Access a pre-configured, accessible, easy, and cost-effective environment with GROW with SAP

Exclusively for small and midsize companies looking to integrate processes, optimize resources and improve strategic decision-making.

Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) reach a point in their business evolution where they want to transform the way they operate by improving efficiency and responsiveness to industry and market changes, which means starting to think about implementing an ERP to not only focus on internal management but also think about how to integrate with the broader technology landscape in an increasingly complex and competitive environment, where the need to optimize processes and improve decision-making are compelling reasons and priorities for an organization.

In this context, the adoption of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is presented as a fundamental strategy that allows the integration and efficient management of the various areas to cover processes of Human Resources, Finance, Purchasing, Sales, Inventory, Planning, among others, i.e., the entire business operation.

Adopting an ERP system represents a strategic investment that can transform the way a company operates, from integrating processes to improving decision-making and efficient resource management, where the benefits are multiple and varied. Companies that implement ERP are better positioned to meet market challenges and take advantage of the opportunities that arise in a world where agility and efficiency are essential to success, and where the decision to adopt ERP becomes an important step towards optimization and sustainable growth.

Adopting ERP Drives Business Growth

In response to the need for companies to adapt and grow, they are looking for cloud ERP solutions that can be implemented quickly, securely, and cost-effectively, focusing on process integration, resource optimization, and improved decision-making, all in an accessible and easy-to-use environment.

To this end, there are currently 2 offerings from SAP: GROW with SAP which focuses on the public cloud, and RISE with SAP which offers other operating models: private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid where private cloud and on-premise operating models allow for greater customization, but require companies to be more involved in technical issues.

A company's adoption decision between GROW with SAP and RISE with SAP, or another deployment model, is influenced by application scenarios, process requirements, and willingness to commit to standards:

• For those who need little customization and can use a pre-configured ERP system, the safe path will be GROW with SAP, which provides quick and easy access to the benefits offered by the cloud ERP world.
• Those needing customized processes will be better off opting for RISE with SAP and will need to plan a longer project that delivers an ERP system tailored to their company and business model.

GROW with SAP therefore uses pre-configured best practices that can be adopted immediately to facilitate the setup of a complete ERP system in the public cloud out-of-the-box, including predictable and accelerated implementation.

Additionally, SAP is embracing the era of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) and is committed to integrating AI into its product portfolio and internal strategies, with GROW with SAP being the vendor's most advanced.
