Press Release: December 18, 2025 | Category: IT, New Media and Software
Innovapte, a leader in specialized SAP transformation and technology services, is expanding its work with Riverside Natural Foods to strengthen SAP security and SAP Basis oversight on RISE with SAP, improving internal control and supporting a clean-core landscape. The engagement focuses on maintaining a clean core, improving access controls, and reducing reliance on external oversight for routine patching and maintenance.
Riverside Natural Foods, known for its strategic growth aspirations, sought highly specialized, senior technical expertise to scale its operations. Operating on the SAP RISE platform, the company initially faced two primary challenges: lacking internal senior expertise for SAP Basis oversight and needing to execute a fundamental overhaul of its legacy SAP security structure to enhance its security posture.
Innovapte embedded senior specialists who work as an extension of Riverside’s internal team. This ongoing partnership directly addressed Riverside’s needs, achieving significant, sustained outcomes:
Elimination of External Oversight Costs:
By embedding Innovapte’s expertise, Riverside successfully transitioned away from expensive external consulting contracts previously used to oversee mandatory SAP RISE patching and maintenance, achieving immediate cost savings and greater internal control.
Enhanced SAP Security Posture:
Innovapte was instrumental in the creation of quality security roles and the comprehensive redesign of the company’s security model. This initiative, which recently went live, ensures that employees have access only to the necessary functions, greatly improving the system’s overall security, compliance, and clean core journey. Innovapte continues to support the sustainment of this enhanced security model.
Madeleyne Vivanco, VP of Business Transformation and Technology at Riverside Natural Foods, praised the strategic relationship and expertise provided by the Innovapte team:
“The true value of Innovapte is their partnership approach. We lacked senior internal expertise in critical areas like SAP Basis and Security, and Innovapte provided resources that became an extension of our team. Through their nimble, down-to-earth collaboration, we successfully went live with our new security roles and are now managing our SAP RISE environment more effectively. They are genuine partners who consistently act in our best interests and deliver high-caliber expertise.”
Yogi Kalra, Founder and CEO of Innovapte Commented
“Riverside Natural Foods is focused on growth driven by leading practices and technology. We are proud to provide the precise senior expertise they need to secure their SAP foundation while empowering their internal teams to manage the environment efficiently. The result is continuous ROI across their digital transformation journey“.
