The move to S/4HANA Cloud is no longer optional, yet every required decision sits in a different corner of the organization. Infrastructure is one discussion. Licensing is another. Process redesign is a third. Integration planning has its own timeline. Each part depends on the others, but none of them move together. This is the point where transformation slows, not because of technology, but because the operating model of the project has no single structure.

RISE with SAP introduces that structure. It gathers the essential components of S/4HANA Cloud adoption into one subscription model with a defined scope and a predictable delivery framework. The program does not simplify the business processes themselves. It simplifies the environment in which those processes are modernized. Executives gain one contract, one operational baseline, and one upgrade path instead of a series of disconnected initiatives. This reduces coordination overhead and establishes a controlled space for the transformation effort.

The subscription includes four core elements:

S/4HANA Cloud: The central ERP system delivered as subscription software.
SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP): The environment for integrations, extensions, and event-driven processes.
SAP Process Discovery: Process analysis and modeling tools used to evaluate and redesign current workflows.
Infrastructure (IaaS): A hyperscaler of choice, with technical operations coordinated through SAP.

This unified structure gives organizations a single contractual framework for software, infrastructure, and platform services, which reduces the number of independent workstreams required to launch the transition.

You are planning the move from SAP ECC

Your legacy system is stable but has a defined end-of-support date. You require a structured, vendor-managed path to SAP S/4HANA. RISE provides the definitive technical bundle for this migration, shifting the infrastructure management burden to SAP.

You are committed to a cloud operating model

Your IT strategy mandates a shift from capital expenditure to operational expenditure. You intend to exit the business of managing data centers and hardware. The subscription includes the cloud infrastructure and its management, aligning with this financial and operational goal.

You need a controlled, customizable cloud environment

Your business processes rely on specific, stable customizations that a public cloud edition cannot support. The Private Cloud option within RISE allows for these extensions, while still providing the managed service framework and unified contract for the program.

25-30%

lower total cost of ownership

Many organizations reduce infrastructure and operational costs by moving to the subscription model. The program combines software, infrastructure, and technical operations into one contract. This consolidation limits parallel spending and simplifies budgeting.

embedded and side-by-side AI scenarios

S/4HANA Cloud and SAP BTP provide access to hundreds of AI-driven use cases. These scenarios support tasks such as invoice matching, anomaly detection, and demand forecasting. They are built into the platform and maintained through regular updates.

99.9%

Our RISE with SAP Services

LeverX delivers end-to-end services to guide organizations through assessment, migration, implementation, integration, and ongoing management of RISE with SAP.

RISE with SAP consulting

Strategic questions arise before, during, and after go-live. We provide targeted expertise on process optimization, change management, and roadmap planning. Our consulting turns platform capabilities into actionable business improvements.

RISE with SAP assessment

Choosing between public or private cloud is a foundational decision with long-term consequences. We analyze your existing customizations, compliance needs, and IT strategy. Our assessment provides a clear recommendation for the optimal RISE edition and hyperscaler to support your specific transformation goals.

RISE with SAP migration

Moving data from a legacy ERP is a high-risk operation. We design and execute a structured migration. Our process focuses on data cleansing, mapping, and validation to ensure business continuity and integrity in the new S/4HANA Cloud environment.

RISE with SAP implementation

This subscription provides a standard system. We configure it to run your unique business. Our implementation defines your operational processes within the cloud ERP, from procurement and manufacturing to financial closing, ensuring that the platform supports your daily work.

RISE with SAP managed services

Once live, the system requires consistent oversight. We provide proactive monitoring, performance management, and release update coordination. Our managed services maintain system health and stability, allowing your team to focus on business operations, not IT operations.

RISE with SAP integration

ERP modernization only succeeds if systems work together. LeverX connects S/4HANA Cloud with BTP services, external platforms, and existing IT landscape components. We design and execute integration scenarios that maintain process continuity and data consistency across your enterprise.

Expertise in public and private cloud editions

The choice between cloud editions impacts customization, cost, and control. We have implemented both RISE deployment models. Our experience provides a fact-based framework for your foundational decision.

Certified SAP partner

Our partnership status is validated by SAP. It signifies proven competency in the program's specific methodology and tools. This formal accreditation reduces execution risk for your transition.

Deep knowledge of BTP and Clean Core principles

Extensions are inevitable, but technical debt is optional. Our architects design integrations and custom applications on the SAP Business Technology Platform. We adhere to clean core principles to protect your system’s upgradability and performance.

Experience with all major hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP)

The infrastructure layer is a choice, not a constraint. We have delivered projects on each available hyperscaler within the RISE program. We can align the technical architecture with your existing cloud strategy or security standards.

Global scale and delivery capacity

Your project requires resources, not just advice. We maintain a team of over 2,200 professionals across global locations. This capacity supports multi-country rollouts and provides consistent 24/7 operational support.

Proprietary implementation accelerators

Data migration and testing are major project cost centers. We apply proprietary tools like DataLark to automate and accelerate these phases. This methodology reduces manual effort, project timeline, and total implementation cost.

Focus on measurable TCO reduction and ROI

A successful implementation is defined by business metrics. We configure processes and analytics to target specific outcomes, such as reduced inventory-carrying costs or improved order cycle times. Our goal is to quantify the return on your RISE subscription.

Industry-specific process design

An ERP must reflect how your business works. Our consultants possess deep operational knowledge in manufacturing, retail, pharmaceuticals, and logistics. We configure S/4HANA Cloud to model your unique value chain, not just generic workflows.

