RISE with SAP Cloud Migration
Accelerate your move to S/4HANA with RISE with SAP
RISE with SAP enables organizations to modernize ERP and move to the cloud on SAP's managed infrastructure. We help you navigate the full transition — from legacy SAP ECC environments through assessment, migration strategy, and go-live — ensuring you arrive at a clean, cloud-based S/4HANA architecture that supports your business for the next decade. The 2027 ECC end-of-support deadline makes the timing non-negotiable. The approach makes all the difference.
End-to-end transformation — not just migration
We combine technical S/4HANA migration with business process redesign — ensuring you unlock the full value of the new platform, not just a cloud-hosted version of your old one. RISE with SAP bundles S/4HANA Cloud, SAP Business Technology Platform, and infrastructure into a single subscription. We help you evaluate whether RISE is the right deployment model, manage the migration execution, and integrate S/4HANA with Salesforce and your wider enterprise stack from go-live.

We will evaluate your current SAP landscape, assess RISE with SAP fit versus alternative deployment models, and develop a phased migration roadmap aligned to your 2027 deadline.
What Cold Sun Capital delivers in your RISE with SAP migration
From migration strategy and deployment model evaluation to S/4HANA configuration, data migration, and post-go-live optimization — our SAP practice delivers RISE with SAP engagements structured for mid-market speed and business-process-led outcomes.
Migration Strategy & Deployment Model
Assessment of brownfield, greenfield, and selective data migration approaches — with a deployment model evaluation (RISE vs. hyperscaler vs. on-premise) based on your data residency requirements, TCO, and integration complexity.
Data Migration & System Conversion
End-to-end data migration from ECC 6 to S/4HANA — including data quality assessment, mapping validation, cleansing, and reconciliation reports before cutover. We reduce data volume during migration rather than carrying legacy complexity forward.
Process Optimization & Redesign
Business process modernization aligned to S/4HANA best practices — removing legacy workarounds, simplifying custom code, and configuring Fiori interfaces that actually improve user productivity.
Cloud Architecture & Integration Setup
S/4HANA Cloud architecture design and integration with Salesforce, ServiceNow, and third-party platforms — built into the migration, not retrofitted after go-live.
Transform while you migrate
RISE with SAP migrations that simply replicate ECC configuration in S/4HANA miss the point of the platform change. Cold Sun Capital uses the migration as an opportunity to modernize processes, reduce custom code volume, and simplify the system landscape. We deliver in phased waves — typically Finance and Core Procurement first — so you have a live S/4HANA environment within 12–16 weeks, with subsequent waves following at the same cadence. Proof of progress, not 18 months of promises.
Why organizations choose our approach
Large consultancies sell RISE with SAP as a three-year transformation programme. Mid-market organizations — with real 2027 deadlines and finite budgets — cannot afford that approach and should not need to. Cold Sun Capital brings SAP S/4HANA migration expertise with a phased, fixed-scope delivery model: 12–16 week waves, clear deliverables at each stage, and a Salesforce integration capability that pure-play SAP consultancies cannot offer. One accountable team from assessment through go-live.

Frequently asked questions about RISE with SAP Cloud Migration
What is RISE with SAP?
RISE with SAP is a bundled offering from SAP that helps organizations migrate to SAP S/4HANA in the cloud. It packages S/4HANA Cloud (public or private edition), SAP Business Technology Platform, infrastructure, and tools into a single commercial subscription — simplifying vendor management and providing a clear migration path from ECC 6.
What are the benefits of RISE with SAP?
RISE with SAP simplifies ERP transformation by bundling infrastructure, platform, and migration tools into a single contract. It reduces infrastructure complexity, provides a clear upgrade roadmap managed by SAP, and accelerates cloud adoption compared to self-managed S/4HANA deployments. For organizations without dedicated SAP infrastructure teams, RISE significantly lowers the operational overhead of running S/4HANA.
What is the difference between brownfield and greenfield migration?
A brownfield migration converts your existing ECC 6 system in place, preserving custom code, configuration, and historical data. A greenfield migration builds a new S/4HANA system from scratch, adopting SAP best practices and leaving legacy customizations behind. Cold Sun Capital typically recommends a selective data migration approach for mid-market clients — combining the clean architecture of greenfield with the historical data preservation of brownfield, delivered in shorter phased waves.
How long does a RISE with SAP migration take?
Typically 6–12 months for standard mid-market environments, structured as sequential 12–16 week delivery waves. Wave 1 (Finance and Core Procurement) goes live in 12–16 weeks. Subsequent waves handle Supply Chain, Manufacturing, or additional business units at the same cadence. This phased approach eliminates the compounding risk of long-running single-phase SAP programmes.
Is RISE with SAP suitable for mid-market companies?
Yes — RISE with SAP is designed to support both large enterprises and mid-market organizations. The private cloud edition is particularly well-suited to mid-market companies that need customization flexibility but do not want to manage their own SAP infrastructure. Cold Sun Capital evaluates RISE fit versus hyperscaler and on-premise deployment options for each client based on actual TCO, data residency requirements, and integration complexity.
