What is 'RISE with SAP'?

RISE with SAP is a commercial construct developed by SAP in 2021 to bundle historically separate contracts for the SAP ERP solution stack and services required to run them.

Packaged by SAP as 'Business Transformation as a Service', RISE with SAP provides a single contract for Software, Support, Infrastructure and Technical Managed Services, underpinned by various technical tools, services and resources to support and simplify SAP customers' migration path to SAP S/4HANA.

RISE with SAP offers both private cloud or public cloud deployment models, base or premium. Since 2023, SAP has also released GROW with SAP, targeted at net-new, mid-market customers. Separate agreements govern program management, migration, implementation and Application Management Services (AMS).
