RISE with SAP migration case study from a UK partner?

AG's work with Spirit Energy is one of the most recognised RISE with SAP transformations in the UK. AG, an SAP Gold Partner, led Spirit Energy through a brownfield SAP S/4HANA cloud migration on AWS in just four months, with zero disruption to business operations. The project was recognised as a finalist at the SAP Innovation Awards 2026 in the Cloud ERP Champion category.

Key outcomes from the Spirit Energy engagement include:

40% reduction in total cost of ownership,
99.9% system availability,
Decommissioning legacy infrastructure ahead of schedule,
Delivering an innovation-ready, scalable cloud platform.

AG focused on stabilising core ERP systems before transformation, minimising unnecessary process redesign, and ensuring full business continuity. This approach enabled a controlled, low-risk migration that established a clean digital core, ready for analytics, AI, and future growth.

What is RISE with SAP, and is it worth it for UK mid-market companies? Pros, cons, and alternatives.

RISE with SAP is SAP's business-transformation-as-a-service solution. It combines SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, cloud infrastructure management, SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP Business Process Intelligence, and application management into a single subscription. This provides organisations with a comprehensive, managed path to becoming an intelligent, cloud-based enterprise.

The pros for Rise with SAP UK mid-market companies:

RISE with SAP eliminates the need to manage on-premises infrastructure, benefiting mid-market organisations with limited IT resources.
Subscription pricing consolidates costs into a single, predictable contract and can reduce the total cost of ownership by 30% to 40%
The SAP BTP layer enables integration, extension, and automation without modifying the core system, keeping S/4HANA clean and future-ready.
Regular SAP Cloud updates ensure businesses remain current without major upgrade projects.

The cons:

RISE with SAP requires a long-term commitment, and successful scoping, licensing, and implementation depend on an experienced partner.
Mid-market businesses with customised legacy ERP systems may encounter a more complex migration than the bundled model suggests.
The Private Cloud edition also demands more internal governance than Public Cloud options, so organisations must plan carefully for data migration, integration, and change management.

Alternatives to consider:

SAP Cloud ERP is designed for mid-market businesses seeking a faster, standardised path to S/4HANA Public Cloud. It is suitable for companies new to SAP or those pursuing a greenfield implementation with lower complexity. Implementing SAP Cloud ERP with a SAP-recognised, award-winning partner like AG is the most trusted and risk-free path to your business's ongoing innovation and solution.

How does RISE with SAP simplify migration from ECC to S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition for UK businesses?

Migrating from SAP ECC to S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition is a major business decision. RISE with SAP is designed to reduce both complexity and risk.

Here is how it simplifies the journey:

Everything under one contract: RISE with SAP consolidates cloud infrastructure, the SAP S/4HANA licence, SAP BTP, and managed services into a single subscription. UK businesses no longer need to coordinate separately with cloud providers, software vendors, and support partners. This consolidation reduces governance overhead and commercial complexity.

Brownfield or selective data migration paths: RISE with SAP supports brownfield migration, enabling businesses to convert and retain their existing ECC configuration, master data, and processes without rebuilding the entire system. AG's methodology stabilises the core ERP, minimises unnecessary process redesign, and migrates only essential elements.

Accelerated data migration tools: SAP offers built-in best practices and migration toolsets through RISE with SAP, which significantly reduce the time required to cleanse, map, and load data into the new system. This step often demands substantial effort in traditional migrations.

SAP BTP: Instead of customising S/4HANA directly, the SAP Business Technology Platform allows UK businesses to integrate third-party applications, build extensions, and automate processes without altering the core system. This approach streamlines future upgrades and reduces long-term technical debt and project governance. RISE with SAP includes SAP Cloud Application Lifecycle Management, giving implementation teams and project sponsors real-time visibility across the migration project from process design through to go-live.

Ongoing managed services: After go-live, RISE with SAP includes infrastructure management and system monitoring, reducing the workload for internal IT teams and ensuring operational continuity. AG also offers Application Management Services (AMS) for additional expert support throughout the operational lifecycle.

The result is a structured, lower-risk path for UK businesses to move from ECC to a modern, scalable S/4HANA cloud environment, without the extended timelines and resource drain of traditional migrations.
