Upgrade your SAP ERP to SAP S/4HANA RISE with Microsoft Cloud, a joint offering that provides a seamless and secure transition to the cloud on your terms.

RISE with SAP and Microsoft Cloud is the result of a 30+ year partnership between SAP and Microsoft, who have been partners and mutual customers for years. Through these years of collaboration, they have developed a partnership for Business Transformation-as-a-Service, built on future-forward solutions prioritising security, usability, and ease of migration.

In this blog, we explore some of the benefits of RISE with SAP and Microsoft Cloud, as well as how you can leverage this trusted partnership and unique combined offering to streamline your ERP migration.

Microsoft is the preferred cloud platform for RISE with SAP, offering 60+ SAP BTP services and the broadest set of connectors and APIs. With Microsoft Azure, businesses can accelerate innovation and integration in the cloud, without sacrificing security, performance, or reliability.

Key benefits

Rise with SAP

One of the key benefits of RISE with SAP and Microsoft Cloud is the enhanced security that it provides. You can boost your security posture and ensure business continuity during and after migration with multilayered cloud security solutions. You can also enable continuous monitoring of your SAP systems to detect threats, automate threat responses, and protect identities using single sign-on and multifactor authentication for SAP and non-SAP apps.

Another benefit is the productivity and efficiency you can gain by integrating SAP solutions with Microsoft applications and cloud technology. Microsoft offers the most comprehensive cloud platform for SAP integrations, combining industry-leading applications and cloud technology with decades of experience in developing solutions for virtually every business vertical.

Some of the ways you can drive productivity and efficiency with RISE with SAP and Microsoft Cloud are:

-    Increase employee productivity by integrating Microsoft 365 and Copilot for M365 with SAP solutions. This way, you can enable seamless collaboration, communication, and copilot experiences across your SAP and non-SAP applications.

-    Improve SAP developer efficiency and enable fast innovation using GitHub Copilot. This is an AI-powered coding assistant that helps you write code faster and better by suggesting lines or entire functions for your code.

-    Eliminate manual tasks using SAP connectors in the Microsoft Copilot Studio to build your own copilot experiences. You can use natural language to create workflows, chatbots, forms, and more for your SAP and non-SAP applications.

-    Automate business processes by integrating SAP BTP with low-code solutions by Microsoft and Copilot for Power Platform. You can use drag-and-drop tools to create apps, workflows, dashboards, and reports that connect your SAP and non-SAP data and systems.

Additionally, RISE with SAP and Microsoft Cloud enables you to use cloud-scale analytics to transform data into real-time intelligence. You can extract rich insights from your data with AI-powered cloud-scale analytics, and, with intuitive data visualisation tools, reporting services and unified governance in the cloud, you can power business decisions and ensure data integrity for your SAP and non-SAP data.
