Description

RISE with SAP represents a revolutionary shift in how enterprises approach digital transformation, cloud adoption, and business innovation. This comprehensive course provides an expert-level journey into the strategic, technical, and operational dimensions of RISE, SAP’s bundled transformation-as-a-service offering. Starting with a deep dive into “What is RISE with SAP,” the course outlines its four key pillars—Realize, Innovate, Sustain, and Enhance—and explores the history and market forces that led to its 2021 launch. Learners will analyze SAP’s vision for addressing cloud transformation gaps and compare RISE with “GROW with SAP” to distinguish enterprise and SME positioning.Through in-depth sessions, participants will explore the architecture of SAP S/4HANA Cloud in both Public and Private Editions, the foundational role of the Business Technology Platform (BTP), and the power of Business Process Intelligence (BPI) and SAP Business Network components like Ariba, Asset Intelligence, and Logistics. Embedded AI, machine learning, and RPA are dissected to show how automation enhances ERP operations. Critical comparisons are made between functionality, flexibility, and extensibility models, including Steampunk and side-by-side development. The course explains deployment decision factors, real-world industry use cases, and SAP’s migration strategy from ECC or non-SAP systems using new implementation, system conversion, or selective data transition paths.Learners will gain clarity on security and compliance via the shared responsibility model, 24/7 monitoring, patching, and adherence to GDPR, DORA, and NIST-CSF standards. Tool-based execution with the Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA), Signavio, SAP ALM, and Launchpad are demonstrated alongside governance mechanisms like Q-Gates. Emphasis is also placed on partner-led services, hyperscaler collaboration, licensing, and the Activate methodology phases—Prepare, Explore, Realize, and Deploy—guiding transformation with clean core principles. This course empowers professionals to master RISE with SAP from architecture to adoption.
