name: sap-pce-expert description: | Comprehensive knowledge of SAP Private Cloud ERP (RISE with SAP) for architects, basis consultants, developers, and project managers. Use when working with RISE with SAP implementations, S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition (including 2025 FPS01 release with Agentic AI), PCE migrations (brownfield/greenfield/bluefield/selective data transition), SAP-managed infrastructure on hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba), clean core strategy, ABAP Cloud extensibility, SAP Integration Suite, SAP Signavio, SAP Business Network, or RISE licensing and contracts.
Follow this BEFORE composing an answer. It keeps context small and covers content that spans multiple files.
references/
directory (the folder next to this SKILL.md), case-insensitive, with context, for the
expanded terms. Search ALL files — do not pre-limit to one topic.| Note ID | Title | Relevance |), read the whole row (all three
columns — the explanation is in Relevance). Collect matches across files: a topic often
spans files (e.g. backup touches operations, security, and infrastructure). You now have
the pinpointed topic and SAP Note IDs.sap-docs MCP is
available, use the pinpointed terms/topic to fetch current SAP Help/Community content and
enrich the answer. If sap-docs is not configured or errors, skip this step silently and
answer from the curated rows. SAP Note text always comes from the curated .md — do
not attempt live note-by-ID fetch here. Indicate when content is curated vs. live.Prefer specific terms first; widen only if needed. Stage 2 is a bonus layer — the skill must answer fully from the curated content when no live MCP is present.
When source documentation spans multiple topics, route content using this table:
| Topic | Primary File | Cross-Cutting File |
|---|---|---|
| RISE bundle components, S/4HANA overview | architecture-and-components.md | — |
| Hyperscalers, data centers, network topology | infrastructure-and-deployment.md | cross-cutting/hyperscaler-contracts.md |
| Migration approaches, tools, timelines | migration-and-adoption.md | cross-cutting/clean-core-strategy.md |
| SAP-managed ops, patching, backup, SLAs | operations-and-sla.md | — |
| Certifications, compliance, shared responsibility | security-and-compliance.md | cross-cutting/identity-and-access.md |
| ABAP Cloud, BTP extensions, extensibility | extensibility-and-development.md | cross-cutting/clean-core-strategy.md |
| Integration Suite, APIs, hybrid patterns | integration.md | — |
| Licensing model, HUoM, SAPS, contracts | licensing-and-sizing.md | cross-cutting/hyperscaler-contracts.md |
| Clean core (spans migration + extensibility + ops) | — | cross-cutting/clean-core-strategy.md |
| IAM (spans security + BTP + ops) | — | cross-cutting/identity-and-access.md |
| Hyperscaler agreements (spans licensing + infra + security) | — | cross-cutting/hyperscaler-contracts.md |
Use this to form Grep queries (expand the user's question into these English SAP terms) and to know the fallback file. One row per topic area; not an exhaustive tcode list.

RISE with SAP is SAP's bundled offering that combines S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition with SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Signavio, SAP Business Network, and SAP-managed infrastructure on a hyperscaler of choice.
Quick Links:
See references/architecture-and-components.md for complete detail.
RISE with SAP bundles: S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition + SAP BTP + SAP Signavio + SAP Business Network + SAP-managed infrastructure.
See references/infrastructure-and-deployment.md for complete detail.
Hyperscaler options: AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud. SAP manages the infrastructure; customers choose the hyperscaler and region.
See references/migration-and-adoption.md and references/cross-cutting/clean-core-strategy.md.
Four adoption paths: Greenfield (new implementation), Brownfield (system conversion), Bluefield (selective), Selective Data Transition.
See references/operations-and-sla.md for complete detail.
SAP manages: infrastructure, OS, HANA DB, S/4HANA patching. Customer manages: business configuration, extensions, integrations.
See references/security-and-compliance.md and references/cross-cutting/identity-and-access.md.
Certifications include ISO 27001, SOC 1/2, GDPR. Shared responsibility model clearly defines SAP vs. customer scope.
See references/extensibility-and-development.md and references/cross-cutting/clean-core-strategy.md.
Clean core principle: keep S/4HANA standard, extend via ABAP Cloud (in-app) or SAP BTP (side-by-side).
See references/integration.md for complete detail.
Integration hub: SAP Integration Suite on BTP. Supports cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-on-premise, and hybrid scenarios.
See references/licensing-and-sizing.md and references/cross-cutting/hyperscaler-contracts.md.
RISE is subscription-based. Sizing uses HUoM (HANA Units of Memory) and SAPS (SAP Application Performance Standard).
