Navigating SAP S/4HANA Modernization: Evaluating RISE with SAP versus Private Cloud
As SAP phases out mainstream support for SAP ERP 6.0 by 2027, enterprises are confronted with a strategic decision with regard to modernizing to SAP S/4HANA. This article compares two key transformation paths: RISE with SAP, a bundled, SAP-managed offering, and self-managed deployments on hyperscaler clouds. It explores trade-offs in control, complexity, cost transparency, and customization, supported by real-world examples such as embecta’s rapid ERP separation. While RISE with SAP simplifies operations and accelerates time to value, private cloud offers greater flexibility. The analysis helps CIOs assess which model aligns best with their digital maturity, operational priorities, and long-term transformation goals.
SAP Sapphire 2025: A Turning Point for AI-driven Enterprise Operations
At SAP Sapphire 2025, SAP unveiled a cohesive strategy to transform enterprise operations through embedded AI and unified data infrastructure. Central to this is the SAP Flywheel model, which allows applications, data, and AI to reinforce each other, enabling context-aware automation via Joule, SAP’s AI copilot. Joule extends across SAP and non-SAP systems, improving decision-making in users’ daily workflows. Supporting this is the Business Data Cloud, a unified, open data platform designed to eliminate fragmentation and fuel intelligent applications. With partnerships including Palantir and Adobe, SAP is aligning its architecture for the AI era, turning siloed data into real-time, cross-functional intelligence.
The Illusion of AI Sovereignty: Washington and Beijing Still Pull the Strings
A new wave of digital nationalism is sweeping through public policy and enterprise boardrooms. Countries including France, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Singapore, and India are doubling down on sovereign AI. They are investing in localized data ecosystems, region-specific LLMs, national AI clouds, and stricter compliance regimes. No nation today enjoys absolute, full-stack AI sovereignty. Rather than chasing total independence, the trend is toward layered sovereignty: choosing which parts of the stack to control, influence, outsource, or codevelop. The sovereign AI game is not binary; it is composable. In the coming decade, national AI strategies will be defined not by what a country builds alone but by what it chooses to own, protect, and shape on its own terms.
