Your reliable, secure, and cost-effective way to the cloud
Energy providers are expected to maintain consistent delivery at all times. However, they face rapidly changing conditions, including:
- Energy transition and emerging competitors
- Regulatory standards and a shortage of skilled labor
- Increasing customer expectations alongside digital technologies
These factors are converging, placing significant pressure on business processes to evolve. Ensuring safety, affordability, and environmental sustainability is essential, not optional.
Furthermore, SAP plans to end support for legacy on-premise systems (ECC) by the close of 2027, marking a major shift for the energy sector. Concurrently, innovative applications like SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and SAP Sustainability will be available solely as cloud-based solutions.
msg is here to help you navigate these transitions with RISE with SAP, providing integrated cloud solutions that streamline processes, enhance flexibility, and foster innovation—guiding you towards a secure digital future, one step at a time.

RISE with SAP: Key questions and their answers
RISE with SAP is a comprehensive service that provides preconfigured tools and solutions, enabling swift access to SAP's premier ERP SAP S/4HANA Cloud, along with various other offerings.
The extensive flexibility and customization options enable organizations to not only implement standard solutions but also retain their unique data and processes. With RISE with SAP, organizations can enjoy the benefits of a private cloud while still leveraging the reliable processes from their existing systems.
Through the AWS Cloud, msg provides access to a premier cloud that has earned the trust of millions of customers for more than 17 years. Additionally, the comprehensive range of features encompasses cutting-edge applications in AI, IoT, and analytics.
Security remains paramount for utilities, particularly for critical infrastructure firms (KRITIS). Managing sensitive operations and data demands the highest level of diligence, especially when such information is processed beyond the company's internal IT systems.
Our solution: Rise with SAP into combination with AWS Private Cloud. Here you maintain full control at all times—over your infrastructure, your data, and its security.
In the AWS Private Cloud, your IT environment operates within a dedicated network that is exclusively accessible to you, located in a specifically defined region.
Your benefits:
- Complete authority over access permissions, data storage, and encryption
- Exclusive infrastructure without third-party sharing
- Optimal security paired with the ease of cloud utilization
This approach ensures that your digital infrastructure remains both highly available and scalable, while also adhering to top-tier data protection standards and KRITIS compliance.
Organizations run their infrastructure and applications within the private cloud on their own network, hosted by AWS as the cloud service provider. In contrast, in the public cloud, multiple customers share the same network infrastructure and hardware resources.
AWS offers the highest security and the greatest range of solutions and services. For 12 years in a row, Gartner has acknowledged it as the leading cloud provider in the market.
Businesses maintain complete authority over their data management and security, all while enjoying the latest updates and cutting-edge technologies offered by the AWS Cloud.
Transitioning to SAP S/4HANA Cloud involves integrating external suppliers and partner organizations, alongside enhancing the quality of master data.
To facilitate this, we create a migration roadmap early on to optimize current processes and outline a step-by-step implementation plan.
An additional key factor is the training of your staff and the implementation of change management measures. We assist you in fostering and enhancing the internal acceptance of the new system.
Our msg.FIT service offers an in-depth analysis of your SAP systems, covering the complete system architecture and all active components.
msg.FIT not only lays the groundwork for an SAP S/4HANA migration but also reveals opportunities for optimization in system organization, usage, customization, authorizations, licensing, and development.
