Hey everyone. Wishing health and happiness as always at the start of my blogs. Happiness is a mind set. Ok, let's get after it... This might be the easiest blog that I have written in years. Topic: SAP Activate methodology. What about it? It is Innovation-as-a-Service concept that is constantly evolving through direct customer and partner feedback and our process of being in lock step in the end-to-end content sprint lifecycle process with our SAP S/4HANA Cloud product teams.
We have received a lot of feedback from customers and partners alike about 'all things' SAP S/4HANA Cloud and 'all things' SAP Activate cloud deployment methodology. So we decided to blog about it. I am going to highlight some of the past two weeks of blog posts from the SAP Activate methodology team. They are made up of great summaries of some of our most asked about terms and topic scenarios in SAP deployment projects.
Here are just a few that have made my blog post here highlight list:
Two of the biggest topics on our mind today is “Rise with SAP” and “SAP Activate“. If you are a consultant or Project Manager of software implementations, you for sure have heard of SAP Activate. SAP Activate is SAP’s implementation methodology that has evolved from our previous methodology name, SAP Launch. Read how we here at SAP think what our customers really need is Business Transformation-as-a-Service. Together with our ecosystem of customers and partners, we are bundling everything companies need to holistically transform their business with a faster time to value — at their own speed and terms, regardless of their starting point. It simplifies our customers’ journey in three simple steps. Check it out.
Read how Dan discusses RISE with SAP and how it allows our customers to embark on the journey to the Intelligent Enterprise using a bundle of products, tools and services.
