Microsoft Selects RISE With SAP

RISE will allow Microsoft to deploy new capabilities and technologies faster and run its business on a flexible cloud-first solution that is integrated with the other cloud solutions from SAP that Microsoft uses.

Microsoft is the first public cloud provider to adopt RISE with SAP internally to transform some of its large SAP ERP deployments. The decision to adopt RISE builds on its wide adoption of SAP solutions. These include SuccessFactors solutions, the Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain solution, Business Technology Platform and other SAP solutions running on Microsoft Azure. Microsoft’s implementation of RISE will deepen Microsoft’s expertise with SAP solutions and establish best practices that can be shared to the benefit of joint customers.

SAP has also migrated several of its business-critical IT landscapes to Microsoft Azure. As part of its own transformative journey and to gain operational efficiencies, SAP will optimize IT operations for some critical internal business systems under the operations model used for the RISE solution hosted on Microsoft Azure.
