What does GROW with SAP with Public Cloud offer?

With GROW with SAP, SAP has introduced a new range of solutions to make implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud quick and easy. The range, with Public Cloud at its core, is aimed in particular at growing SMEs that are not using an ERP system yet and at start-ups that are in a growth and expansion phase. It promises increased speed and a high level of flexibility, predictable costs and continuous provision of technical innovations and scalability. This gives companies the critical support they need to boost their growth and adaptability to the market – at minimal cost.

Compared to the Private Cloud version and an on-prem ERP solution, the Public Cloud version relies on standardized, preconfigured processes and follows the fit-to-standard approach. So GROW with SAP is a particularly interesting option for companies that have fewer complex processes, prefer a high degree of standardization and would like to use the public cloud. As the bundle’s name suggests, GROW with SAP assists companies with growing their business and lays the foundation for the digital transformation to the cloud!

The GROW with SAP modules

The GROW with SAP range consists of three key modules for rapidly and innovatively introducing cloud ERP: technological solutions (Solution Components), tools and methods (Adoption & Acceleration Services), and the Community & Learning area.

Solution Components

At the heart of the GROW with SAP range is the Software as a Service (SaaS) solution SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition – the cloud-based version of SAP S/4HANA. SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud is largely standardized and preconfigured, which enables swift startup. The software is based on SAP Fiori, so you benefit from intuitive user interfaces and an excellent user experience. Companies are always at the cutting edge with the latest best practices for various sectors and continuous innovations. With its broad range of functions, SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud covers all key processes in areas such as finance, sales, purchasing, manufacturing, supply chain, service, asset management, R&D and design.

In addition to the cloud ERP system, GROW with SAP also gives you access to the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) as a technological solution. This platform is an innovation platform that allows users to define their own processes and functions beyond the S/4HANA Cloud standard. SAP Build provides users with a low-code development environment that they can use without any need for programming knowledge. So companies can remain agile at all times, as mapping of changing requirements is both fast and flexible.

Adoption & Acceleration Services

So you can get off to a smooth start in the world of cloud ERP, GROW with SAP offers access to tried-and-tested tools and methods (“Adoption & Acceleration Services”). SAP Activate provides you with a standardized methodology that supports you with a guided configuration process and best practices when introducing SAP S/4HANA Cloud and makes implementing your cloud solution considerably easier! Avoid unexpected situations by relying on a proven implementation service that offers a clear scope and schedule – so there are no surprises after the fact.

In addition to SAP Activate, SAP Cloud ALM (Cloud Application Lifecycle Management) offers comprehensive functions for providing, implementing and operating cloud solutions. Whether you are processing, testing and deploying, or even performing task management, SAP Cloud ALM optimizes your operational processes and minimizes downtimes. Thanks to the holistic approach, you benefit from transparency of and control over your IT landscape and receive support throughout the entire implementation process, so you can concentrate on what is essential: growing your company.

Community & Learning

The SAP community helps you learn from SAP experts, partners and customers in an open, collaborative community, exchange information about SAP solutions, and share best practices. You can also access free and fully accessible learning content covering the entire portfolio of solutions.
