recommendation weighs cost, control and responsibility honestly rather than defaulting to a single option.

We pair the move with a clean core and extension strategy on SAP BTP so complexity does not travel with the system. Innovation and integration live outside the core as cloud native services, keeping the digital core standard, upgradable and able to adopt new capability continuously.

Frequently asked questions

Is RISE with SAP the right choice for us?

It depends on your appetite for a subscription model and managed responsibility. We assess it against hyperscaler and hybrid options on cost, control and fit.

Does moving to cloud require a clean core?

It should. Without one, customization and complexity follow the system to the cloud and undermine the agility you were seeking.

Can we run SAP on a specific hyperscaler?

Yes. We deploy and operate SAP across major hyperscalers and design the architecture to fit your requirements.

How does SAP BTP fit a cloud strategy?

SAP BTP hosts extensions, integration and innovation outside the core, keeping the digital core clean while new capability is added continuously.
