What did they do?

Why did they do it?

ABInBev needed a scalable and innovative digital solution to manage its global operations efficiently. Main Drivers to adopt RISE: 1) Adopt RISE with SAP to enable strategy alignment for continuous improvements, innovation and to maximize RoI from investment in SAP. 2) Transition eligible Aurora systems to RISE with SAP over next two years, starting 2024. 3) Focus on fit-to-standard and clean core to optimize the transformation investment. 4) Leverage RISE with SAP for future rollouts, starting with India. 5) Transition to a flexible, cloud subscription model to optimize 'run' costs 6) Transition from current on-premise, perpetual software licensing to cloud subscription model incrementally over next 5 years

Over the course of two years, we successfully elevated our relationship SAP-AB InBev, aligning business goals with SAP’s Cloud-First infrastructure (RISE), streamlining operations and enable digital transformation. Resulting in the deployment of 50+ systems running on RISE in only 9 months!.
