RISE with SAP

Move Your Business to the Cloud — One Contract, Full Transformation

What Is RISE with SAP?

RISE with SAP is SAP's comprehensive 'Business Transformation as a Service' offer. It brings together SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP Signavio Process Intelligence, and SAP Business Network Starter Pack under a single subscription contract. Customers choose their preferred hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, GCP, or SAP's own data centres), while SAP assumes full responsibility for system setup, updates, and maintenance.

One of RISE with SAP's greatest advantages is that it makes the risk and cost of complex ERP projects manageable under one umbrella. The high infrastructure, licensing, and maintenance costs of traditional on-premise ERP are replaced by a predictable annual subscription model. Given that SAP ECC mainstream maintenance ends in 2027, RISE with SAP has become a strategic imperative for businesses.

Julvera is your partner at every stage of the RISE with SAP journey — from readiness assessment and target architecture design to implementation, migration, and post-go-live optimisation. The process starts with SAP Readiness Check and proceeds with a transformation roadmap tailored to your organisation.
