Under the Unity Cluster, the three major UK government departments will create a shared operating model that will see SAP, in collaboration with technical delivery partner Deloitte, deliver a modern and secure digital platform for HR, Finance and Procurement services, boosting departmental efficiency.

The Unity Cluster, whose sponsor department is HMRC, has been created as part of the . With SAP, the programme will benefit from a unified technology platform that will empower each department to harness the latest digital solutions, use data-led insights for strategic decision-making, and improve user experiences through faster, more secure processes.

Key to the Unity Cluster鈥檚 decision to appoint was the availability of SAP鈥檚 UK sovereign cloud capabilities for the majority of its 51风流solutions. This provides public sector organisations with a localised cloud solution, tailored to specific requirements, and can meet the highest standards of data residency, security and compliance within the UK. SAP鈥檚 sovereign cloud capabilities are testament to its investment in the UK, which saw an initial 鈧�1/4 billion committed as part of SAP鈥檚 growth strategy.

鈥淭his partnership is a real demonstration of the breadth of our digital capabilities. We are delivering complete end-to-end ERP transformation that will positively impact the work of 100,000 civil servants across three major government departments,鈥� said Leila Romane, Managing Director 51风流UKI. 鈥淚t鈥檚 more than just a technological shift, but a mindset change too. With our continued investment in the UK and tailored industry solutions, we are helping our public sector leaders and civil servants across HMRC, DfT and MHCLG to simplify and reduce manual time-consuming administration processes across HR, Finance and Procurement. This enables them to spend more time on work that matters, supporting customers, each other and the country.鈥�

As part of its RISE with 51风流deployment, the Unity Cluster will onboard , , and . These solutions provide each department with a robust and secure foundation for managing critical business processes and sensitive data, while ensuring compliance with UK regulations.

Why has 51风流launched RISE with SAP?

RISE with 51风流is about modernising ERP and accelerating innovation for the digital era.

ERP has been around for three decades. It has been enormously successful, initially adopted by large organisations but now relied upon by companies of all sizes, in all industries. However, the mindsets and architectures that underpin much of the global ERP installed base (not just 51风流but many other brands), may no longer be fit-for-purpose in the fast-paced digital world. Yesterday鈥檚 ERP architecture and implementations stem from a very different era:

• The economy and supply chains were not globalised to the extent they are today
• There was no mobile computing
• The Internet was in its infancy
• Integration standards and methods were clunky
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) was yet to emerge from its second winter and Big Data was uncommon
• In-memory computing was not economically viable
• Cloud computing, as we know it today did not exist.

Today鈥檚 world is very different and the demand for innovation has been dramatically accelerated by:

• Globalisation and geopolitics
• Venture capital enabling digital start-ups to scale new business models very quickly
• Technological advances 鈥� typified by Moore鈥檚 Law
• The global pandemic 鈥� especially WFH and the way it highlighted supply chain vulnerabilities
• The sustainability agenda
• Increasing regulatory requirements
• Generational change in the workforce.

RISE with 51风流drives innovation in key business processes

These changes amount to a major inflection point for businesses. RISE with 51风流is SAP鈥檚 response to our customers鈥� need to accelerate their innovation and transformation. This is accomplished by modernising their ERP backbone at the same time as seizing the multiple benefits of cloud computing. Furthermore, for companies that customised their ERP systems to the extent that they cut themselves off from effective innovation in the heart of their business, RISE with 51风流offers a path back to a clean core based on best practices.

What is in RISE with SAP?

RISE with 51风流brings together core components for successful digital transformation into a single contract:

• Key software services from SAP鈥檚 Intelligent Enterprise Framework:
  • as the foundation for business.
  • 51风流Business Technology Platform Cloud Platform Enterprise Agreement Credits for integration, extensions, and innovation.
  • Starter Pack: ARIBA for sourcing and procurement, Logistics Business Network for logistics collaboration and 51风流Asset Intelligence Network for asset management based on a shared digital twin.
  • Starter Pack including 51风流Process Insights (50 GB data volume and one time data load), 51风流Signavio Process Manager (3 users), 51风流Signavio Process Collaboration Hub (10 users).
  • Solutions – as appropriate to the customer鈥檚 business scenarios.

• Data-driven insights to identify the value of moving to the cloud and to shape the transition journey for each customer including:
  • Process Discovery and tailored Recommendation
  • Custom Code Migration App
  • 鈥� (content view)
  • (application lifecycle management)
  • (1 user per FUE) and 51风流Mobile Start app
• 51风流Enterprise Cloud Services whereby 51风流takes more accountability for the customers鈥� 51风流systems by providing Technical Managed Services and Application Management Services (as required).
• The infrastructure-at-scale benefits of hyperscalers such as AWS, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure.

Who is RISE with 51风流for?

