If You Are on the RISE with SAP, You Need a Trusty Sidekick

Every successful expedition requires the right combination of tools and team, especially that trusted partner who’s with you all the way. 

What’s RISE with SAP? 

RISE with SAP program is a comprehensive offering from SAP designed to simplify and accelerate the journey of SAP customers from their legacy SAP ERPs to the new S/4HANA cloud, private edition and public cloud. S/4HANA is the successor of the SAP Business Suite or SAP ECC, and they were on-premise solutions only and will be out of support by the end of 2027.

SAP recognizes companies’ challenges moving to S/4HANA by the end of 2027, and they need dedicated resources and support for their cloud adoption, a multi-year undertaking that is no simple task. Therefore, it formed the RISE with SAP program to ease its customers’ digital transition to the new cloud ERP and overcome the difficulties of cloud migration with a single contract for software and services. 

As you commence your cloud transformation journey in the RISE with SAP program, you’ll encounter S/4HANA’s limited job scheduling capabilities that require smart business process automation through an enterprise job scheduler—introducing RunMyJobs by Redwood, the #1 recommended job scheduler for SAP customers.

Why RunMyJobs Is The #1 Job Scheduler For SAP Customers

SAP with RISE customers may assume their current or all job schedulers will work with S/4HANA, but the reality is that not all of them are compatible with S/4HANA. You need an out-of-the-box, SAP-certified workload automation platform that won’t impede your transition. 

Integration and Flexibility

It’s important to choose a workload automation platform that can integrate seamlessly with S/4HANA, other SAP solutions, existing applications and the cloud services today and in the future. This includes cloud storage, data centers and other applications.

RunMyJobs allows immediate, seamless integration through native API connections to maintain a clean core. This approach simplifies the process, enabling businesses to leverage the advanced capabilities of S/4HANA fully. RunMyJobs also guarantees unlimited connectivity, covering SAP and non-SAP infrastructures and applications, addressing today’s needs and preemptively adapting to future demands. 

Scalability

When evaluating a new job scheduler solution consider its ability to handle workloads efficiently and effectively in the cloud environment or risk scalability issues with cloud infrastructure and applications. 

RunMyJobs is a native cloud platform with a guaranteed 99.95% SaaS uptime and zero-effort maintenance, so you can be confident to run millions of transactions daily and deliver the expected performance. With lightweight, self-updating agents compatible with Windows, Linux, AIX, macOS and more. Users have complete control over servers and script execution. RunMyJobs also simplifies load balancing and process prioritization for resource usage optimization, offering unmatched flexibility for streamlined workflows.

Migration 

Having a clear migration plan in place ensures a smooth transition from the old solution to the new one. This includes defining the scope of the migration, setting timelines and deadlines, and defining roles and responsibilities for each team member involved in the process.

With 30 years of in-house migration experience, RunMyJobs’s proven migration process minimizes time, effort and risk. Our team of experts will help lead your migration strategy, using tested tools and established processes to ensure a seamless, painless experience. RunMyJobs and your legacy product run in parallel to ensure no process disruptions during multiphase RISE migrations.

Training and Support

Employee training on a new workload automation solution and sufficient support is critical when transitioning to S/4HANA. 

RunMyJobs provides extensive training from the start, including instructor led onsite classes, on-demand e-learning courses, and hands-on, practical in-platform training. This ensures a thorough understanding of each step, captures every nuance, and enables proactive identification and resolution of potential obstacles. The comprehensive training and support ensure every user is knowledgeable, ready and capable of exploiting the full potential of RunMyJobs. You also get the highest SLAs in the industry with 24/7 availability and 15-minute response times and a dedicated support engineer oversees all your open tickets.

Security

We know the high importance of security, which must be a factor for any job scheduler.  Find out any potential job scheduler’s security protocols, compliance certifications and data protection policies to ensure that robust security measures are in place to keep your data and applications protected.

RunMyJobs maintains compliance at all times with best-in-class SaaS encryption and security policies. Adhering to strict security and compliance standards, Redwood’s certifications include: ISO 27001, ISAE 3402 Type II, SSAE 18 SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type II, TX-RAMP Provisional Certification and Cloud Security Alliance STAR Level 1.
