SAP is currently making changes across multiple areas simultaneously.
Business AI, cloud ERP, and new usage-based cost and licensing models all influence architecture, operations, licensing costs, and contract terms in equal measure.
The real risk lies in the interplay between these factors.
Many companies evaluate the cloud, Business AI, licensing, and contract terms separately. As a result, the consequences often don’t become apparent until contracts have already been signed or transformation projects are already underway.
Typical consequences include:
You’ll receive a solid foundation for making decisions regarding Business AI, cloud ERP, licensing, and contract drafting.
… a solid foundation for SAP investments, cloud transformations, and contract decisions.
We view Business AI, architecture, licensing, and commercial terms as part of a holistic picture.
This allows us to improve predictability, reduce risks, and strengthen your ability to act effectively in dealings with SAP and other market participants.
Choosing the Right Path Between RISE, GROW, and Business AI
RISE with SAP, GROW with SAP, and Business AI influence the future direction of your SAP landscape in terms of architecture, operating model, costs, and contract terms. You’ll gain clarity on the implications for architecture, data strategy, operating model, and costs, enabling you to align your SAP roadmap with a solid foundation.
It’s important to note: RISE and GROW are commercial programs, not standalone products—the technical foundation is provided by SAP Cloud ERP Private (RISE) and SAP Cloud ERP Public (GROW). Together, RISE, GROW, and Business AI form the framework for the further development of modern SAP landscapes.
Choosing the Right Cloud Model
The choice between SAP Cloud ERP Public and Private shapes processes, integrations, customization options, and costs for many years to come. You’ll gain clarity on which cloud model fits your requirements and what the resulting economic implications are.
Accurately Interpret SAP DDA Results
The SAP Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA) provides an important and structured foundation for selecting the right cloud model. You receive an independent evaluation of the results, identify potential scope risks early on, ensure accurate budget planning, and strengthen the robustness of your decision.
Identify Licensing Risks Early and Better Control Costs
Digital Access, Indirect Access, Named User, and legacy licensing structures often harbor risks that only become apparent during audits or contract negotiations. You create transparency regarding costs, risks, and optimization potential, and reduce the risk of unexpected additional charges.
Thoroughly Prepare for and Negotiate SAP Contracts
Contract renewals, renegotiations, consumption models, and AI Units have a long-term impact on the economic development of your SAP landscape. You strengthen your negotiating position through a solid understanding of usage, costs, risks, and room for maneuver. Our strength lies in combining expertise in architecture, licensing, and contracts.
Whether it's SAP Business AI, cloud ERP, SAP DDA, licensing strategy, or contract negotiations: Let's work together to assess which options and risks are relevant to your company.
