In this blog post marco.valencia provides detailed guidance for customers deploying RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition following a cloud mindset as follows: (1) Foster cloud mindset by adhering to fit-to-standard and agile deployment detailed in SAP Activate. Leverage SAP standard processes where possible. Deploy your solution incrementally with short sprints and releases. (2) Use pre-configured solutions with pre-defined processes and leverage SAP Fiori UX. (3) Ensure use of modern integration technologies, use APIs for integration. (4) Ensure use of modern extensibility technologies. Follow guide to Extend SAP S/4HANA in the cloud and on premise with ABAP based extensions. (5) Ensure transparency on deviations. Any deviation from the standard must be clearly documented as part of the implementation. It is recommended to establish a solution standardization board (SSB) in your project to control your extensions. Use standard capabilities of SAP Application Lifecycle Management tools to document the solution.
