What is GROW with SAP?
GROW with SAP (also known as GROW SAP) is a program that enables the rapid and easy implementation of SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud. The solution offers various preconfigured best practices and state-of-the-art technologies to support corporate growth. It aims at providing the agility needed for meeting the dynamic requirements of the market through flexible, scalable and cost-efficient cloud technologies.
What are the benefits of GROW with SAP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition?
GROW with SAP does not only offer the option of accelerating digital transformation, but also integrates itself seamlessly into existing SAP products and extends business processes through state-of-the-art technologies, such as SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). This enables companies to optimize their business processes without depending on expensive IT infrastructures. Added value can immediately be generated using preconfigured best practices. Moreover, comprehensive professional support is available ensuring the speedy and efficient implementation of the solution.
1. Flexibility and scalability:
GROW with SAP enables companies to adjust and scale their resources as required. This is particularly precious for growing enterprises that wish to extend their processes flexibly without high hardware or infrastructure investments. Using the Public Cloud solution, business processes can quickly be extended and adjusted.
2. Cost efficiency:
The Sofware-as-a-Service (SaaS) model by GROW with SAP provides companies with the option of only paying services they actually require. This does not only reduce the operating costs, but also makes companies flexible enough to invest their financial resources in important core areas.
For medium-sized companies in particular, this is a crucial advantage in remaining competitive.
3. Seamless integration:
GROW with SAP integrates itself seamlessly into existing SAP solutions including, for instance, Sales Cloud V2, which enables the implementation of end-to-end processes. This integration creates continuous transparency and facilitates decision making by offering a holistic overview of corporate processes.
4. Security and data management:
SAP guarantees that GROW with SAP corresponds to the highest security standards and offers a robust data management infrastructure. Companies benefit from comprehensive data protection with all international compliance requirements being met at the same time. This is of particular importance for industries that have to process sensitive data.
5. Fast implementation and expert support:
A great advantage of GROW with SAP is the fast implementation due to preconfigured best practices. Companies can quickly switch to the cloud solution and, at the same time, get comprehensive expert support ensuring a smooth and efficient implementation.
6. Artificial intelligence and automation:
GROW with SAP uses state-of-the-art technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), in order to automate processes, such as demand planning or inventory management. These technologies help to considerably increase efficiency and minimize manual tasks.
Cloud ERP solutions enable companies to scale their resources and capacities as required. This is particularly important for growing enterprises that wish to extend their processes without expensive hardware or IT infrastructure investments. GROW with SAP provides the necessary flexibility to extend and adjust business processes quickly and efficiently.
What does GROW with SAP include?
With SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, “GROW with SAP” offers a holistic and innovative ERP platform specially tailored for the needs of fast-growing enterprises and medium-sized companies. It focuses on high-performance functions such as financial management, sales management, supply chain and procurement management, which enable the smooth integration with other SAP products.
The solution is available in two variants:
How is billing carried out?
Similar to other SAP Cloud offers, GROW with SAP uses a subscription-based payment model. This means that companies pay a regular and predictable fee covering access to SAP S/4HANA Cloud and additional resources such as support and upgrades. The subscription costs depend on factors such as company size or on specific usage requirements. This approach helps companies manage their budgets by avoiding high preliminary costs and being in accordance with the scalability and flexibility of cloud-based solutions.
Is GROW with SAP with the Public Cloud solution suitable for all companies?
The Public Cloud solution offers standardized services and infrastructures aiming at a broad target group. These solutions may be insufficient for companies with specific or highly adapted requirements as the flexibility for adjusting the systems is limited. Companies requiring highly individualized workflows or specialized software may reach their limits here.
To find this out, SAP has developed its Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA) solution. It checks the availability of the required processes in the public cloud. The result of Digital Discovery Assessment provides a well-founded recommendation on whether the public cloud solution is appropriate or whether the requirements can be better met by the private cloud solution.
A hybrid cloud solution could also be a solution for companies to keep control and, at the same time, benefit from cloud advantages.
How does the Cloud ERP implementation work?
GROW with SAP can be implemented quickly and efficiently. Preconfigured best practices and processes help companies quickly put their Cloud ERP solution into operation. This enables a swift creation of added value and reduces risks at the same time. Companies do not only benefit from technology, but also from customized services and extensive expert support and assistance. GROW with SAP offers companies access to a comprehensive network of partners that provide them with professional assistance when implementing the solution.
