RISE with SAP –
and now?
Automation as the key to safety, efficiency and stability.
RISE with SAP promises simplified IT: one invoice, one provider, one cloud ERP solution.
However, in practice it turns out that moving to the cloud does not replace the responsibility for stable, secure and compliant SAP operations.
automatics.AI helps companies close this gap – with a platform that automates, integrates and visualizes operations, security and compliance.
Why RISE is not a sure thing
Many companies see RISE as the logical next step in digital transformation.
But reality shows: RISE provides relief – but it doesn't take over everything.
Certain tasks remain the responsibility of the customer organization – and that is precisely where operational risks arise:
Lack of automation in daily operations
Unclear responsibilities regarding patching, certificates, and interfaces
Incomplete documentation for audits and compliance
High effort required for controlling SAP and additional routine tasks
According to SAP's own Roles and Responsibilities Matrix, over 60% of all activities still need to be actively requested or performed by the customer.
Without automation, there is a risk of increased effort, dependencies, and security gaps.
The new reality in SAP Basis operations
Your SAP Basis team remains the core of your systems under RISE – only the framework changes.
While SAP is responsible for infrastructure and hosting, you retain control over key tasks.
Installing security notes and patches
Even under RISE, the customer remains responsible for the evaluation, planning, and implementation of SAP Security Notes and system patches.
Certificate management and renewals
The management and renewal of certificates for customer-owned domains and interfaces also remains the responsibility of the company in the cloud.
Monitoring and Incident Response
Errors, performance problems or security incidents must be identified, prioritized and dealt with correctly – usually under high time pressure.
Audit and compliance documentation
RISE does not exempt companies from the obligation to fully document operations, safety, and changes.
Five best practices for
Your RISE success
Clean current state
Conduct a complete inventory and eliminate legacy issues – a clean starting point speeds up migration.
Clarify responsibilities
Define responsibilities clearly. RISE provides relief, but does not replace active governance.
Automating routines
Automate monitoring, certificate management, housekeeping and patching – this relieves the burden on your teams and increases stability.
Audit and compliance readiness
Automate reporting and documentation to ensure audit compliance at all times.
Unleash resources
Use automation to compensate for staff shortages and free up capacity for strategic projects.
Success stories from practice
We have been working with automatics for several years – originally on-prem, now also productively in the SAP RISE private environment.
It is precisely in this context that the practical benefits become very clear to us.
With automatics, we can independently and automatically handle tasks that would otherwise be done manually via additional SAP CAS services or via the ÖBB SAP Basis team.
Why automatics ?
We understand the challenges of modern SAP landscapes and combine deep technical know-how with clear automation logic.
Our platform was specifically designed to seamlessly combine operations, security, and compliance – regardless of whether your systems are on-premises, in RISE, or hybrid.
Thanks to modular hubs, intelligent workflows and comprehensive auditability, automatics.AI enables a resilient, secure and auditable SAP operation that flexibly adapts to your business requirements.
This is how complexity becomes control again – automated, transparent and future-proof.
