  • SAP

RISE with SAP bundles SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, infrastructure and technical managed services under one SAP contract. Your company still owns the application layer: configuration, custom code, integrations, testing and user support. The Silicon Partners (TSP) helps you assess RISE, migrate to it, and run that application layer after go-live.

Under RISE with SAP, what does SAP run and what do we still own?

SAP runs the technical layer: infrastructure, the database, operating systems and core technical operations, under its own service levels. Your company owns the application: how S/4HANA is configured, your custom code, integrations, data, testing and user support. Most companies hand that application layer to a partner like TSP.

  3. Prepare

Is RISE with SAP worth it for us?

RISE suits companies that want SAP to run infrastructure and technical operations, prefer one contract and subscription pricing, and plan to keep their core close to standard. It’s a weaker fit if you need full control over hosting and upgrade timing, or your current hosting already runs well at a lower cost. TSP tests both cases against your system in Phase 0.

FAQ

Questions about RISE with SAP

Straight answers to what SAP leaders ask us most.

Talk to an SAP expert

Is RISE with SAP the same as S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition?

RISE with SAP is the package; SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition is the ERP inside it. The package also includes hosting on a hyperscaler, SAP’s technical managed services and SAP tools for process analysis, all under one subscription.

We’re already on RISE with SAP. Can TSP help?

Yes. TSP takes on the application layer alongside SAP’s technical operations: support, enhancements, clean core work and testing for each update SAP rolls out. See SAP AMS.

Does RISE with SAP include application management?

Generally, no. SAP’s technical managed services cover infrastructure and core technical operations. Functional support, custom code, integrations and user support stay with your company or your partner.

Can we keep our custom code on RISE with SAP?

Yes. Private Edition supports custom code and extensions. RISE does encourage a clean core, so a migration is the right moment to retire unused code and move some extensions off the core.

Which cloud does RISE with SAP run on?

RISE with SAP typically runs on a hyperscaler, such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, depending on your region, with SAP managing the environment for you.
