How much does SAP RISE advisory cost?
SAP RISE advisory from Redress is a fixed fee agreed up front, or a success fee of 25 percent of what we save you. You keep 75 percent, and if we save nothing you pay nothing. We never bill by the hour.
Do we have to move to RISE with SAP?
No. ECC mainstream maintenance ends on December 31, 2027, and extended maintenance runs to 2030, so on premise, RISE, and hyperscaler paths all have negotiable economics. Part of the engagement is confirming whether RISE is the right answer at all.
What is an FUE and why does the count matter?
A Full Use Equivalent is the unit RISE pricing is built on, converting your user types into one metric. In our 2024 and 2025 files, SAP's proposed FUE count sat 22 to 38 percent above what transaction logs supported, and an inflated count compounds for the whole subscription term.
What exit terms should a RISE contract include?
Termination rights, data export at a defined cost and format, transition assistance, and clarity on your license position if you leave RISE. Without them, the next renewal starts with SAP holding all the options.
When should we start before signing or renewing RISE?
Start nine to twelve months out, before SAP's year end. Credits, corridor pricing, and escalator caps are cheapest to secure early, and the cap is far harder to retrofit after signature.
Are you independent of SAP and its RISE partners?
Yes. We have zero vendor affiliations, no reseller agreements, and no referral fees, and no implementation revenue waits behind a signed RISE order. If the right answer is not RISE, that is the answer you get.
What will SAP do during a RISE negotiation?
Expect pressure timed to its quarter end and December year end, bundled products at close to list, and sometimes an audit or indirect access claim folded into the deal. We separate those threads so each is negotiated on its own evidence.
What do you need from us, and how fast do we see results?
The RISE proposal, your current order forms and contracts, user and role data, and recent USMM and LAW output. The commercial review report lands within 10 business days of complete data.
