More and more Indian businesses are turning to the SAP RISE program – the German tech giant’s Business Transformation as a Service (BTaaS) milestone offering – to help them transform their operations and drive digital transformation.
According to SAP Indian Subcontinent President and Managing Director Kulmeet Bawa, India has been leading all countries in terms of SAP growth. In an interview with Mint, he said that India was the top Asia-Pacific (APAC) business region for seven consecutive quarters. Bawa went on the say that for the eighth straight quarter, India will have the greatest growth rate and largest contribution to the Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) business.
Detailing more about the country’s contribution to RISE with SAP, Bawa shared:
“Globally, we’re contributing 13-15% to SAP’s RISE business division (Cloud ERP), which is big for a country the size of India. We’ve doubled our cloud customers in the past two years.”
The SAP RISE program is a cloud-based, subscription-based service that helps businesses accelerate their digital transformation journey. It provides access to a suite of tools and services that can help businesses optimize their operations, drive innovation, and improve customer experience.
As the SAP Indian Subcontinent MD put it, RISE with SAP is the preferred method for clients to move SAP workloads to the cloud. With hyperscaler cloud providers merely offering the underlying infrastructure, he said this has helped SAP expand and accelerate its growth.
“Yes, there is hybrid cloud adoption, and there are firms running on more than one cloud solution, but most are looking to standardize. Clients want agility and a single point of contact to deal with it,” Bawa added.
The year 2022 marked a tipping point in India’s embrace of cloud computing. SAP still sees India as a key market in terms of both business and innovation. Engineering, construction, life sciences and pharma, consumer packaged goods and retail, and information technology and related services (IT-ITeS) are just few of the areas that have seen rapid adoption of cloud computing.
SAP had massive expansion across all market segments, from the large segment to the small and medium-sized enterprises. Big companies like Mahindra & Mahindra, Wipro Limited, and HCLTech have all migrated their key digital operations to the cloud. Another Indian company that has recently utilized RISE with SAP to change its digital scene on the cloud is Best Value Chem Private Limited.
