The global and independent platform for the SAP community.

Rise with Hyperscaler

If you are serious about digital transformation, don't wait for SAP to revive the Leonardo program and present the fifth no-code/low-code development platform after Mendix, Ruum, Signavio and AppGyver.

As the DSAG user association noted a few years ago, a good foundation for digital conversion can also be created with Business Suite 7 and AnyDB. And the rest? The hyperscalers have upgraded: Over the past few years, Microsoft, Google and AWS have transformed themselves from infrastructure service providers to innovators.

Assuming the necessary knowledge, IIoT, AI/ML, blockchain, edge computing and many other challenges can be solved quite excellently with the tools and services of the hyperscalers. And because SAP very consistently follows the OData model (Open Data Protocol), consolidated data traffic between the applications is ensured.

As a reminder: SAP Data Hub is dead, OData - the best way to rest (say the insiders). Thus, "Rise" also has its justification in the SAP community, just not as Rise with SAP, but as Rise with Hyperscaler.

SAP is and remains the vital back office with ERP, HR, SCM and CRM - probably better on-prem, otherwise in the cloud with Salesforce, Workday and others. Rise with Hyperscaler does not satisfy SAP's claim to omnipotence, but it is a new approach to digital transformation.

Because still SAP can not explain with SurpRISE: What's new? The digitization concept has been given a new coat of paint by SAP, but it hardly differs from Run Simple, Embrace or Conversion. Better to go straight to Rise with Hyperscaler.
