RISE with SAP Explained: Contract Negotiation Guide, Pricing Model & Hidden Risks

Thinking about signing a RISE with SAP contract? Before you do, watch this.

RISE with SAP promises a “simplified” cloud subscription model — but the reality is far more complex. In this video, we break down how RISE with SAP licensing works, what’s included in the bundle, and how to negotiate better pricing and flexibility before committing.

You’ll learn:

What the Full Usage Equivalent (FUE) model means for your costs

Why RISE contracts increase long-term lock-in and vendor control

How to secure license credits for your existing SAP investments

Which clauses to negotiate — renewal caps, true-downs, and exit rights

When RISE makes sense vs staying on traditional SAP licensing

Insight: RISE isn’t cheaper — it’s just differently expensive. The key is to structure the contract so it serves your business strategy, not SAP’s sales goals.

At Redress Compliance, we help enterprises model, benchmark, and negotiate RISE with SAP contracts to secure the best commercial and strategic outcomes.
