RISE with SAP and Avantra

The background to the birth of Rise 
 
SAP has had a long, rich history. From its start in the R/1 days, through to R/3 and into the netweaver stack. It was specifically designed to run on various operating systems and databases, a decision that came back to bite them later on as they watched the Oracle database become the number one database for SAP to run on, yet also one of their competitors. 
 
For this, and other reasons, SAP acquired/created their own database, SAP HANA, which they still look to get 100% customer adoption on. Alongside all of this SAP has been acquiring other enterprise applications such as Business Objects onto solutions like Ariba, Success Factors, and so on. Through all of this SAP became the goliath in the market. A powerhouse of both a solution and company, but slow to evolve and adjust. 
 
For some, this can sound negative, but for massive organizations with huge SAP landscapes, this may mean safety, security, stability - and an overall ‘robustness’ that doesn’t come with little solutions that may be seen as nimble today but completely gone tomorrow.
