We will guide you through the process of assessing the suitability of the RISE with SAP solution for your company.

What is Digital Discovery Assessment at RISE with SAP?

The Digital Discovery Assessment for those interested in the RISE with SAP package is aimed at providing detailed information and analysis for companies considering using the RISE with SAP transformation package.

The Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA) process for RISE with SAP focuses on specific aspects and needs related to the use of the tools and services included in RISE with SAP.

DDA aka Digital Discovery Assessment

What does Digital Discovery Assessment with RISE with SAP involve?

SAP DDA is a tool used in the DISCOVER phase of SAP project implementation. Its main purpose is to help companies define the scope of their project and decide on the right SAP S/4HANA operating module – in the public cloud (Public Edition), in the private cloud (Private Edition) or as a retention of the existing on-premise solution.

The DDA helps to assess criteria such as scalability, infrastructure, cost and range of features in order to select the most suitable option.

In the Pre-Selection Package, for example, SAP allows customers to choose from more than 650 scope items (functionality) available for the public cloud:

  • The Baseline Package includes key end-to-end processes in the areas of sales, finance and purchasing. In this baseline package you will find the Invoice to Cash, Order to Fulfill, Record to Report and Procure to Receipt processes.
  • Finance-Led ERP is a package that includes important standard processes for corporate financial management, which also include some functions in purchasing and sales.
  • Service-Centric ERP incorporates SAP’s central best practices for financial management, and thus for the operation of the administrative ERP system, but also for project-related functions, services and some selected industries.
  • Product Centric ERP contains standard SAP products for manufacturing and sales and includes key functions such as production and sales of manufacturing goods from the warehouse.
