SAP-Solution: Rise

The German Federal Employment Agency is relying on RISE with SAP to operate its central payment systems for social benefits on a cloud basis in future. By licensing RISE, the organization is using SAP's private cloud offering in a German SAP data center.
SAP's ERP universe has been opening up in technical and business terms for many years. The black box R/3 has become a composable ERP, which is fed by many SAP cloud services, ERP/ECC 6.0, the new SAP Business Suite and numerous functions from third-party users and hyperscalers. With its expertise, global SAP partner Nagarro brings a methodology to this...
The SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is a strategic PaaS offering designed to help companies develop faster and work more efficiently. But how exactly is it possible to reconcile internal and external requirements?
Slow SAP applications, outages, and risk reduction: ensuring flawless software delivery and meeting rising expectations is more important than ever. Thorough, automated testing should therefore be an integral part of SAP transformation projects.
At the virtual SAP Annual General Meeting in mid-May, CEO Christian Klein explained the entire ERP offering and the BTP and BDC platforms. It was a consistent picture, but S/4 was missing and the flagship product was not mentioned. What now?

We all know and love them: SAP acronyms. Most of them are three letters long. Prominent examples? BDC (Batch Data Communication or new: Business Data Cloud), BTP (Business Technology Platform), or BOM (Bill of Material).

Something essential for SAP customers is sovereignty and control over SAP systems, all with a reliable basis. Thankfully, a good deal has been achieved with SAP Basis automation over the past 20 years. What influence do SAP's cloud strategy and Rise have? Empirius Head of Technology Marcus Bogenstätter explains.
SAP migrations often take longer than expected. It is not for nothing that SAP has extended some maintenance windows. New developments such as automated fit-gap analyses with a downstream factory approach accelerate the transformation.
If a company is willing to give a one hundred percent bonus on paid services to retain a customer, then customers should start thinking about the future.

Working on the SAP basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. 

This gives the Competence Center strategic importance for existing SAP customers. Regardless of the S/4 Hana operating model, topics such as Automation, Monitoring, Security, Application Lifecycle Management and Data Management the basis for S/4 operations.

For the second time, E3 magazine is organizing a summit for the SAP community in Salzburg to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana groundwork.
