RISE with SAP or Not
Choosing the Right SAP Hosting Solution for Your Business
In 2021, SAP introduced RISE with SAP, a package combining their software, public cloud infrastructure, and operation services. This presents a new option for businesses running SAP systems. However, the decision to migrate to RISE with SAP requires careful consideration.
From “Flexibility and Control” to being locked into the SAP Ecosystem
Many existing SAP installations are highly customized to fit a company’s specific needs. This customization was the key reason many businesses choose SAP in the first place. In addition, most customers integrate and use other software solutions than SAP. A shift to RiseWithSAP means to leave the flexibility to create a solution based on your company requirements and heavily rely on the SAP ecosystem for all your business processes.
Topic/Service | Basis Managed Private Cloud | RISE with SAP |
|---|---|---|
Licenses | The freedom to use SAP perpetual licenses with maintenance you already own. | SAP subscription-based licenses only. You pay a recurring fee for access to the software and services. |
Cost | You pay a fixed monthly amount per system, which includes the flexibility to scale hardware resources up or down at no extra cost. | High cost and discounts are often tied to long subscription contracts, locking you into a specific pricing tier for an extended period. Additionally, credits offered may not always be needed or fully utilized. Hard or impossible to scale up and down. |
Solution control | Agnostic to specific software. You can run all SAP products along with non-SAP software in a single environment. | The core system is anchored in SAP S/4HANA, with feature extensions requiring integration through the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). This architectural choice inherently enforces vendor lock-in within the SAP ecosystem. |
SLA | The SLA comes directly from Basis. We guarantee performance from the datacenter to the SAP application layer. This means Basis is solely responsible for any performance issues within this scope. | Two suppliers govern the SLA: the Hyperscaler manages the underlying cloud infrastructure,
while SAP guarantees the performance of the SAP application software. |
Planned downtime | We offer maximum flexibility to schedule planned downtime, enabling you to coordinate maintenance and updates precisely with your operational requirements. | SAP may schedule maintenance windows that might not perfectly align with your business operations. |
Data storage and processing | Customer data remains within Norway or Germany and data processing is performed from EU locations, with the option to restrict it solely to Norway. We can even offer data processing by consultants with a "Police certificate of conduct," an additional layer of security for highly sensitive data. | Data storage relies on an American cloud provider and data processing is carried out by SAP or SAP's subcontractors |
Lead time for service orders | We prioritize fast reactions to service orders. This ensures your issues are addressed promptly, minimizing downtime and disruptions. | Relying primarily on the standardized SAP OSS (SAP for Me) ticketing system for support can introduce delays. This is compounded by SAP's internal silo structure, where complex issues often require coordinating responses from multiple, specialized teams rather than a single consultant. |
Service and communication | It is possible to collaborate on addressing challenges and jointly find effective solutions. | While the promise of RISE is "one contract, one hand to shake," the reality often involves managing different internal SAP teams and a Hyperscaler partner. |
