Cloud & RISE
What is RISE with SAP?
SAP's subscription offering bundling cloud ERP, infrastructure, technical managed services, and tools under one contract.
RISE typically includes S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition or Public Edition, BTP credits, Signavio, and SAP-managed operations on a hyperscaler. SAP takes over technical operations, but customers keep responsibility for functional testing and many application tasks. The roles and responsibilities document defines the split.
