For installed base customers, which journey do RISE with SAP journeys include?

The journey for installed base customers in the RISE with SAP framework is designed to accommodate their existing landscapes while facilitating transformation. The hybrid two-tier approach is particularly relevant because it allows organizations to maintain their current systems while simultaneously integrating new, cloud-based solutions. This approach enables businesses to leverage their prior investments and mitigate risks associated with a full system overhaul.

The hybrid model supports a phased transformation, where companies can maintain operational continuity while gradually migrating to more modern, agile solutions. It offers flexibility by allowing businesses to retain on-premise systems for certain processes while exploring cloud capabilities for others, making it a pragmatic choice for organizations not starting from scratch.

Other options, such as a greenfield ERP implementation or moving directly to a public cloud, imply a more radical change that may not suit installed base customers who often benefit from a more gradual and integrated transformation process. Leveraging RISE with SAP methodology is essential to guide the transformation but does not specifically address the nature of the journey tailored for existing customer landscapes.
