Three offices, one RISE negotiation bench.

Buyer side SAP RISE negotiation is a global discipline. Our partners work from New York, London, and Stockholm, covering the SAP regional account structures that drive most enterprise pricing decisions. Every engagement is staffed by partners with direct RISE deal experience in the relevant region.

New York

The New York office anchors our North American practice. RISE with SAP proposals for US listed enterprises route through SAP America, and most quarter end pricing campaigns are timed against the SAP fiscal calendar maintained in Newtown Square. Our New York partners have negotiated more than 220 enterprise RISE engagements covering manufacturing, financial services, life sciences, and consumer goods sectors.

The team focuses on RISE proposal interception, seven year TCO modelling against US hyperscaler pricing (AWS US East, US West, and Azure East US), and FUE conversion negotiation where Named User counts are being remapped. Where a client maintains SAP entities in both the US and Canada, the New York office coordinates a single negotiation rhythm to prevent SAP from running parallel campaigns through two account teams.

London

The London office serves the UK, Ireland, and the broader EMEA enterprise market. SAP UK runs many of the largest RISE proposals across financial services, energy, retail, and public sector, and the legal framework around RISE order forms in the UK differs in subtle but material ways from US and continental Europe deals. Our London partners have closed RISE negotiations across the FTSE 100 and large privately held UK groups.

The team focuses on RISE contract review under English law, brownfield versus RISE comparison for clients with significant on premise estates, and hyperscaler selection where Azure UK South, AWS Europe London, and Azure UK West reserved capacity pricing is in play. The London office also covers GROW with SAP engagements for mid market UK groups assessing the public cloud variant of S/4HANA Cloud.

Stockholm

The Stockholm office covers the Nordic region (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland) and the DACH market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) for clients who require continental European coverage. SAP runs major RISE campaigns out of Walldorf, and the Stockholm partners maintain working relationships with SAP regional account leadership across the Nordics and DACH. RISE proposals from Walldorf often arrive with different commitment structures than US proposals, and our Stockholm team specialises in interpreting those structures for buyers.

The team focuses on RISE multi entity contracting for Nordic groups with operations across Germany and the United Kingdom, indirect and Digital Access exposure assessments under EU data residency rules, and hyperscaler selection where Azure Sweden Central, AWS Europe Stockholm, and Azure West Europe reserved capacity is being evaluated. The Stockholm office handles engagements in English, Swedish, and German.

How global engagements run

For multinational clients, a single lead partner owns the engagement and pulls in regional partners for jurisdictional review. SAP global accounts often run regional pricing differently, and a buyer who negotiates only out of one geography typically leaves between five and twelve percent of available concessions on the table. Across 500 engagements, the firm has identified a recurring pattern where multi region clients gain leverage by aligning their renewal calendar to a single global date rather than negotiating piecemeal.

All three offices share the same negotiation playbook, the same TCO model framework, and the same hyperscaler benchmark library. The team that fronts your account team is whichever combination of partners brings the right regional and sector experience to the table.

RISE with SAP is sold globally. It must be negotiated globally. A single bench is the only model that captures the leverage available to multinational buyers.

Open a briefing.

If you have a live RISE proposal, a pending renewal, or an exploratory question about whether RISE is the right path, we will schedule a confidential briefing with the partner closest to your region and sector. There is no preparation required for the first conversation. Bring the proposal if you have it.

Every conclusion above sits on top of work we routinely deliver inside our SAP RISE negotiation services. If the questions in this piece are live on your desk, the same bench is available to run them through with you in a closed working session.
