The SAP partner ecosystem is at the core of the latest milestone offering, RISE with SAP, to simplify each customer’s business transformation journey.
HCL Technologies (HCL), a next-generation global technology company headquartered in Noida, India, joined the roster of organisations that have embraced SAP’s newest concierge service to the Intelligent Enterprise. Offered as a Business Transformation as a Service package, RISE with SAP will enable HCL Technologies’ customers to accelerate their journey to becoming an intelligent enterprise by leveraging both HCL’s digital and application capabilities and their existing SAP investments.
Kalyan Kumar, Corporate Chief Technology Officer & Head – Ecosystems, HCL Technologies, explained the multinational company’s outlook and market opportunity with RISE with SAP. He said:
“This offering affords us the opportunity to demonstrate HCL’s vast array of offerings and experience in the SAP space. We are uniquely positioned to provide a true 360-degree service to SAP clients moving into the cloud. Working together, we can help ensure existing on-premises investments are not lost as organizations transition to RISE with SAP and accelerate their move to the cloud.”
HCL’s recent IDC recognition reflects the company’s capabilities in empowering organisations to accelerate cloud adoption and digital transformation. As a truly global company with a robust delivery model, functionality, and innovation, HCL achieved a Leader rank in the IDC MarketScape: Canadian Cloud Professional Services 2021 Vendor Assessment in January.
Embracing RISE with SAP
RISE with SAP is a customer-first, partner-centric service offering that leverages SAP S/4HANA Cloud, an ERP system with built-in intelligent technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and advanced analytics. With more organisations investing in SAP S/4HANA as reported in the Americas’ SAP Users’ Group (ASUG) and the German-Speaking User Group (DSAG) surveys, the solution is forecasted to grow further over the next three years.
Anticipating the contribution of RISE with SAP as an addition to the HCL portfolio, Anand Birje, Senior Corporate Vice President and Global Head Digital & Analytics at HCL Technologies said:
“Organisations leveraging RISE with SAP can quickly realise the value and agility of a digital core and business platform architecture in the cloud. HCL enhances this journey with its transformation and consulting services for SAP Factory+ offerings that facilitate rapid migrations to SAP S/4HANA, in addition to its modern integration and data architecture services.”
HCL has been a global strategic partner to SAP for over 18 years, co-innovating in the areas of SAP Leonardo, Blockchain, and SAP S4/HANA. With RISE with SAP, the alliance goes a step further exploring go-to-market initiatives that would help customers advance their cloud capabilities while ensuring scalability and security. Together, HCL and SAP will be able to deliver best-in-class solutions, services, and experiences to customers as they go through their digital transformation journey.
“The RISE with SAP offering helps simplify and accelerate our customers’ move to the cloud and will help deliver continuous innovation throughout their journey to become an intelligent enterprise,” Dr. Uwe Grigoleit, Senior Vice President and General Manager, SAP S/4HANA, SAP highlighted.
“Together with our strong ecosystem, we will help customers chart a course for their business transformation,” he added.
HCL continues to expand its market footprint with its recent official entry into Vietnam in December 2020, which means more organisations from the region to experience the RISE with SAP offering. Aside from the significant job opportunities, HCL’s operation in Vietnam is anticipated to bring advanced technology solutions to its global client base across several industries and verticals, including banking and financial services, healthcare, infrastructure, engineering, and cybersecurity.
