SAP S/4HANA PRIVATE CLOUD

What is Rise with SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud?

RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private cloud edition, is a comprehensive offering from SAP designed to help organizations transition to an intelligent enterprise. It bundles SAP’s ERP system, S/4HANA, with other services into a subscription-based package, offering flexibility, scalability, and cloud capabilities. Here’s a brief overview of its key components:

Key Components:

    1. SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition:
    This is the main ERP system, running on the S/4HANA platform, tailored for businesses that need the flexibility of the cloud but prefer dedicated, isolated environments (private cloud) for their operations.

    2. Business Process Intelligence (BPI):
    RISE includes tools for analyzing, optimizing, and transforming business processes. BPI helps customers streamline processes using industry best practices and data-driven insights.

    3. Technical and Infrastructure Services:
    SAP provides managed infrastructure (IaaS) services that can be hosted on cloud hyperscalers like Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This ensures that organizations don’t need to manage the underlying infrastructure.

    4. SAP Business Network:
    This includes tools for managing business collaborations and supply chains with industry partners.

    5. SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP):
    A collection of technologies, such as database management, data integration, analytics, and AI that enables innovation and the development of new solutions.

    6. SAP S/4HANA Cloud Infrastructure and Support:
    SAP handles the technical operations, upgrades, and infrastructure management. Customers can choose their preferred hosting provider while controlling their specific ERP configuration.

Benefits of RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Cloud Edition:

  • Customization Flexibility: Unlike the public cloud edition, the private cloud version allows for more customizations and configurations that suit specific business needs.
  • Subscription-Based Model: Organizations pay for the service on a subscription basis, which often reduces the upfront capital expenditure compared to traditional on-premise systems.
  • Faster Time to Value: By integrating business process intelligence, best practices, and cloud infrastructure, businesses can quickly derive value from their digital transformation efforts.
  • Reduced Complexity: Since SAP manages the infrastructure and technical operations, it reduces the burden on IT teams and simplifies the landscape.
  • Scalability and Agility: The private cloud edition supports growth with scalability and the flexibility to evolve business processes as needed.
  • Compliance and Security: The private cloud environment can be tailored to meet industry-specific regulatory and security requirements.

Why choose Rise with SAP S/4HANA, Private Cloud?

Choosing RISE with SAP S/4HANA, Private Cloud Edition offers a range of strategic benefits for organizations looking to modernize their ERP infrastructure while maintaining control and customization. Here are the key reasons to choose RISE with SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud:

1. Flexibility in Customization and Control

  • Tailored ERP System: Unlike the public cloud option, the private cloud edition allows businesses to retain more flexibility for customization. This is crucial for organizations with unique processes or industry-specific needs.
  • Control over Environment: The private cloud provides more control over the system landscape, allowing businesses to manage custom configurations, integrate legacy systems, and choose when to apply updates or enhancements.

2. Dedicated, Isolated Infrastructure

  • Private Cloud Security: Organizations get dedicated infrastructure, ensuring that resources are not shared with other companies. This offers enhanced data isolation and security, essential for companies with strict compliance requirements.
  • Compliance and Governance: Industries like finance, healthcare, and government sectors often have regulatory and data residency needs that a private cloud environment is better equipped to meet.

3. Managed Cloud Services

  • Lower IT Burden: SAP handles technical management, such as upgrades, patches, and infrastructure maintenance. This reduces the load on internal IT teams, allowing them to focus on more strategic tasks.
  • Subscription-Based Model: RISE with SAP is offered as a subscription, reducing capital expenditure on hardware and shifting costs to an operational model (OpEx). This approach provides predictable pricing for IT infrastructure and ERP systems.

4. Cloud Scalability and Agility

  • Scalable Infrastructure: As business needs grow or fluctuate, the private cloud edition offers the scalability to add resources or modify workloads without needing to procure and manage additional hardware.
  • Agility in Innovation: The private cloud environment provides a platform for quickly adapting and innovating with cloud technologies, including AI, machine learning, and analytics.

5. Single Contract and Responsibility

  • Simplified Contracting: RISE with SAP includes the infrastructure, technical services, software, and support under one single contract, simplifying procurement and vendor management.
  • End-to-end Accountability: SAP takes full accountability for managing the system’s infrastructure, services, and updates, reducing complexity in handling multiple vendors and partners.

6. Seamless Cloud Transition for Existing SAP Users

  • Preserve Existing Investments: For existing SAP users, RISE with SAP Private Cloud offers a way to transition from on-premise systems to the cloud without discarding years of custom configurations, industry-specific solutions, or third-party integrations.
  • Hybrid Cloud Support: Businesses can implement hybrid models, combining on-premise and cloud environments, which is helpful for organizations not ready to commit to the cloud fully but seeking to gain cloud-based agility.

7. Business Process Transformation and Intelligence

  • Business Process Intelligence: RISE with SAP includes tools that help organizations understand and optimize their current business processes, making it easier to identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement.
  • Benchmarking and Best Practices: SAP offers access to industry best practices and benchmarking tools, helping businesses standardize operations and adopt proven models.

8. Support for Innovation and Digital Transformation

  • Future-Proof Platform: The SAP S/4HANA platform, integrated with the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), supports cutting-edge innovations like AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics. Businesses can harness these technologies to stay competitive and adapt to industry changes.
  • Streamlined Innovation: With RISE, businesses can more easily adopt new SAP innovations as they are released without worrying about infrastructure constraints.

9. Global Hyperscaler Flexibility

  • Choice of Hosting Providers: RISE with SAP Private Cloud is compatible with leading hyperscaler platforms like Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. This gives businesses flexibility in choosing where to host their systems while receiving managed services from SAP.
  • Global Reach and Availability: Hosting on a global hyperscaler ensures that businesses can operate with high availability, disaster recovery options, and performance across different regions.

10. Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

  • Cost Efficiency: RISE with SAP provides a more cost-effective route for modernizing ERP infrastructure than managing an on-premise system or building custom cloud environments. Businesses save on upfront costs, ongoing maintenance, and the need to invest in new hardware.
