SAP RISE is a great option for businesses that are looking to implement a greenfield SAP system. With SAP RISE, SAP takes on a lot of the effort and responsibility of hosting and supporting your SAP landscape, which can be a major relief for businesses that don’t have the resources or ability to do it themselves. This can be especially important for organizations that want to focus on their core business operations and not be bogged down by the demands of managing an SAP infrastructure.
However, SAP RISE is not without its limitations. Despite its many benefits, SAP RISE comes with some major drawbacks that organizations need to be aware of. Some of these include:
- Higher costs compared to other solutions: SAP RISE is a more expensive option when compared to other solutions available in the market. This may make it an unsustainable choice for organizations that are looking to keep their costs in check.
- Steep learning curve for users unfamiliar with SAP: SAP is a complex platform, and while SAP RISE takes on a lot of the hosting and maintenance responsibilities, it still requires customers to have a moderate understanding of SAP. For organizations that are unfamiliar with SAP, the learning curve can be steep and time-consuming.
- Limited customization options for certain processes: SAP RISE can be limiting in terms of customization options. This can be a major disadvantage for organizations that require specific processes and workflows to be tailored to their unique needs.
- Limited flexibility and control: SAP RISE runs in a controlled environment, which can be restrictive for organizations that require more control and flexibility over their SAP infrastructure.
With these limitations in mind, let’s take a look at the benefits of hosting your SAP systems in an AWS environment managed by ETZ Global, compared to using SAP RISE.
The Benefits of a Managed AWS Environment for Your SAP Systems
As organizations increasingly look for ways to optimize their IT operations and lower costs, the decision to host their SAP systems in the cloud has become an increasingly popular choice. ETZ Global, as an experienced implementation partner with a fully qualified team of technical consultants in both AWS and SAP, provides a compelling choice for organizations looking to make the transition, whether it is a greenfield implementation or a migration of your existing ERP landscape.
One of the key advantages of an ETZ Global managed AWS environment is the ability to have greater control and flexibility over your IT infrastructure. In a RISE environment, any simple task needs to be requested via a vast number of Service Requests. These requests need to be scheduled, and there is often no direct contact allowed with the individual who will be tasked with the work. This can result in a slow and cumbersome process that can not only be frustrating, but time-consuming and disruptive to your day-to-day operations or longer-term plans.
With ETZ Global, organizations enjoy the same flexibility, but also benefit from the personal touch provided by our team of experts. Our technical resources are readily available at the end of a Team IM chat, email, or over the phone, and we can perform crucial tasks at a much greater speed. This ensures that your SAP systems are optimized and running smoothly, without the added stress and frustration that can come with working in a RISE environment.
Furthermore, ETZ Global works with you to ensure that your AWS environment is right-sized to meet your specific needs and requirements. This not only helps to lower costs compared to a traditional SAP RISE environment, but it also ensures that your SAP systems are running as efficiently as possible.
Finally, hosting your SAP systems in an AWS environment managed by ETZ Global provides greater control and flexibility, optimized systems, cost savings, and the peace of mind that comes with working with experienced experts. Contact us today to get in touch with an expert.
