Think Velocity and RISE with SAP
Every enterprise has a unique starting point. For all digitally-driven businesses — whether they are early adopters, edge innovators, or established companies — Zensar, together with RISE with SAP, helps enterprises achieve holistic on-your-terms and on-your-timeline transformation into an intelligent enterprise.
However, digital transformation is not just about technology. It’s about identifying opportunities to address human needs through state-of-the-art design and innovation. To survive today, enterprises must evolve from doing digital to being digital, characterized by disruptive capabilities and a digital mindset that deliberately shapes every aspect of the business. Instead of aiming for raw speed, enterprises must then think velocity — speed and direction with purpose.
A new way of working - RISE with SAP, SAP’s new offering, was announced earlier this year. With a mission to simplify digital transformation, RISE with SAP has been described as a bundle of existing SAP assets that provide customers with business transformation-as-a-service under one offer, one contract, and one responsible party for handling issues and SLAs and operations.
The five core elements - RISE with SAP offers business process intelligence and embedded tools and services to drive accelerated business outcomes. It also includes SAP’s flagship products and platforms, such as their Business Technology Platform, Business Network Starter Package, and the S/4HANA Cloud deployment and infrastructure of choice as part of the five core elements in this new offering. These are briefly described below.
Business process intelligence – Provides enterprises with reports and insights into process performance and can pinpoint where and how best to use advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, the internet of things, and robotic process automation to help improve operations.
Embedded tools and services – Allows access to various products and services for technical systems operations, lifecycle management, software support, analytics, and seamless migration from current ERP planning to SAP S/4 HANA.
The infrastructure of choice (SAP data center or hyperscaler) — Delivers benefits from infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) capabilities without data and system lock-in.
SAP Business Network Starter Package – Ensures unified access to the world’s largest business network, including SAP’s suppliers, logistics, and asset intelligence networks that help foster cross-company connections and collaboration.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud deployment model of choice – Includes SAP S/4 HANA public or private cloud deployment.
The transition into an intelligent enterprise - RISE with SAP is not just a new upgrade. The offering is designed to help enterprises remove hassles, stress, and complexities from their journey to transform their business, thus paving the way for enterprises to be where they need to be while rising to every challenge anytime, anywhere. The table below highlights the differences between traditional ERP architectures and RISE with SAP.