“A great partner that goes the extra mile to accommodate the customer/company”

A great partner that goes the extra mile to accommodate the customer/company. They can accomplish what is needed to move their business forward. No question is too much for LeverX. They’ve been a great resource for any area of SAP. What I like about LeverX is that I don’t think there is any question that is too much for them. We bounced a lot of things off them that might not appear in their wheelhouse, but a lot of times they have answers just because of their experience and knowledge. We found them to be a great resource to bounce things off and get ideas even if they might not be specific to PLM. When you are out of time and have limited resources, LeverX has your solution. LeverX is a big bang for your buck that will bring in a lot of knowledge at one time to check off all the boxes.

“They are an important part of our strategic Team and we enjoy working with them every day!”

Emerline has been our technology partner since late 2012. In the early years, I thought that they would fill a short-term gap until I could afford to hire my own technical team in the US. But they have consistently met the demands of our growing company and helped us build what we believe is our industry's best solution option. Emerline provides high quality work, so much so that our platform's reliability and accuracy has repeatedly been mentioned by our largest customer's internal vendor survey. The individuals we work with aren't just contractors, they are an important part of our strategic Team and we enjoy working with them every day!

RISE replaces a fragmented IT landscape with one contract, one owner, and one predictable path forward.

Single accountability: one owner for the entire stack
RISE puts SAP in charge of the ERP, the infrastructure, the platform, and core technical services. You avoid vendor overlap, conflicting responsibilities, and long troubleshooting cycles.
Cost predictability through an OpEx model
Instead of hardware purchases and scattered infrastructure fees, you get one subscription. Costs become stable, planned, and tied to operations rather than capital investments.
Faster start thanks to unified procurement
There is no need to negotiate separate agreements with cloud providers or platform vendors. Everything is bundled, so projects start sooner and teams stay focused on delivery.
Unified governance and consistent service levels
Updates, SLAs, security, and compliance sit under the same roof. This removes gaps between vendors and ensures a more controlled, predictable operating environment.

RISE with SAP Project Framework

Every RISE with SAP project starts from a different point. Some companies move from ECC. Some shift from on-prem to cloud. Some modernize custom code. The path varies, but the structure stays the same. Here is how RISE projects usually run:

Strategy & planning

Current-state review: Map your ERP footprint, integrations, custom objects, and infrastructure.
Transition strategy: Define Public or Private Edition, IaaS choice, and required BTP services.
Roadmap creation: Build a migration timeline, governance model, and team responsibilities.
Clean core approach: Set rules for extensions and custom code to avoid technical debt.

Assessment & readiness check

System assessment: Analyze ECC usage, custom modifications, interfaces, and data quality.
Process readiness: Identify gaps between current processes and S/4HANA standard.
Technical validation: Evaluate sizing, security, and compliance requirements.

Solution design & architecture

Target architecture: Define the S/4HANA landscape, integration model, and cloud setup.
Extension framework: Plan BTP-based apps and integrations following clean-core principles.
Data design: Define data structures, migration rules, and archiving needs.
Testing blueprint: Plan test cycles for functionality, integrations, and performance.

Migration & implementation

System conversion, new implementation (Greenfield), or selective transition: Choose the right migration path based on the roadmap.
Data migration: Extract, cleanse, transform, and load data into S/4HANA.
Configuration: Set up processes based on SAP Best Practices or industry templates.
Integration setup: Connect S/4HANA to other systems, both internal and external.

Validation & go-live

Testing cycles: Run functional, integration, security, and performance tests.
User enablement: Train key users and prepare documentation for day-one operations.
Go/no-go criteria: Confirm readiness for cutover, data transfer, and operational change.
Cutover execution: Move from legacy to S/4HANA with a controlled go-live plan.
Stabilization: Monitor performance and resolve early post-go-live issues.

Optimization & ongoing support

Continuous improvement: Fine-tune processes and enhance system performance.
Innovation adoption: Add AI scenarios, automation tools, or new BTP capabilities.
Governance: Maintain clean core, manage changes, and ensure upgrade readiness.
Operational support: Monitor security, performance, and integrations under RISE SLAs.

FAQ

Does the RISE with SAP subscription include implementation services from a partner (LeverX)?

No. The RISE subscription covers software, infrastructure, and platform services (S/4HANA Cloud, BTP, IaaS). Services for assessment, migration, implementation, integration, and consulting are provided separately by the partner (LeverX) to configure the standard system to meet your unique business processes.

What is the primary strategic difference between RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP?

RISE is designed for established enterprises with complex, existing ERP landscapes requiring a controlled, customizable path to S/4HANA Cloud.

GROW is an accelerated offering for midsized or new SAP customers, bundling a predefined scope of S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition with fixed implementation services for a faster start.

Within RISE, does the choice of public or private cloud affect future flexibility?

Yes, significantly.

Public Cloud follows a strict standard model with upgrades managed entirely by SAP, which limits custom code.

Private Cloud allows for stable, governed customizations and a slower upgrade cadence you control. This choice determines your long-term ability to deviate from SAP’s standard processes.

Can the RISE with SAP subscription include solutions other than S/4HANA Cloud?

The core subscription is for S/4HANA Cloud. However, SAP offers the option to bundle certain additional cloud solutions, like SuccessFactors or Ariba, into a broader enterprise agreement. This creates a consolidated commercial framework beyond the core ERP.
