Accelerate your Journey to SAP with RISE
on Azure with Lemongrass Rise+
Challenge
SAP with RISE is a compelling solution for modern Enterprises running SAP who want to convert their
existing software licenses to a subscription model and leverage SAP for a complete managed service.
The challenge to adopting RISE is that it is designed as a platform for SAP S/4HANA only and typical
SAP landscapes have a rich and tightly integrated environment of SAP, non-SAP and legacy SAP
components that will never move to SAP S/4HANA yet are essential to the operation of the business.

SolutionLemongrass Rise+
With a proven track record of successfully migrating SAP environments to Azure, Lemongrass hasdeveloped a rapid, low-risk and economical migration path to RISE for customers seeking minimalfunctional change. Lemongrass Rise+ ensures that the process to migrate SAP systems and integrate
ancillary SAP and non-SAP systems is seamless and rapidly enables the benefits of the Cloud, including
accelerating the enablement of Azure-native tooling and services. This enables all the advantages of theAzure platform delivery model including a faster release pace and increased ease of management alongwith automation and innovation to integrate data from other systems.

SAP S/4HANA Express Labs
Our approach differs from the large system integrators in that, as part of our services, we leverage ourhighly automated SAP S/4HANA Labs, a combination of tools and services that allow customers toexperience their SAP ERP datasets on the latest live version of SAP S/4HANA on Azure quickly—sothat any remediation and complexity can be identified upfront. We couple this with an established 6R
migration strategy (Rehost, Replatform, Repurchase, Refactor, Retire and Retain) to map out a solutionthat enables a more holistic journey to Azure while enabling the commercial benefits of SAP with RISE.

Discovery and Impact LabsThe Discovery phase includes mapping key systems with high data gravity and connectivity to future state SAP
S/4HANA through a rapid migration prototyping methodology leveraging Lemongrass SAP S/4HANA Labs. SAP
Readiness Check for SAP S/4HANA is utilized to test and identify areas that need immediate remediation andcapture dependent non-SAP environments that need to be migrated along with the SAP systems.

Detailed Design and Migration PlanOnce the information is collected, a detailed migration plan is built for both SAP with RISE and any non-SAP
components leveraging our extensive migration experience including near zero downtime migration and minimal
viable functional remediation plan to get SAP S/4HANA production-ready in the least amount of time.
Next, the appropriate migration approaches for SAP and non-SAP systems are determined to balance downtime
duration, cost and transformation objectives. The migration approaches are combined with key milestones togenerate a migration schedule with a supporting migration cost. This includes appropriate landing zone design
and BTP configuration to connect with RISE managed systems.
In addition, the plan designates the appropriate systems compatible with RISE and outlines the plan for retaining
the non-RISE compatible systems. This could include Application Archiving for applicable systems.

Business CaseA thorough business case is delivered to support the remediation, migration, and transition to a RISE-compatible
Azure solution. The cost and a plan to provide ongoing support for key non-supported systems are also included.

Operating Model Plan
An operating model plan that incorporates strategic intent with operational capabilities provides a unified direction
for enterprises to optimize and extend end-to-end processes and enable the acceleration of innovation offered byAzure, both within and beyond their boundaries.
