How SAP’s ERP Offering — GROW with SAP — Accelerates Digital Transformation for Companies

In a dynamic global market, mid-sized companies in the professional services sector play a key role, offering specialized solutions to their clients that drive growth and innovation. Thanks to their adaptability and flexibility, these companies successfully thrive in a competitive international environment.

To support this growth, in March 2023, SAP introduced its new offering, GROW with SAP. This solution is designed to simplify a company’s transition to cloud ERP with a pre-configured package of resources. Clients receive tools, methodologies, and implementation support services, allowing them to quickly launch their projects and complete them within as little as 8 weeks.

The core of GROW with SAP is the SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, an enterprise business process management tool equipped with built-in artificial intelligence (AI). This solution also includes best industry practices accumulated over 50 years of SAP’s collaboration with leading representatives from every sector.

The offering combines SAP’s latest cloud ERP version with accelerated implementation services, access to a global community of experts, and free learning resources.

GROW with SAP is primarily designed for mid-sized companies that may need to scale their systems as their business grows. It is intended for organizations new to ERP or cloud solutions and needing a simple, predictable approach to quickly and effectively implement these tools. Larger companies aiming to accelerate their technology innovation cycles also benefit from GROW with SAP, thanks to its scalability without limitations.

“ERP from SAP has long enabled transparent business management for leading companies worldwide. With GROW with SAP, we’re taking service to the next level for mid-sized enterprises, providing them with tailored solutions that will help them grow their business. GROW with SAP ensures flexibility and innovation needed not only today but also for sustainable development in the future,” stated Christian Klein, CEO and member of the SAP SE Executive Board.

Growth without limits

Clients benefit from the wide array of capabilities offered by GROW with SAP. Let’s explore these.

Efficiency

Clients save time by using AI-powered bots and Low Code/No Code tools to automate business processes. Many companies in the mid-market segment, including IT development, consulting, and other professional services, face insufficient support for digitization. GROW with SAP appeals to these clients by providing optimized processes and tools, along with regular updates on regulatory changes and technology innovations, minimizing the need for external IT support. This allows companies tofocus on labor-intensive projects and other tasks aimed at accelerating their business.

Learning

GROW with SAP provides clients with access to the SAP community, where software users, developers, consultants, mentors, and students can exchange ideas, learn, and connect with one another. SAP Community offers a space to gain knowledge on specific topics, business trends, events, and more. Clients can publish blog posts, receive valuable insights from experts on specific subjects, ask questions, and collaborate with members.

The GROW with SAP program also provides access to technical training on the SAP Learning portal. SAP Learning offerings include role-based and industry-specific resources to help users develop cloud technology skills. Clients can explore specific topics and solutions, the SAP learning map, and certification offerings.

Optimized implementation

GROW with SAP utilizes the SAP Activate methodology as a guide for customers throughout the implementation or activation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition. SAP Activate forms the basis for «innovation as a service», helping clients deploy and
expand solution capabilities. The methodology includes six phases—Discovery, Preparation, Explore, Realize, Deploy, and Run—to address proper implementation tasks. SAP Activate provides content for implementing ready-to-use business processes, best practices to reduce risk, speed up project execution, and cut costs and future maintenance. Integrated tools help clients adjust settings, manage systems and projects, migrate, test, expand, and integrate solutions.

SAP recognized the need for a new approach to digital transformation—one that is fast, predictable, and innovative. GROW with SAP offers a winning path to cloud ERP.
