Rise with SAP: The solution for efficient cloud migration

Why migrate to the cloud? Is RISE with SAP the answer?

Digital transformation has driven companies to adopt technological solutions, not only to optimize their processes, but because the integration of systems such as ERP has become a norm in the modern business environment. Organizations that don't implement these solutions risk falling behind the competition.

The competitive advantage now lies in adopting systems that not only take advantage of the latest technologies, but also adapt efficiently to business processes. One of the reasons for migrating is the end of life of SAP ECC, making it essential to upgrade to a more advanced system. Therefore, migrating to the cloud to cutting-edge systems such as SAP S/4HANA should be a strategic priority.

In addition, compared to traditional on-premise systems, the cloud is presented as a more attractive alternative for the migration of ERP systems and other business tools. Why? Here are some key reasons:

• Cloud deployment is, on average, faster than in a traditional data center.
• The responsibility for updating and securing systems lies with the vendor, relieving the company of that burden.
• Costs associated with maintaining physical infrastructure are reduced.
• Access to system information from any device and location.
• System updates can be made in real-time, improving operational efficiency.
• The cloud provides greater scalability and flexibility to deploy or scale down functionalities according to business needs.

This entire process of migrating ERP systems and digital tools culminates in the creation of the "intelligent enterprise", the last step in the digital evolution of an organization. To facilitate and accelerate this journey, RISE with SAP offers an end-to-end solution, centered on SAP S/4HANA ERP. But how does it do it?
