  PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

  Change has always been part of business, but todays environment forces us to deal with change both good and bad faster than ever before. New technologies are changing how we live and work, and COVID, climate change, and geopolitical tensions expose how fragile our world is. Only companies that can adapt quickly will thrive. You need to work more agile, more intelligently, and more efficiently to point out new ways. And doing so takes more than just a technical migration to the cloud.

  A holistic business transformation is about changing the whole culture and mindset of an enterprise. Its about redesigning your business processes. Its about adopting new technologies to unlock new ways of running your business and stay ahead of your industry. To truly transform your business at your speed and terms, you need more than Infrastructure-as-a-Service or Software-as-a-Service. You need a holistic offering. What you really need is Business Transformation-as-a-Service.

  RISE with SAP brings together everything you need to transform your business in the way that works best for you regardless of your point of departure or how fast you want to move.
