Cloud ERP Private and Cloud Application Services

Customers transitioning to Cloud ERP Private (RISE) maintain existing systems while concurrently developing and delivering new Cloud ERP implementations. Basic Cloud ERP Private (RISE) contracts depend on end-customer management above the infrastructure and network layers.

Cloud Application Services (CAS) are optional extras included in a Cloud ERP (RISE) contract to cover this gap for customers seeking a turn-key Cloud ERP solution. For customers already staffing and operating existing systems, CAS adds another layer of cost and management on top of what they’re already running.

Cover both – anywhere SAP runs – with Avantra, making SAP operations cost-efficient and unified across the entire SAP estate.

    Stop Cloud Bill Shock Before It Starts

    SAP BTP’s elastic pricing models create real financial risk when consumption goes unmonitored. Idle systems, oversized instances, and rogue processes can turn flexible cloud spend into an unbudgeted invoice. By applying FinOps discipline and automated monitoring across the BTP Cockpit, organizations can catch overage triggers early, right-size environments, and automatically pause idle non-production systems. The result: predictable cloud costs and budget preserved for productive investment instead of surprise bills.
