Overview

Where we step in

SAP wants every customer on RISE before the 2027 maintenance cliff. We step in when the RISE quote lands, when Digital Access documents get counted, and when the migration timeline becomes the vendor’s leverage instead of yours.

Frequently asked questions

Questions buyers ask us first

Do we have to move to RISE?

No. The 2027 maintenance dates create pressure, but on premise, RISE, and hybrid paths all have negotiable economics. The right answer depends on your estate, not SAP's quota.

What is Digital Access exposure really worth?

Document counts are negotiable at conversion, and classification is where the money moves. Never accept the first count.

When should we engage before a RISE renewal?

Nine to twelve months out, before SAP's year end. Credits and corridor pricing are set early in the cycle.

Are you independent of SAP?

Completely. No reseller margin, no vendor money. Buyer side only.