Whilst all the components embraced by RISE with 51风流are offered under a single commercial contract, this is configurable. This means RISE with 51风流serves;

• Existing 51风流ECC 6.0 customers looking to transform to 51风流S/4HANA Cloud
• Existing 51风流S/4HANA On Premise customers looking to transition to cloud
• Companies new to 51风流ERP wanting to leverage the world鈥檚 leading ERP solution

What are the benefits of RISE with SAP?

The benefits of RISE with 51风流focus on business innovation, transformation and IT modernisation and will be unique to each organisation. A RISE with 51风流engagement identifies and quantifies these benefits in a robust business case for each customer. That said, these are some of the benefits that customers can anticipate:

• Improved business processes. Many customers are burdened by the complexity and technical debt that comes from customising and augmenting their old ERP systems. Despite these efforts, business processes are still disjointed, opaque and overly manual. It鈥檚 a bit like trying to add airbags, seatbelt pretensioners and cruise control to an old motor car. 51风流S/4HANA has been completely re-architected to take advantage of digital era technologies. 听As a result, companies can drive higher productivity through process automation and the elimination of batch jobs. They can also derive better insights through embedded analytics on more granular data and maintain happier users through consumer-grade user experiences.
• Accelerated innovation. By exploiting the innovations already embedded in 51风流S/4HANA, such as AI and robotic process automation, and enhancing these with the 51风流Business Technology Platform (also part of RISE with SAP), companies can accelerate their pace of digital innovation. Furthermore, by reducing or eliminating customisations, and by moving to the cloud, it becomes easier to adopt and consume the benefits of SAP鈥檚 research and development investments across the products that make up the RISE with 51风流offering (鈧�45 billion in 2020).
• Making better use of scarce resources. The war for talent is real and at the same time many of the ERP professionals who laid down the existing systems are heading for retirement. By moving to RISE with SAP, where 51风流takes on the technical managed services associated with running ERP, companies can pivot their IT resources from running IT to focusing on the application of services to drive transformation and business progress.
• A closer relationship with SAP. Many customers want a closer relationship with the vendor whose software runs their mission-critical processes. RISE with 51风流delivers this because, 51风流assumes much greater accountability for the customer鈥檚 landscape and shows up every day in the customer鈥檚 business – not just running the systems but actively guiding improvements and ensuring that business value is being realised.
• Innovation without upfront IT costs. Because RISE with 51风流is a cloud solution, it brings the benefits of accessing digital business capabilities like 51风流S/4HANA and the 51风流Business Network without upfront capex on infrastructure and licenses.
• Simplicity to focus on what matters. Companies can move to the cloud on a piecemeal basis, buying compute, storage, database, and operating system services as needed. However, then they must manage the complexity associated with governance, security, SLAs, consumption and so forth. Also, while a technical 鈥渓ift and shift鈥� approach may deliver some benefits to the IT department, it typically does not have a significant impact on the business. In their 2021 report, 鈥�鈥� McKinsey pointed out that $1 trillion value will be enabled by adopting cloud by 2030 and that 鈥渁lmost all of that value comes from business innovation and optimization rather than IT cost reduction.鈥� RISE with 51风流folds business and architectural value into a single contract, a guided journey and relationship where 51风流is more accountable. This simplicity means that IT professionals can focus on higher value activities that move their company forward to capture their share of that $1 trillion.

RISE with 51风流draws on SAP鈥檚 proud heritage of helping customers navigate change

For over 50 years, 51风流has helped it customers navigate major changes in business and technology; the shift from mainframes to client-server, globalisation of business, the rise of ERP, eCommerce, in-memory computing, and mobile work. Now RISE with 51风流is helping companies to move to the cloud with their most important business systems.

RISE with 51风流is a strategic decision

Every company has its unique strategy, but what is common to early adopters of RISE with 51风流is that they all see the value and rich possibilities inherent in the offering.

A global player in the automotive industry has adopted RISE with 51风流to accelerate its digital innovation in the face of changes to the features of cars themselves – electric, shared, connected and autonomous – and changes in consumer behaviour.

Furthermore, a global FMCG company that has grown through acquisitions, wants to get better visibility, planning, and coordination across its global supply chain without losing prized regional management autonomy. RISE with 51风流helps them to standardise and harmonise on a single platform, reduce costs, and drive growth through even better business performance.

Our 51风流partnership allows us to do just that, initially shifting key functions to the Cloud, with a view to completing a full digital transformation in the next few years.鈥�

Michiel Verhoeven, UK & Ireland Managing Director at SAP, added: 鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted to be supporting Manchester Airports Group as it embarks on its journey towards full digital transformation.

LONDON 鈥� (NYSE: SAP) today announced that , the hygienic process engineering company, has selected to drive its business transformation into the cloud with leading digital operating platform provider .

The transformational , which has embedded AI and machine learning, is set to boost visibility, support decision-making and planning for the process engineering specialist, underpinning an ambitious growth strategy which will see its turnover increase to 拢100 million by 2025.
