Why did they do it?

• One of the first globally recognized enterprise brands to go live on S4 (July '21) and RISE (March ‘24); • Championing a Suite Approach with an existing wide landscape and adding multiple AI use cases and piloting BDC, Public Cloud. • Nearly nothing left On Prem and excellent Suite customer with current landscape as follows: Ariba, SAC, IBP, Concur, BTP, Signavio, S/4, MDG, BW4, BRIM, CM, CC

• A single global instance of S4 enabled HP to consolidate 13 different ERPs, greatly reducing data quality and availability issues while freeing up a significant number of IT resources • Improve SAP system performance and resilience while freeing up resources to focus on higher value add activities • RISE took it further by moving HP's mission critical SAP systems to a more secure, automated and proactively updated and maintained environment

How SAP solved a problem for the customer?

3 things that helped drive the strategy

• Reinforce RISE differentiation by sharing ECS delivery metrics: # of tickets, mean time to repair, number of S4 upgrades per week, etc. Followed by a presentation in Walldorf, and the sheer volume of proactive measures taken by ECS to manage RISE customer environments with so little downtime really impressed HP. • Communicating to HP leadership SAP’s strategy and intent: Strong and coordinated team messaging delivered by the account team, RISE global leadership and reiterated by CK : "SAP is committed to RISE and if RISE fails so too will SAP." Critical to addressing concerns HP had following an aborted attempt to deploy S4 on HEC. • Getting HP to devote resources for weeks of onsite RISE scoping before the business case was complete. Huge win as the scoping sessions were a critical component.

• HP was experiencing SAP downtime issues while managing SAP on AWS themselves.
