Wondering Why? We’re Here to Answer
SAP S/4HANA is SAP's next-generation ERP platform designed to support real-time enterprise operations using in-memory database technology.
RISE with SAP combines SAP S/4HANA Cloud, infrastructure services and migration tools to help organisations migrate legacy SAP environments to cloud-based ERP platforms.
Most projects range from 6 to 18 months, depending on whether organisations adopt a brownfield conversion, greenfield implementation, or landscape transformation.
Yes. RheinBrücke supports enterprises across the full SAP transformation lifecycle, including readiness assessments, migration planning, implementation and cloud transformation through RISE with SAP. We work with organisations in manufacturing, life sciences and distribution across Europe and the Middle East.
A brownfield conversion migrates your existing SAP ECC system directly to S/4HANA, retaining historical data and configuration. A greenfield implementation builds a new S/4HANA system from SAP best practices. Brownfield is faster but carries forward existing processes and customisations. Greenfield takes longer but delivers a cleaner, more standardised system.
All custom ABAP code and enhancements must be reviewed for S/4HANA compatibility. Some classic customisations are no longer needed because S/4HANA handles the same requirements natively. Others require adaptation or replacement with SAP BTP side-by-side extensions to preserve clean-core principles. RheinBrücke performs a full custom code assessment during the readiness phase to catalogue, prioritise and resolve each item.
A landscape transformation restructures multiple SAP systems during migration, for example consolidating three regional SAP ECC instances into a single S/4HANA environment. It is typically used in merger and acquisition scenarios, global template rollout programmes, or where an organisation wants to reduce the number of SAP systems it operates.
SAP S/4HANA is the ERP platform that modernises enterprise systems, while RISE with SAP is the cloud transformation framework that enables organisations to migrate and operate SAP S/4HANA in cloud environments.
GROW with SAP is designed for organisations adopting a standardised public cloud ERP environment, combining SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud with best-practice business processes and rapid implementation frameworks. RISE with SAP is the private cloud pathway, suited to organisations migrating existing SAP environments with greater configuration control. See the GROW with SAP sub-page for full detail.
With SAP ending mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC in 2027, organisations are accelerating their move to S/4HANA. Migration becomes urgent when legacy ECC systems limit scalability, reporting speed and innovation adoption. Moving to SAP S/4HANA enables real-time analytics, simplified data models and improved operational visibility before the deadline.
RISE with SAP helps organisations:
- Simplify ERP infrastructure management
- Reduce on-premise data centre costs
- Improve scalability and resilience of SAP environments
- Accelerate adoption of SAP innovations and cloud services
