The switch to RISE with SAP is a milestone for every company. However, clear structures are needed to ensure that the move to the cloud does not lead to risks, disruptions and uncertainty. This is exactly where IT Service Management (ITSM) comes in: It accompanies your transformation from initial planning through to secure operation - and ensures that RISE with SAP does not become a feat of strength, but rather the engine of your digital future.
Phase 1: Preparation - creating the basis for success
Before the actual migration starts, thorough preparation is crucial. In this phase, existing processes, roles and responsibilities are analyzed. A gap analysis shows where your IT is already well positioned and where improvements are necessary for cloud operation. Based on this, a roadmap is created that defines clear priorities and addresses potential risks at an early stage. In this way, you create a reliable basis and prevent surprises from delaying the transformation.
Phase 2: Migration - structure instead of chaos
Switching to the SAP cloud is technically demanding. At the same time, daily business processes must not come to a standstill. With ITSM, you remain in control during this phase: defined processes and responsibilities ensure that incidents, changes or problems are managed transparently. Compliance and security requirements are directly integrated so that the migration not only runs smoothly, but is also secure in the long term. In short: ITSM turns a potentially chaotic project into a predictable and controlled transition.
Phase 3: Operation - ensuring stability and reliability
After the changeover, it becomes clear how sustainable the structures really are. Ongoing operation is the phase in which ITSM shows its greatest strength: It ensures that your hybrid landscape of cloud and on-premises systems functions in a stable and traceable manner. Risks are managed transparently, service quality and governance are maintained and your organization remains resilient even in highly critical processes. The result: you gain trust - both internally with the specialist departments and externally with partners and stakeholders.
Phase 4: Continuous improvement - ensuring future viability
RISE with SAP is not a one-off milestone, but an ongoing journey. In this phase, ITSM helps you to regularly review processes and structures and develop them further in a targeted manner. Your IT organization becomes more agile, learns from experience and consistently aligns itself with the needs of the business. This means that you are not only in a stable position, but also in a position to actively exploit the opportunities of digital transformation.
Conclusion - ITSM makes the difference
Whether planning, migration, operation or further development: ITSM accompanies every phase of RISE with SAP and creates the necessary stability, transparency and security. This way, your SAP cloud does not become a challenge, but a sustainable competitive advantage.
