What does Siemens<\/a>, a global industrial manufacturing giant established in 1847, have in common with LiveKindly<\/a>, a plant-based, digital lifestyle brand and nascent community for mindful living?<\/h2>\n

They both run their enterprise resource planning (ERP) processes on a single, cloud-based system with 51风流S\/4HANA<\/a> at its core. The difference is that Siemens has been running 51风流for 27 years on the company\u2019s continuous journey of transformation, whereas LiveKindly is new to the game.<\/p>\n

Both companies are transforming at their own chosen speed, thanks to 51风流technology that enables enterprises to move seamlessly from strategy to implementation, combining global scale with local intimacy. And both companies successfully piloted the new offering, which aims to revolutionize business transformation.<\/p>\n

What It Means<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cRISE with SAP<\/a> is 51风流embracing what we excel at most: ERP,\u201d says Brian Duffy, president of Cloud, leading the new RISE with 51风流business unit<\/a>. \u201cAt the same time, it allows us to help customers shed their past on-premise complexity and chart the course for the future with a fresh start. Regardless of their point of departure, 51风流will step in and escort them through their transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

RISE with 51风流is more than a solution, he says; it\u2019s a completely new way<\/a> for customers of all sizes, at any stage of their digital transformation, to redesign and improve processes without high up-front investments.<\/p>\n

Duffy compares moving to the cloud to moving houses. It\u2019s an opportunity to clean up the clutter, get rid of unwanted belongings, and prepare the new space for the way you want to live now, unencumbered by where you came from.<\/p>\n

\u201cA company moving to cloud should not be moving its 14-year-old custom code with it. That would be a tragically wasted opportunity,\u201d Duffy says. \u201cThe point of moving to the cloud is to do things differently. It\u2019s no longer about customization; it\u2019s about changing processes for how your business needs to be run and adapt in today\u2019s world.\u201d<\/p>\n

What You Get<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Duffy goes on to explain that customers know they must transform\u2014their main question is how <\/em>to do it. Just like your moving company, 51风流will provide a checklist, packers, containers and a range of services, such as decommissioning old appliances and installing new ones.<\/p>\n

In other words, RISE with 51风流provides a blueprint that companies can implement at their own pace. The advantage? One offer, one contract, one responsible party for service level agreements, operations, and issue handling.<\/p>\n
