What is RISE with SAP? 

RISE with SAP is an offering that provides a holistic approach to help organizations to transform their business operations by combining SAP’s cloud technologies and services into one package. RISE with SAP is designed to provide businesses with a path to the intelligent enterprise, which is a next-generation business model that leverages advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT) to automate processes, improve decision-making, and create new business models.

RISE with SAP includes a range of services such as business process redesign, technical migration to SAP S/4HANA, integration with other applications, and ongoing support for the entire technology stack. It also includes access to the SAP Business Network, which connects businesses with partners and customers to facilitate collaboration and commerce. 
RISE with SAP is designed to provide businesses with a faster time to value by streamlining the implementation process and reducing the overall complexity and cost of digital transformation. It is an all-in-one offering that enables businesses to leverage the power of SAP’s cloud technologies and services to achieve their digital transformation goals. 

RISE with SAP offers two deployment options: Public Cloud and Private Cloud. 

RISE with SAP Public Cloud: This is a multi-tenant cloud offering that enables businesses to run their operations on SAP’s cloud infrastructure. In the Public Cloud implementation, businesses share the same infrastructure, but their data is isolated from each other. This deployment option offers faster deployment times, lower total cost of ownership, and automatic upgrades.

RISE with SAP Private Cloud: This is a single-tenant cloud offering that enables businesses to run their operations on a dedicated SAP cloud infrastructure. In the Private Cloud implementation, businesses have more control over their data and systems, including customizations and integrations. This deployment option offers higher levels of security and customization than the Public Cloud. 

The five key components of RISE with SAP are: 

  1. SAP S/4HANA Cloud: This is SAP’s next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, which provides a single source of truth for financial, supply chain, and other business processes. It is built on the SAP HANA in-memory database and leverages advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning to automate processes and improve decision-making. 
  2. Business Process Intelligence: This component provides businesses with a comprehensive view of their processes, including data analysis and visualization tools to help identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement. It enables businesses to optimize their processes for maximum efficiency and productivity. 
  3. SAP Business Technology Platform: This is SAP’s cloud platform, which provides a range of services such as data integration, analytics, and application development tools. It enables businesses to build and deploy custom applications and integrations to extend the functionality of their existing systems. 
  4. SAP Business Network: This is a digital network that connects businesses with their customers, suppliers, and partners. It enables businesses to collaborate and transact with their network in a secure and efficient manner. 
  5. SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud: This is SAP’s cloud offering for businesses that require a dedicated, single-tenant environment. It provides the same functionality as SAP S/4HANA Cloud but with additional control and security features. It enables businesses to leverage the benefits of the cloud while maintaining control over their data and systems.

How to use the SAP API Business Hub and APIs to connect to SAP S/4HANA

What is SAP API?

The SAP API Business Hub is a cutting-edge platform that gives organizations and developers access to the power of APIs. It enables instant access to a wide range of SAP APIs for interaction with their cloud and on-premises solutions, enabling users to build apps quickly and affordably.

Role of SAP API business Hub:

The SAP API Business Hub makes it simple to locate the best API for SAP S/4HANA systems. There is a wide range of content there, including knowledge and API documentation for (Representational State Transfer) REST/OData or SOAP APIs. The SAP API Business Hub online portal program facilitates the downloading and (partial) testing of APIs.

Depending on the type of API, the associated API descriptions are provided in either WSDL or so-called “Swagger” files (Web Services Description Language).

SAP S/4HANA and the SAP API Business Hub are supported by Denpro Technologies:

Denpro technologies Integration Suite (BIS) can use Web service, REST, or HTTP clients to call APIs from the SAP API Business Hub. During integration, a variety of formats like OData/REST, SOAP, and JSON are supported. In order to facilitate integration with SAP satellite systems, non-SAP systems, and all external connections from a single digital integration platform, Denpro technologies offers an independent integration platform.

As with earlier SAP ERP and database versions, Denpro Technologies fully supports SAP S/4HANA, guaranteeing the greatest possible investment protection. It is obvious that the SAP API Business Hub will offer more opportunities in the future to connect SAP with outside business partners. This might be helpful in a variety of cases, depending on the APIs that SAP is currently providing.

It makes a lot of sense to use hybrid integration with API Management, which provides a variety of extra options for both internal connections to non-SAP systems and external connections via APIs. With the aid of such a hybrid integration platform, the connection between SAP S/4HANA and the actual B2B/EDI solution (which communicates externally with business partners), for instance, can be converted from IDoc to APIs.

Support of All API interfaces for SAP S/4 HANA

All interfaces, including the SAP S/4HANA APIs currently available, are supported by Denpro technologies. Standard solutions for the new interfaces using predefined mappings and solutions will be accessible as soon as the necessary APIs are made available in the SAP API Business Hub.

As an integrating interface for S/4HANA in the SAP Public Cloud, the SAP HANA Cloud Platform Integration Service from SAP SCP is frequently used.

A Denpro technologies offers extensive SAP understanding and years of SAP collaboration experience. Since we already have our own SAP S/4HANA implementation set up, testing new API versions is a breeze. In addition, SAP S/4HANA is connected to both existing procedures and more contemporary, cutting-edge technologies via a hybrid integration platform (HIP). This provides our consumers with a high level of investment protection. Organizations have the option to advance their integration thanks to APIs that are future-compatible. Furthermore, functionality can be expanded outside with the help of useful API management tools.
