What is SAP GROW?
SAP GROW is the structured and standardized SAP access to SAP Cloud ERP (SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition). The offer addresses companies wishing to build a new structure for their ERP landscape and relying on a cloud-based and clearly defined standard version right from the start.
The focus is on a preconfigured Cloud ERP system with proven best practice processes enabling a fast and plannable implementation and, at the same time, creating a scalable basis for further growth.
SAP GROW (the further development of GROW with SAP) goes beyond the simple provision of software: It combines ERP system, implementation methodology, preconfigured processes and supporting services into a clearly defined overall offer for the initial access to SAP Cloud ERP.
The aim is to enable companies to have an easy, low-risk and structured start with a scalable basis for further developing the IT and process landscape.
Who is SAP GROW suitable for?
SAP GROW addresses medium-sized and growth-oriented companies wishing to implement an advanced ERP system and deliberately relying on a standardized cloud approach right from the start.
In particular, this approach is suitable for:
The focus is on companies that want to build up a lean-structured IT landscape, quickly become productive and reduce complexity while at the same time having a scalable basis for future growth and extensions.
What benefits are provided by SAP GROW?
SAP GROW enables a standardized and clearly defined initial access to SAP Cloud ERP. It supports companies in efficiently and predictably implementing their ERP system:
Preconfigured best practice processes, standardized implementation approaches and a high degree of standardization reduce complexity and allow a speedy go-live.
The subscription model includes infrastructure, operation and updates and ensures transparent and calculable cost structures.
A cloud-based and standardized core creates clear and stable processes, reduces complexity and facilitates operation and further development.
New functions – e.g. in the areas of AI, automation or analytics – are made available in the context of regular updates and can be used if required.
The system can be extended step by step and complemented by additional solutions so that it grows together with the requirements of the company.
What does SAP GROW include?
SAP GROW is no single product but an integrated overall offer for initial access to SAP Cloud ERP.
It includes:
Typically, initial access is made along central business areas such as finance, supply chain or human resources. They form a basis that can be used immediately and, subsequently, they can be extended flexibly and step by step. If required, additional functions, applications and innovations can be integrated – with the final result of a comprehensively networked ERP landscape within SAP Cloud.
How is SAP GROW implemented?
SAP GROW is implemented according to a standardized procedure that is based on SAP Activate Methodology and the fit-to-standard approach. The aim is to make companies familiar with an advanced SAP Cloud ERP system in an efficient, structured and plannable way and to quickly use central business processes productively.
The precise scope, project duration and expansion stages of the implementation are based on the respective corporate objectives. SAP GROW is the framework and target vision for initial access to a scalable cloud ERP system. However, it allows different implementation and expansion paths.
Basic principles of the SAP GROW implementation
Here, the following rules apply:
Consequently, SAP GROW defines framework, contents and target vision for initial access to SAP Cloud ERP and, however, intentionally allows different implementation paths.
SAP GROW Fast – fast initial access to SAP Cloud ERP
Fast initial access. Clear scope. Plannable implementation.
With SAP GROW Fast, SAP offers a standardized approach for fast initial access to SAP Cloud ERP – with clearly defined initial scope and plannable implementation.
The focus is on a clearly defined initial access to the SAP Cloud ERP system based on best practices, a fixed project scope and close cooperation with experienced implementation partners.
What makes SAP GROW Fast special
The implementation approach
SAP GROW Fast is based on a simplified version of the SAP Activate Methodology that is specially designed for the fast and standardized Cloud ERP implementation.
Intentionally, initial access takes place close to the standard version and with a focus on the essential:
The result is the fast go-live of an SAP Cloud ERP system with clearly defined functional scope.
Perspective: growing scalably
Once successfully started, the system will be extended specifically according to the individual requirements and growth targets.
This means that SAP GROW Fast is not a final state but the structured initial access to a scalable and future-proof Cloud ERP strategy.
SAP GROW Fast represents a clearly defined, partner-managed and standardized project approach enabling companies to have quick and secure initial access to SAP Cloud – with the flexibility required for further extensions.
