Accelerate your business with GROW with SAP
GROW with SAP is designed to help small and midsize companies scale efficiently using SAP’s SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. This program is crucial for businesses needing to move to a cloud ERP system that offers standardized best-in-class business processes that can help them optimize their operations. With continuous innovation and scalability, GROW with SAP ensures that companies can keep up with industry best practices and maintain a competitive edge as their business expands.
GROW with SAP overview
To deliver cloud ERP adoption with speed, predictability and continuous innovation, GROW includes pre-configured processes and methodologies.
Key features of GROW with SAP include:
- Scalability: Suitable for midsize companies and scaleups to ensure seamless growth
- Standardization: Enhances efficiency by leveraging pre-configured business process automation
- Cloud ERP: Leverages S/4HANA Cloud built on the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) to optimize operations
- Continuous innovation: Provides access to the latest updates and industry-specific solutions
Differences between GROW with SAP and RISE with SAP
While both GROW with SAP and RISE with SAP aim to facilitate digital transformation, they cater to different business scenarios. GROW is primarily for new SAP customers with no prior SAP environment, while RISE is for the existing install base.
GROW with SAP is specially designed for small to medium-sized companies currently running a non-SAP on-premise legacy ERP, or in some cases no real ERP at all, and wanting to move to a world-class cloud-based ERP system. A key driver is having all the capabilities to accelerate your business with the latest industry best practices and continuous innovation in the cloud that larger enterprises enjoy. These options offer scalable solutions that allow businesses to adapt quickly to their growing needs. GROW with SAP is ideal for companies seeking a straightforward, scalable cloud ERP solution with predictable costs and minimal complexity.
RISE with SAP targets larger enterprises with more complex requirements, especially those on prior versions of SAP on-premise ERP solutions, to migrate seamlessly to the cloud. RISE with SAP provides an AI-enabled cloud ERP managed and optimized by SAP. It provides services and tools built on the clean core approach by SAP, so you can migrate on-premise systems, transform business processes, drive continuous innovation and unlock cloud agility.
Different cloud environments
GROW exclusively uses SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, targeting SMEs with a focus on simplicity, speed of deployment, and adherence to standard best practices. While SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition is also available within RISE with SAP and suitable for some organizations, the Private Edition is more frequently chosen by large enterprises due to its flexibility, customization options, and control over the deployment environment.
Public cloud
A public cloud deployment provides cost-efficiency and scalability, which is particularly beneficial for businesses looking to minimize IT overhead. Key benefits include:
- Cost efficiency: Reduced capital expenditure with a pay-as-you-go model, eliminating the need for significant upfront investment in hardware
- Scalability: Easily scale resources up or down based on demand, ensuring optimal performance during peak times without over-provisioning
- Maintenance: Managed services reduce the burden on internal IT teams, allowing them to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine maintenance tasks
By leveraging a public cloud model for GROW with SAP, SMEs benefit from a simplified, cost-effective and scalable solution that aligns with their needs for rapid deployment, minimal customization and easy management. The public cloud’s benefits in terms of cost, agility, and maintenance make it the ideal choice for the small to mid-sized business segment targeted by GROW.
