At Redress Compliance, we help SAP customers navigate RISE licensing and contract risks — ensuring flexibility, cost control, and negotiation leverage.
Introduction
RISE with SAP is SAP’s cloud-first offering — combining S/4HANA, infrastructure, managed services, and support into one subscription.
But SAP RISE contracts often favor SAP — not the customer. Key risks with RISE include:
Lack of pricing transparency
Long-term cloud commitment without flexibility
Licensing lock-in
Complex scope definitions
Difficult exit strategy
