RISE with SAP is SAP's business-transformation-as-a-service offering: a modern cloud ERP core packaged with tools, services, methodology, and ecosystem support under a single contract and SLA, for companies moving from legacy on-premises ERP or building a cloud-first, clean-core future.

This ETS overview covers the core components — SAP ERP Cloud (Public or Private), SAP Business Technology Platform, business process intelligence with SAP Signavio, SAP Business Network and Industry Cloud, and hyperscaler or SAP-managed infrastructure — and the guided six-phase transformation methodology from readiness assessment through go-live and continuous innovation.

It then maps who RISE is for (SAP ECC customers, cloud-first enterprises, complex multi-entity organizations, and innovation-driven businesses) and the benefits: agility and clean-core upgradability, CapEx-to-OpEx cost predictability, innovation and growth enablement, risk mitigation, faster time-to-value, standardization, better analytics, and scalability — framed as the value points that matter to the CFO, CEO/COO, and CIO.

The full deck is available above as a PDF. ETS helps organizations plan and execute their RISE with SAP journey.
