Our approach: four areas of expertise for a controlled transformation

We support your end-to-end migrations to S/4HANA and the SAP cloud, from roadmap scoping and transition risk mitigation to integration with your existing environments. As a partner for the RISE and GROW with SAP programs, we help you determine the right migration pace based on your maturity and constraints.

3,000 SAP consultants across Europe and India, including 1,300 in France
60 Test & Demo environments for designing and validating Proofs of Concept across the entire SAP portfolio (on-premises and cloud)
Proven project governance combining industrialised service centers with local, in-country teams

In February 2026, Sopra Steria and SAP entered into a strategic alliance for digital sovereignty, signed at the Munich Security Conference.

At the heart of this partnership is the SAP Sovereign Cloud, a European cloud infrastructure designed for organizations where data control, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience are non-negotiable, such as defense, aerospace, public administration, and critical infrastructure.

As a strategic partner, Sopra Steria is one of the few providers authorised to operate in classified environments, with a security, governance, and accountability framework fully rooted in European law.

SAP Business AI, AI integrated into the SAP ecosystem, tangibly transforms your teams' daily operations: fewer manual tasks, better-informed decisions, and processes that adapt to actual usage.

Our teams help you leverage the AI capabilities of the SAP suite from SAP Joule (the AI agent natively integrated into SAP applications like S/4HANA, Signavio, Digital Supply Chain, and BTP) to advanced automation via SAP Build and SAP iRPA.

We provide tailored business demonstrations, allowing you to evaluate the benefits before making any commitment.

A successful SAP project also means an organization that fully embraces the tools for the long term. We continuously invest in certifying our expertise through SAP Education (SAP Learning Hub, SAP Education Plus) and implement change management strategies tailored to your teams.

Our delivery model, combining service centers with local teams, ensures performance, responsiveness, and cost control throughout every phase of your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

SAP S/4HANA is SAP’s next-generation ERP platform, built natively on the SAP HANA in-memory database.

Compared to SAP ECC6, it offers real-time analytics performance, a modernized user interface (SAP Fiori), a simplified architecture, and integration capabilities with AI and the cloud.

Migration has become urgent due to the scheduled end of standard maintenance for SAP ECC6 in 2027. Beyond this deadline, companies that have not migrated will have to purchase paid extended maintenance or face increasing security risks.

These strategies define the scope of the transformation you undertake during the migration.

Brownfield: You convert your existing SAP system to S/4HANA while retaining most of your configurations and data. The business impact is limited and the migration is faster, but you also inherit any complexities present in your current system.

Greenfield: You deploy an entirely new SAP S/4HANA system, relying as much as possible on standard SAP processes. The transformation is more profound but allows you to start fresh on a better foundation.

There is also a Bluefield approach (selective data transition), which combines the two.

Sopra Steria helps you choose the path best suited to your specific context, constraints, and ambitions.

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is the technology platform that connects and extends the entire SAP ecosystem.

It integrates AI capabilities directly applicable to your business processes:

Intelligent automation of repetitive tasks (accounting reconciliations, invoice processing, order management),
real-time analytics for faster decision-making,
generative AI applied to business data (automated drafting, classification, information extraction).

Our teams conduct tailored business demonstrations, particularly for the aerospace and public sectors, allowing you to evaluate the tangible benefits before making any commitment.

SAP Sovereign Cloud is a cloud infrastructure designed for organisations subject to stringent requirements regarding data control, regulatory compliance, and national security.

It ensures that data and operations remain under European sovereignty, governed by European law (GDPR, NIS2, DORA, etc).

This infrastructure is particularly relevant for defense and national security, aerospace, public administration, critical infrastructure, and any sector subject to high-level security certifications.

Sopra Steria is one of the few providers authorised to deploy SAP in classified environments, under a strategic alliance signed with SAP in February 2026.

RISE with SAP is an all-in-one subscription program that simplifies the migration to SAP S/4HANA in the cloud. It bundles the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition license, cloud infrastructure, business transformation tools (SAP Signavio, SAP BTP), and access to the SAP Activate project methodology into a single offering.

Its main advantage is that it reduces contractual complexity and accelerates project initiation. Sopra Steria is a certified RISE with SAP partner and supports various organisations in their transition through this program.
